I live on my own and like cooking. Can anyone recommend any good websites or recipe books for one person?

(I do really mean cooking, not just microwaving ready meals or really basic student cooking - its really hard trying to divide recipes that are designed for 4 or 6 people!)





Thanks

I NEVER cook for one person even though I live by myself. I'll cook and put the extras into zip look baggies and freeze those puppies and they never go to waste! A whole roast chicken is good for two.


You don't tell anybody what you like - Italian, Mexican, spicy or bland.

Hello food lover...


have you checked out some of Charlie Trotters books, their amazing...http://topchefs.chef2chef.net/recipes/tr鈥?/a>


They go for about $98 each but are worth it.





Here are some sites for good recipes...

go to www.recipezaar.com..........they have every kind of recipe!
You can get some of my recipes from my site
Cooking for one is really hard to do , to the point where it's very questionable whether or not it's actually worth the cost and effort .


Converting recipes is basically straightforward stuff once somebody has shown you how to do it correctly.


The problem becomes that at a single serving portion size , the recipes are all going to contain bastard numbers and may very well be impossible to actually make as one portion


Out of necessity therefore, portions have to increased so they are make-able .


One of three things will happen after that :


You will eat more than you intended to.


You will throw out more than you intended to


or You will have a lot of left-overs that hopefully you will some day eat .


To further complicate this problem


is the reality of shopping. Unless you are fortunate enough to have a store where you can buy food in single serving sizes including herbs and spices you will wind up wasting a lot of food.


The reason that single people wind up eating in restaurants is not that they can't cook ; it's just that after all is said and done it's simply not worth it to do so.

go to foodgeeks.com, they have many recipes, and a little box on the side where you can put how many servings you want, and it adjusts the ingredient quantities on the recipe!
believe it or not foodtv.com has some great tried and tested recipes.
