I didn't know there were books-but I do it all the time. However, I find some foods don't freeze well--mainly the foods that have starches such as potatoes, rice and pastas as the main ingredent.
DH always BBQ, grills or smokes about 4 meal worths of a time. The meat I find freezes very well.
When I make soups/chili/meatloaf, I always do 2-3 batches at a time.
If I buy meat that is marked down due to its date, I buy it in bulk, cook it al up and then freeze what is beyond what we will eat for 1 meal.
Some I freeze in family size, other things I freeze in DH size. If I send it frozen with him to work, buy his lunch time it is thawed and ready for him to nuke, (and keeps the other food cool without needing an icepack). He works 12-14 hour shifts, so he likes a nice meal after being there 6-7 hours.
