Cooking-for-one can be enjoyable and tasty!
Recently, one of our subscribers bemoaned the cost of cooking for one. You might as well go to a soup kitchen;
its far cheaper, she said.
We didnt argue. Cooking for one can be more expensive than cooking for two (and thats not counting the
value of time spent grocery shopping!) But then articles about comfort-seeking people munching cookies and
sweets casting their diets out the window began appearing in the press. We thought some more about the topic.
Cooking for one holds valuable potential for all of us during these stressful times. Its a way of feeding ourselves,
of course, but it can also be a source of comfort and nurturing. Whether its eating healthy personally seeking
out fresh ingredients or tantalizing our taste senses, it can be a rewarding aspect of single life and it neednt
be expensive as many of the following books show.
Enjoy recipes crafted for one person!
Bon Appetit!
