The Big Cook began in 1997, right when our families were expanding at a dramatic rate and cooking began to become a real challenge. Providing healthy, homemade meals became hard to do as the busy-ness of life began to take over. The authors got together to “cook in masse” creating many meals at the same time to be used on future days. The idea took off and we all came to rely on these meals throughout our hectic schedules on those days ending in the letter “y”. Even having guests over for a wonderful meal became easier when the tasty main course was ready to be cooked.

The Big Cook has truly changed our lives when it comes to supper preparation! Our households are full of activities; sports, music, church, etc. We can’t fully express the satisfaction of going to our freezers and having a choice of great meals available at our fingertips! We have now been doing The Big Cook for over 16 years and will never go back to the old method of meal preparation!
