What Is Meal Prep and Why Does It Matter?

Meal prep simply means planning, preparing, or part-cooking meals ahead of time, so you can eat better and save valuable hours during the week. It’s a powerful shortcut for busy families, time-stretched professionals, and fitness-focused eaters who want great food without the daily effort.

Gousto takes meal prep further. You get fresh ingredients, chef-designed recipes, and the freedom to prepare meals your way, so you’re never stuck with the same texture and flavour every day.

With Gousto, meal prep isn’t just convenient, it’s tasty, varied and designed around you.

1. Pick your recipes

Choose from 175+ dishes each week on our menu, including time-saving favourites, batch cooking options, and recipes tailored to your dietary goals.

2. Receive fresh, pre-portioned ingredients

Everything arrives in sustainable packaging, perfectly portioned to reduce food waste and cut prep time in half. No more last-minute supermarket dashes.

3. Cook once, enjoy all week

With easy-to-follow steps and customisable plans, you can cook ahead, portion out meals, and enjoy fresh, home-cooked food whenever it suits you.

And the best part? You can skip or cancel anytime, switch recipes before delivery, and update your plan as your week changes. That’s meal prep that actually works with your lifestyle.

Discover Gousto’s New Batch Cooking Range

Meet Batch Cook, Gousto’s fresh spin on meal prep for your busiest weeks. Instead of reheating yesterday’s leftovers, Batch Cook gives you one prep session and two knockout plates of food. You’ll enjoy clever cooking that stretches your effort further, with meals that feel totally different from one day to the next.

Inspired by the insight that midweek meals can sometimes feel like a mission, Batch Cook brings convenience and creativity together, so tonight’s dinner becomes tomorrow’s winner without any extra stress.

How It Works

Our Batch Cooking Range makes it easy to prep once and enjoy more:

• Extra portions of key ingredients appear across multiple dishes
• Cook once, then remix the base into a second, flavour-packed meal
• Two distinct dinners, each with its own textures, toppings and sides

Think creamy Chicken with Potatoes one night, the next a delicious Chicken and Pea Tortiglioni. Or whip up a hearty Sundried Tomato & Chicken Stew, then use the stew as the sauce base for a Creamy Orzo. That’s the magic, double the deliciousness with zero compromise. Check out which two meals you could be Batch Cooking this week on our menu.

Why It’s Smarter Than Ready-Made Meal Services

Batch Cook gives you the flexibility (and flavour) that heat-and-eat brands simply can’t match:

• Enjoy fresh flavours every time: Not the same reheated meal for days
• Real variety: Enjoy totally different dishes from one base
• More control: Adjust seasoning, add toppings, customise to your taste

Where ready-to-eat meal delivery services focus on convenience, Gousto champions freshness, creativity and flexibility, all while helping you get ahead of your week. Gousto helps you cook smart, not hard, with fresh flavours for today and tomorrow.
