Product Description

Book Description

150 tempting, easy recipes that prove cooking for one can be fun!

Product Description

Living on one's own is just as likely to be a matter of choice as not and the numbers adopting this lifestyle are increasing all the time. Yet the joys of cooking for one - it takes less time, washing up is minimal, and you can indulge yourself with cuts such as fillet steak which for larger numbers would be prohibitively expensive - are frequently overlooked. The 150 specially devised recipes included here, such as Chicken Milanese, Salt and Pepper Prawns, Baby Pumpkin Gratin and Baked Eggs with Spinach, focus on what the single person really wants to eat - quick and easy last-minute suppers and mid-week treats to lazy weekend meals - not cut-down recipes for four. So whether you are a career girl, a student, an empty-nester or merely a man left to his own devices for a few days, this book will prove invaluable.

Well-presented and good portion-sized book but it's not your everyday staple. It's good if you're bored with jacket potatoes and sandwiches or your staple personal 'specials', or if you like to plan your week's meals then go food shopping. But unless you tend to have a stock of out of the ordinary ingredients it's not one to pick up when you're stumped for ideas and starving, wanting to make something there and then. Very few healthy options and no healthy-option tips. Will keep the book though don't see myself opening it unless I want to cook something nice for my fiance and will double up portion sizes.

This is the long-awaited new take on cooking for singletons. There are plenty of books out there for quick and easy single recipes but nothing for those that love to cook and experiment, want a special meal for themselves without having to wrestle with fractional menus or even a practise run for entertaining without having to cook dinner for 4. For a nation inspired by celebrity chefs and hours of TV shows showing how others produce the 'perfect plate of food' now we know how to do it for ourselves!

I am a vegetarian but my husband is not. I like cooking but have tended to cook fairly standard fare for him. This book does have few vegetarian recipes but has lots of meat, fish & seafood recipes. There are separate chapters for breakfast, snacks, meat & poultry, fish & seafood, vegetarian, desserts & puddings. The meat, fish and vegetarian meals get two chapters each, the first for quick meals, the second covering recipes which take a little longer to prepare.

What I think is great is that the recipes show that cooking for one need not be about endless bowls of pasta or baked potatoes or supermarket ready meals. This is much more adventurous, although not necessarily more complicated, cooking for those who are interested in producing something that is not run of the mill. Just to give you a flavour of the recipes here are a few examples: crab & chilli linguine, grilled sea bass with caper & orange butter, duck in green peppercorn sauce, pork chop with orange, chicken thighs with coconut & almonds, slow cooked lamb, loin of lamb with parmesan & basil crust. In addition there are recipes for pheasant breast, quail, scallops, even grouse. I don't suppose I'll use those that often but they will be useful for special meals.
