Getting dinner on the table each day is a universal challenge, but the ways we all tackle this task are as varied as our kitchens themselves. For some, meal planning is a finely tuned operation, complete with spreadsheets, colour-coded shopping lists and meticulous batch-cooking sessions. For others, it’s a spontaneous affair, driven by what’s left in the fridge, a last-minute dash to the shops or simply the mood of the moment.In recent years, there’s been a noticeable rise in hyper-organised meal planners — those who thrive on structure, prepping meals for the week ahead and rarely deviating from their plan.…

I’ve been an avid fan of ditching plastic food containers for quite some time. I much prefer storing leftovers and freezing make-ahead meals in glass storage containers. They reheat better, don’t leave pink stains from tomato sauce, and they don’t warp with use. But earlier this year, I have to tell you, something horrible happened. There I was, standing in my kitchen, waiting for my leftovers to heat up. I was flipping the container lid back and forth between my hands—I use it as a “coaster” under the container so the heat doesn’t leave a mark on my wooden table—and…
