Compare Batch Cooking Against Nightly Cooking for Your Week

Batch cooking is the internet's answer to everything, which is suspicious. Describe your actual week, evenings out and all, and this compares full batch prep, part-prep and nightly cooking on time, quality by Thursday, waste and washing up. You get a recommendation, not a lifestyle.
