Mid-Week Meals Made Easy – Flavourful Fixes for Busy Lives

Let’s be honest—mid-week meals can feel like a chore. Between work, family, and everything in between, cooking from scratch often gets bumped down the priority list. But just because time is tight doesn’t mean flavour should take a back seat. The key to surviving the mid-week madness? Batch cooking and clever shortcuts that don’t compromise on quality.

Baked Pasta

Batch It, Don’t Botch It

Meal prep is a game-changer. Having a stash of homemade sauces like tomato, vegetable, or cheese can transform your week. Our go-to? A rich tomato base—it’s the backbone of classics like shakshuka, shepherd’s pie, lasagne, and baked pasta. One of our absolute favourites is a baked ricotta conchiglie dish with mushrooms, spinach and courgettes—comfort food at its finest.

And if you’re a curry lover, Bohut Tasty Curry Bases best friend. Keep them in your fridge or freezer and you’ve got a delicious, freshly-prepared curry on the table in just 15–20 minutes—whether you cook on the stove or bake in the oven.

Burrata Chaat Bombe

Foodie Favourites Worth Sharing

Every good cook has their secrets, and here are a few of mine:

  • Favourite restaurant: Malay Fellas in Camden Town—authentic Malay flavours and unbeatable value. Check them out.
  • Kitchen essential: The Rotibox. This humble tool keeps my worktop clean, my rotis rolling fast, and my mid-week prep totally stress-free. See the Rotibox
  • Showstopper dish: Burrata Chaat Bombe. Creamy burrata topped with tamarind sauce, green chutney, crunchy sev, and juicy pomegranate. It’s a flavour explosion that’s always a crowd-pleaser—my daughter included! (see image)
  • Favourite ingredient: Cumin is the most versatile spice. You can roast and grind to use as a garnish, or add whole at the start of cooking, a beautiful fragrant warming spice. Here at Bohut Tasty we wash, and air dry the cumin before use, improving the flavour and integrity.

Mid-week meals don’t have to be boring, rushed, or bland. With a bit of planning and the right staples, you can serve up something special—fast.
