    Thank you very much for this step-by-step! It's just in time for me as I'm trying to reconfigure some daily planning with the younger kid starting high school next week and the older one having moved out over the summer. It's like a whole new household. Having new ideas like this one here will hopefully inspire easier dinner/lunchbox times throughout the week.

    Wow, honestly Nisha, YouTube hasn't shown me your videos for a week or two, so I was delighted to catch this one. I'd almost forgotten how packed with flavour (and colour) your food always is! What a treat for the eyes just to watch – but I can't leave it there. I'll be making some of these myself!

    I like this style of meal prep way better because like you said – fresher and cuts down time and versatility. Can't stand eating the same thing on the 3rd day. Please share more of this style of meal prep!

    I absolutely LOVE your videos, especially these ones: I’m Italian, we usually have company canteens or affiliated restaurants for our lunch pause…and now, working in Canada and having to prepare packed lunches for the first time has been so difficult! This Sunday I’ve followed your instructions, prepared everything and I’m looking forward to taste it during the week! The only problem for me is pasta and noodles: I have to prepare them the night before, but even if I keep the pasta really al dente and wash it under cold water, the day after it ends up being swollen and floppy…any advice?

    Nice. It feels like the kind of prep a restaurant kitchen would do for some of their dishes.
    Prep what you can in advance to speed up final cook times for fast service for the customers 🙂

    I love this. This reminds me of a video that Rachel Gaewski made and she used this same method you’re describing here! I feel like I will try this because it’ll be nice to not have to spend a majority of the day cooking

    Its essentially professional kitchen prep mindset for a home cook 🙂
    Its great for Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner too as it allows the sides to be prepped and frozen to just chuck in the oven on the day. I used to have most of Christmas dinner prepped the week before 🤣

    I’ve been looking for a healthier/less processed substitute for corn starch for coating and thickening…

    I noticed you used potato starch! Is this your preferred way of coating your tofu? Just curious! Thanks 🙏

    This video was delightful ❤ I make a weekly hummus- I switch it up weekly so I alternate between beet hummus, pea hummus, sweet potato hummus etc always something different. I roast up some seasonal veg twice a week, make a homemade dukkah and a simple dressing. I’m definitely going to try your green sauce it looks like a great way to make use of herbs on hand.

    Amazing timing once again! I will be playing in the Superbowl of Volleyball tournament from Sept 5 to 10, and will be living out of my camper for that week. As a vegan I will have to be making all my own meals (the campground caters to carnivores only) but I will be playing volleyball all afternoon, so spending an hour or more preparing meals isn’t a viable option. I was really stressing about what to do for food, but after watching this amazing video I see I can do much of the prep the night before I leave, and then quickly assemble my meals each evening after volleyball is finished. Your suggested menu looks scrumptious and I will probably make all those dishes as shown, and I also plan to pre-prepare your lentil ‘bolognese’ pasta sauce for a super-easy pasta meal the night I arrive, and I think your “Creamy coconut rice with 5-spice tofu” will work well with the tofu pre-prepared as shown in this video, and I’ll also make a batch of your vegan chili ahead of time for something I can just reheat when I’m too tired to do anything more.
    Your recipes are a mainstay of my cooking, and your uncanny timing with videos showing recipes and techniques just when I need them is amazing. Thank you for all your excellent content!

    I used to do this when I was working and going to school full time. Shopping on weekends, prep ingredients same day, then use prepped ingredients during the week for 15 minute meals.

    On Sundays I make a pot of rice and bake tofu on a sheet pan while roasting an assortment of veggies in a baking dish. Then I combine them with various sauces/condiments throughout the week. Saves a ton of time and thought, and only takes about an hour out of my weekends.
