Once you get the hang of how to create a smaller scale recipes without a lot of waste, you can branch out on your own with the skills you learned here. We were both glad I had gone with the 4 servings option so there were leftovers for lunch the next day.
The majority of recipes out there are tailored to feeding an entire family, or at least for two individuals. Cooking for One by America’s Test Kitchen (ATK) isn’t a chef’s manifesto or a collections of scaled down recipes from sixty years ago. You will be spending a bit more time in this part of your home so why not make it a fun experience every time. Dedicate a table and a chair to be your dining area, spread an attractive tablecloth over it and place a vase with some fresh cut flowers in it.
Many foods are packaged in large sizes, so when you need only a small amount, the remainder often gets tossed, either because you forget about it or don’t know what to do with it. and there are plenty of meatless options in the breakfast and side dishes chapters, this is not a vegetarian cookbook. Next on our to-try list: Fast Fix Fried Rice, Corn and Green Pepper Frittata, and the Almond Ginger Bulgur.
They make you feel like a wise teacher or friend is popping by to help you cook better and eat healthfully. In addition to flavourful meals, this cookbook includes clever ideas of how to reduce food waste and source single servings of fresh ingredients.The fish section is particularly good and I found several recipes that look like they should be in rotation (salmon, fish teriyaki.

The little bit of cayenne in the recipe gives it a fun spicy kick that tastes great with a dollop of Greek yogurt. This cookbook is filled to the brim with innovative recipes for one, with the overall goal to help solo chefs and singles “expand your solo recipe repertoire. We bought an inexpensive waffle maker last year and I couldn’t wait to try making these chocolate waffles with it. Every type of dish is covered: You’ve got mains, sides, soups, salads, sandwiches, one-pan dinners, and desserts.You’ll find a nice variety that includes something for all diets from meat-eaters to vegans but overall I’d describe the majority as vegetarian/flexitarian. Even if I don’t make this specific recipe again I will definitely be adding watercress to my grocery list more often. Melting cheese onto bread isn’t a new idea but the fresh basil and Italian seasoning made our mini flatbreads feel more pizza-like. The recipes are simple with easy-to-follow instructions that require very little skill or experience in the kitchen. It assumes the reader has never cooked anything beyond cereal, and I don't know how I feel about that assumption.
