The Ultimate Cooking for One Cookbook: 175 Super Easy Recipes Made Just for You by Joanie Zisk
My Rating: ★★★★

I read a different cooking for one book not long ago and decided to check out the other books out there. In this book, you will find 175 simple recipes that are perfect for when you’re only cooking for one person. It’s extremely easy to adjust most of the recipes for allergies. However, if you’re allergic to oats like I am, you’ll have to skip the overnight oats recipes all together.

The book is organized by the type of dish one will be cooking, such as breakfast, side dishes, chicken or seafood, vegetarian, or dessert. There are quite a few delicious sounding recipes under each section. However, the book is lacking in photos of the dishes, so if you’re someone who wants to see pictures before each dish, keep that in mind when considering picking up this book.

Overall, the dishes look and sound delicious. One of the things I like about this book is that there’s an occasional tip offered at the end of each recipe that can help you improve your cooking technique, avoid waste, etc. There are also tips on how to avoid food waste in the opening in the book, and the author encourages making the weekends the days one tries to use up any leftover veggies and such from the week. I’m looking forward to making some of the dishes found in the book as well as checking out more cooking for one books in the future.
