Not for everyone tho;)
..I enjoyed what i saw of it,wish id seen the full presentation,im not keen on bulk cooking,im fortunate in that i work part time,therefore i dont need to cook 10 mince/stew/chilli/curry whatever dishes for the freezer..i dont mind freezing my meat in its raw state,but i hate freezing precooked food,to then defrost it to then re-cook/heat etc,but i do like cooking 2 meals from one recipe,with 1 meal being stored in the fridge(rather than freezer),so im always looking for ideas like this one...in fact im sure i posted a thread a while back looking for "mini" bulk cooking ideas like this.:)
PS,forgot to add,I didnt post simply for the concept,it was mainly for the recipes if anyone was interested.

Love the sound of the dumplings! Never thought to add cheese.

Cooking-mama, I have a small fridge and freezer, (I live in a shoebox lol), so can't freeze cooked meals, so thanks for this, really useful and I will just use smaller portions as there's just me.

Byatt I love the sound of the cheese n chive doughballs too,we're gonna have the mince and doughballs for dinner tomorrow,my youngest asked for doughballs last week,but ive never made them before,but il try these ones..
Yeh- theyve added a video link to the presentation now,.:) im gonna watch it in full.
Tut tut Lisa,bangles clanging off the mixing bowl is offputting,I hate to see people cooking with long sleeves or jewellery on.still at least her hairs in a nice neat ponytail.;),good to see so much veg in the mince,ive neve tried marmite in it before..first time for everything tho.
