If I could give any mum-to-be one piece of advice, it would be: fill your freezer and your cupboards with delicious things!!
Before Maisie arrived, I went full nesting mode - batch cooking curries, sauces and snacky bits for future (sleep-deprived) me - and it was one of the best things I did. From freezer meals and supermarket heroes to the Charlie Bigham’s that friends dropped off when cooking felt impossible, this is the food that actually saved us in those newborn weeks.
