Not only is it possible, it's the secret to being able
to feed large crowds.

Cook them about 80% give or take, depending on what you're
cooking, bag and fridge them. Just don't do it more than
one day ahead.

I've done everything from wings to falafel this way
and you can't distinguish them from those made a la
minute.
