A worthwhile book for anyone who is tired of spending money on prepared food or sick of pasta but not sure where to start with cooking real meals for oneself. Lots of tips for shopping, storage and using up leftovers so food doesn't go to waste. I didn't actually make any of the recipes, but for the most part they're straightforward and not complicated. Not a keeper for me since I'm already cooking for myself pretty successfully.
Get this cookbook, not for the recipes, but for the significant portion of the book spent on how to organize your kitchen and conduct your shopping and cooking to work best in a solo household. Many of these tips also are great for the 2-person home.
My favorite part of this book is a way of using the freezer as short-term storage that was completely new to me.

I got this book for my father after my mother died and he started cooking. He wasn't interested in new recipes so I inherited it and loved it. I found so many GREAT ideas and tips in the book that I used for single recipes and adapted for use in other recipes.
The best book I've found so far for the single cook. The book also includes lots of tips and tricks for singles.. As well as a nice baking/dessert section with smaller portion sizes.
Wonderful cookbook for a person cooking for one. Excellent tips and info.
I really enjoyed looking through this book. Lots of fresh ideas for throwing together quality, quick meals for one. Also includes many handy tips on using leftovers to create a new meal for those of you who quickly get sick of eating the same thing more than a time or two. The night I picked this book up, I ended up making made-from-scratch pancakes for the first time. They were a bit rubbery (probably because I used soy milk) but yummy and a wonderful late night snack all the same.
