Budget Cooking for One Series

About this series
Homemade desserts are something that I nearly gave up on altogether after my children left home. It seemed silly to spend time making the desserts that I had previously made for four or five people only to end up having to eat the same dessert myself for a few days.
I absolutely love sweet stuff so I decided to research and adapt some desserts that I could make just for myself but at the same time, were easy to increase for when I had visitors.
This book is the results of my labors. There are different types of desserts from baked to frozen, cakes and sweets to hot puddings – and I love them all…
My aim with this series of 'Cooking for One' books is to document quick and easy recipes that even a novice cook will easily be able to replicate. Sure, there are thousands of cookbooks on the market but, in my experience, most are trying to invent new recipes. I have tried to include well-known food that a beginner may be familiar with but not know how to make.
Almost all the recipes in this book are simple to make.

Cooking for a vegetarian can sometimes be a challenge. Thinking of something new and interesting to cook that doesn't include meat or meat products can really test your imagination, especially when cooking for one. It can be very tempting to resort to the ready-made vegetarian meals that you can find in the supermarkets. But it really is so much more fun to plan and cook your very own vegetarian food. Cooking for one means you are free to experiment with ingredients and flavors that you particularly like. No-one wants to eat the same few things week after week so I decided to delve into the selection of vegetarian recipes I have tried, tested and tweaked over the years and put them into this book. Some are really quick to put together, others may take a little more time. But all have ingredients that are mostly cheap to buy and easy to find. A lot of the recipes show interesting ways to use left-overs too when cooking for one. Where possible I have used fresh, seasonal produce unless there is a good alternative. For example, I would never spend time shelling peas (life is too short…) when I have a bag of frozen peas in the freezer, I also use frozen sweetcorn kernels rather than buying a can that I have to use up. You may be looking at this book because you have a family member that is vegetarian and you are struggling to come up with good, satisfying meal ideas. You may have a child that has decided not to eat meat anymore for whatever reason (it happens…). You may even have decided to remove meat products from your own diet. Whatever the reason, this book will provide you with some ideas for quick, cheap, nutritious and tasty vegetarian dishes for one as well as stimulate your imagination so you can invent your own. Cooking vegetarian food for one can be interesting as well as fun.
