Sunday afternoon rolls around and you know what's coming, another week of juggling school runs, work deadlines, and somehow keeping everyone fed without resorting to takeout for dinner. The good news? An hour on Sunday, with the right kitchen appliances, can completely transform your week from chaotic kitchen scrambles to "wow, I've actually got this sorted" satisfaction.
The Game Plan That Actually Works
Forget those intimidating meal prep photos with perfectly portioned containers for every single meal. Real meal prep is about creating versatile building blocks that work harder than you do. Think of fresh components that you can mix, match, and transform throughout the week - not sad reheated meals that make you question your life choices.
Curtis Stone’s Farmers Market Salad is the perfect example. Whip up that gorgeous basil dressing with your Beat Blitz hand blender on Sunday, quickly cook up some chicken breast and boil up a few eggs, and then all week long you're just thirty seconds away from restaurant-quality salads for lunch. Just pack your favourite fresh greens and crisp vegetables each morning, add a serve of precooked chicken or 2-3 boiled eggs and store your dressing in the work fridge to drizzle over your fresh salad each day.
Prep Your Winter Warmers So You Are Winning All Week
Here's where our Cook Blend Pro multi-purpose food processor becomes your weekend hero. Whether it's Curtis Stone’s Potato Leek Soup recipe or another favourite soup recipe, our Cook Blend Pro food processor will create a week's worth of comforting meals with just the one appliance (no pots or pans needed) and allowing you the option to prep other meals at the same time! No constant stirring, no babysitting the stove, just pure convenience with a press of a button. Just add your ingredients to the blender - just as they are, raw veggies and all, and then let our Cook Blend Pro, cook and then blend to have your favourite soups ready in minutes! And the best part, our Cook Blend Pro even cleans itself! Victory!
Your New Lunch Hero: Cauliflower Rice
This is where our Prep Master Pro food processor absolutely shines, transforming fresh cauliflower into perfect rice-like texture in seconds to create a low carb side dish or a main meal like Curtis Stone’s Cauliflower Fried Rice recipe.
This recipe combines stir-fried vegetables, aromatic ginger and garlic, plus crunchy cashews and fresh herbs for a satisfying meal that's way more interesting than regular fried rice. Make a big batch on Sunday, portion it out, and you've got delicious, nutritious meals sorted for the week.
And why stop with cauliflower rice? Our Prep Master Pro food processor with twin titanium-coated stainless steel blades can slice through anything. Create fresh tomato salsa from whole tomatoes and onions, blend smooth sauces and purees, or crush ice with berries, yogurt and honey to make enough smoothie mix for the whole family's breakfast. There's nothing like fresh homemade sauces, dips and purees without any preservatives or unknown sugars that can make you feel like 'Mum-of-the-Year'!
Friday Night - Pizza Night
While it’s only Sunday, it doesn’t mean you can’t prep for your ‘Friday-Night-Family-Night’. Again using our hero, the Prep Master Pro large food processor, create this home made pizza dough using the dough blade, and then store in balls in the freezer until Friday morning. Defrost on Friday and that night, get the whole family involved making the pizza bases and covering them in their favourite toppings to throw into our Slice Master digital pizza oven for home made pizza! Now that will give you ‘hero-status’ in your home!
One of our favourite veggie pizza options is Curtis Stone’s Zucchini and Squash Pizza where our Prep Master Pro food processor will do all the hard work for you when it comes to slicing up all the veggies.
With our Duraprès appliances halving all the prep time, doing the cooking for you, and even self cleaning (when it comes to our Cook Blend Pro food processor) a small amount of time on Sunday prepping for the week will eliminate the daily "what are we eating?" panic, reduce those guilty takeaway moments, and save you time for more important things during the week!
Bon Appetit!
