masterpiece' Richard Bertinet Julie Jones, Instagram influencer and
author of Soulful Baker and The Pastry School conducts online

recipes for sweet and shortcut pastry, which can then be used in

of delicious sweet and savoury fillings. Chapters on Fruit, Dairy,
Meat & Fish and Vegetables include 40 recipes that can all be
adapted to variety of decorative approaches. The recipes can be
used for a large square or round pie, or six smaller pies,
according to your needs. In total there are more than a hundred
decorative pies and tarts to feast your eyes on. Recipes include a
Broderie Anglaise lemon tart, a basket-weave feta pie, floral white
chocolate tarts and a cod & chorizo pie inspired by antique
tiles. Every chapter includes exquisite photography by Andrew

Suddenly faced with cooking for yourself for the first time and don't want to exist on a diet of takeaways or squander your money on expensive ready-made meals? Don't worry! All the recipes you need are here, starting right at the beginning with how to boil an egg - and then how to poach, scramble and fry it as well!
The essential guide for those new to cooking. Includes:
- useful table of quantities when cooking for one
- simple instructions on how to prepare vegetables
- easy, tasty and economical meals
Most of the recipes serve one - but some feed two or more for when you're entertaining friends. How to Boil an Egg explains all the things that other cookery books assume you know.
Cooking for one is harder than it seems and it can leave anyone
wanting to make a healthy, tasty meal either throwing out extra
helpings or watching expensive ingredients expire. But it's
possible to prepare single-serving recipes that are full of
flavour, easy to make, and economical if you have the right guide.
The Ultimate Cooking for One Cookbook allows you to make a fresh,
delicious, home-cooked meal for one without creating a week's worth
of leftovers or leaving an abundance of unused fresh ingredients
that quickly go to waste. Each of the 175 single-serving recipes is
quick and simple to make and save you both time and money. And
while the ingredients are common, the results are anything but. In
addition to flavourful meals, this cookbook includes clever ideas
of how to reduce food waste and source single servings of fresh
ingredients.
Everyone loves soup, it is the ultimate comfort food. Whether you
yearn for a traditional creamy tomato, a spicy fish chowder or a
deliciously umami-rich ramen, a mug of soup is the perfect supper
on the sofa, quick lunch and between-meal savoury snack. But a
great-tasting soup has to involve long cooking with big pans and
bulk ingredients, right? Wrong! Every soup in this book has been
specially created to suit the microwave and to be cooked in a
single mug, ready to eat. Instead of opening up a can, you can have
an even yummier home-cooked mushroom soup, or chicken, even
minestrone - made fresh in just the same amount of time.

At a time when 31 million American adults live alone, Klancy Miller
is here to show that cooking for one is something to embrace. While
making single servings from other cookbooks means scaling down
ingredients, adjusting cooking times, or being stuck with
leftovers, Cooking Solo gives readers just what they need to make a
delicious meal all for themselves. Among the few other "cooking for
one" books, this is the first by a hip young woman, whose vibrance
and enthusiasm for cooking for herself comes through in the 100
attractive recipes like Tahitian Noodle Sandwich, Smoked Duck
Breast Salad, Spicy Pork Burger with Coconut, and Mackerel with
Lemon and Capers. Klancy also includes a chapter on entertaining at
home, because being single still means having fun with friends.
