The Cooking for One Cookbook: 100 Easy Recipes

Product Information

While many of the recipes include ideas for using up leftovers there are more than a few that call for a small amount of an ingredient (like ¼ cup canned beans or ½ potato) with no information about storage or mention of using up the extras. Lunch: Sardines on toast – sardines in tomato sauce made with two slices of wholemeal toast with vegetable oil-based spread and four cherry tomatoes. Things You Should Know: There are some tasty photos but the majority of the recipes do not have an accompanying photo. While I found the vegetarian mains chapter robust (23 recipes!) and there are plenty of meatless options in the breakfast and side dishes chapters, this is not a vegetarian cookbook.

No matter if you’d like to lose weight or just eat a little healthier, this book will make your weeknight dinner routine even simpler with satisfying, all-in-one recipes. Cooking in a single vessel means streamlined dinners with minimal fuss and cleanup—a huge plus after a long day.Breakfast: Omelette made with two eggs, tomato, 40g spinach and four mushrooms, cooked with 1.5 tsp olive oil. Tinned fish, beans, pulses, eggs and vegetarian alternatives can be a cheaper way to get a good source of protein. The measurements are in cups and do not include metric equivalents. This is not uncommon with cookbooks published for a U.S. audience but I think it’s a missed opportunity since this book is for college kids. Washing dishes in a dorm situation can be super inconvenient. The ability to easily measure using a kitchen scale could really cut down on the number of dirty dishes that need to be washed up.

If you can, buy meat in bulk and freeze in portions. Separating larger portions of mince - for example, into two plastic containers - can save pounds over the year.

If you’re not looking to lower your fat intake or are uncomfortable swapping ingredients, this might not be the cookbook for you. The cookbook is organized by vessels that include everyday cooking equipment such as an Instant Pot®, a sheet pan, a Dutch oven, a skillet, a slow cooker, and an air fryer. As always, the recipes are big on flavor and light on calories, and now more convenient than ever. We’ve included the value for fibre too to help you make sure you are meeting your nutritional requirements. We know lots of people in the UK aren’t eating enough fibre, so it’s important to try and include good sources in your diet everyday.

Smaller households that own a waffle iron, the author’s a big fan of waffles so there are quite a few waffle recipes. One funny thing about the recipe is that the measurements are for a single-serving. If you had beans to use up that’s not a problem but it left us with 3 different open cans of beans. The bible for inventive, on‑trend meals for one or two—from the right‑size pans to just‑right entrees, sides and desserts The author has also included an Extra-Easy Desserts chapter.
