Perfectly Portioned Recipes for Newlyweds, Roommates, or Empty
Nesters Just because many of us live the life of singles or doubles
doesn't mean we should deny ourselves one of life's finer
pleasures: delicious, home-cooked meals! Move over, fast food . . .
and watch out, takeout! Cooking for Two has arrived. With recipes
for soups, salads, entrees, baked goods, and desserts, there's
something in here for everyone (or two) looking to prepare meals
that are tasty, satisfying, and won't leave you with excessive
leftovers. Find recipes such as: Caramel Banana French Toast Crispy
Oven-Fried Chicken Beef Stew for Two Broccoli Mac & Cheese
Overnight Mini Baguettes Boston Cream Pie and More! College
students will appreciate that virtually every recipe in the book
can be prepared using either a microwave or toaster oven or a hot
plate. Couples learning to cook together will love the shopping
tips, suggestions for appropriate cooking utensils, and
easy-to-follow instructions. Health-conscious cooks are in luck, as
each recipe includes an approximate calorie count.
With Keto For One, get 100 delicious dishes for every meal of the
day-perfectly proportioned and macro-balanced. Single-serve cooking
is one of the biggest challenges when trying to adhere to an eating
plan. Most recipes are portioned for 4-6 servings, which means
you'll be eating the same thing for a week or trying to adjust
recipes and struggling to figure out proper cooking times and
fractions of measurements. With keto, you also have the additional
challenge of balancing your macronutrients-a few too many carbs or
not enough fat and your recipe is no longer in the ketogenic zone.
No more fussing with recipes. No more eating leftovers. No more
wasted food (or money!). No more cobbling together snacks and
calling it a meal. No more temptation to give into carb-laden,
nutrient-void, single-serving convenience foods. Just delicious
recipes from "low-carb queen" and best-selling author Dana
Carpender. Enjoy delicious keto burgers and smoothies, as well as
quick skillet stir-fries and plenty of tasty meals that can be
pulled together quickly or ahead of time.
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.
You could be forgiven for thinking that the keto lifestyle is an
expensive one - but that doesn't have to be the case. In this
highly anticipated follow-up to the bestselling Keto Kitchen and
Lazy Keto Kitchen, Monya Kilian Palmer shares all the secrets of
how to enjoy the energy-boosting (and weight-loss) benefits of the
low-carb keto lifestyle without breaking the bank. From clever use
of leftovers to how to get the most out of more affordable cuts of
meat, this book is packed with ideas to transform even the most
basic of ingredients into decadent dishes that still work with your
macros. From tasty Pulled Pork Burgers to Spicy Enchiladas or
Mushroom & Cheese Souffle Omelettes, these good-value,
great-tasting meals will satisfy your taste buds - and your bank
balance. This is keto made simple and affordable.

'Every servantless man and woman should read her.' Truth
Supper for one? Cooking Alone (1954) is a delicious miniature
compendium of tales inspired by a cast of eccentric solitary
characters. Brimming with entertaining anecdotes, recipes (rabbit with
aubergine and prunes, anyone?) and top tips (ever wondered how to store
ice cream in a bedsit?), Kathleen Le Riche is a witty, charming guide
to the single life. Reissued with a new foreword by Bee Wilson, this
vintage delight is a hymn to the pleasures of dining solo.

and you would rather not spend the money on making a big batch, or
be faced with eating leftovers for a week. Following on from the
huge success of One Tin Bakes and One Tin Bakes Easy, Great British
Bake Off winner Edd Kimber's new book proves that good things
really do come in small packages! It offers accessible, easy bakes

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.
