Getting ahead for a family Sunday lunch

Asked on 18 Jul 2019 by Simon01

Help Lindsey. I'm having family for a Sunday lunch in the near future and I'm struggling to find a main course that's not spicy and that I can cook ahead, ie the day before, so I can be part of the gathering and not worn to a frazzle in the kitchen. My guests are plain foodies

Would a roast work if it was cooked the day before and reheated on the day in gravy?

Thank you for any suggestions. Eileen

Hello Eileen,

We wouldn’t reheat a roast.

Perhaps a wet dish, something that is served cold or something that is prepared in advanced and simply cooked when needed.
