Cooking for one; Quick & easy cooking

Many of us cook for one on a regular basis - isn't it time we became more selfish in the kitchen? Celebrating the joy of self-reliance and self-sufficiency, Signe Johansen shares 80 fabulous recipes for happy solo cooking.

Beautifully photographed and designed, the cookbook includes a range of tasty and uncomplicated no-cook fast food and one-pot dishes to transform your daily routine. Signe shows how to make big batch recipes that you can reinvent and enjoy throughout the week. There's also a chapter with more adventurous recipes for when time is on your side.

Packed with advice for keeping a streamlined larder and tips for late-night fridge foraging, Solo: The Joy of Cooking for One will inspire you to cook delicious food, every day.

Reviews for Solo: The Joy of Cooking for One

At last, a book of lovely recipes by someone who knows that cooking isn't always for sharing. It's just as important to eat well on your own. -- Diana Henry Joyous recipes for one -- India Knight A book that turns a chore into a pleasure ... Johansen is never less than in tune with her reader. -- Observer Food Monthly A (delicious) manifesto on the plus points of getting into the kitchen with only yourself to feed -- Telegraph Turning cooking for one from a soul-destroying mathematical exercise to a self-loving luxury, Solo is gleefully self-indulgent yet somehow wildly practical -- Alexandra Heminsley Indulge yourself with mussels, fennel and wine or revamp that most melancholy of late-night staples - noodles - with Signe's recipe for miso ramen. -- Observer Food Monthly
