Plan a Week of Batch Cooking for One

Cooking for one ends in either nightly faff or a fridge of waste. This plans a week around three components you cook once (a grain, a protein, a sauce or veg) that recombine into five to seven different meals, so you are not eating the same dish until you hate it. For single-person households who want to eat well without a daily production.
