About cooking-for-one-person.com
Single individuals know how hard it is to cook for one person. I don’t need to tell you that. We may be completely different individuals living different lives, but there's a good chance that if you got this far, you and I connect on a basic, daily level.
You and I cook for ourselves. Single, widowed, divorced, or any other category which you identify with, we both need to eat in order to live.
I know how hard it can be for you. The kitchen poses challenges, frustrations, and burnt mistakes for the person cooking for one. Cooking for one person requires different strategies and meal planning than cooking for a typical family of four. Many find cooking for one person frustrating because they grew up with family-sized cooking, and that is all they know.
There is not enough thorough information available for a person cooking for one. You're tired of food spoiling faster than you can eat it. You can't find many recipes. You're tired of creating a dinner from random snacking. You don't want to be in the kitchen for hours - nor should you.
Many spend more time putting clothes on their bodies than deciding what will go into their bodies. Nobody feeds us except ourselves. Being single, there is nobody waiting for a meal, and there is nobody else to please. It is no wonder that people cooking for one find cooking difficult.
This website is a product of my personal work, experience, and love. Its purpose is to guide, instruct, and inspire the millions of people like you who are cooking for one.
The art and science of cooking for one person is to be sensible, satisfying, and simplified. With millions of single people all cooking for themselves, you and I are in good company.
I have always been intrigued by food. It nourishes us, sustains us, and gives us great pleasure. I am not a chef or professional cook, nor do I claim to be. Unless you have a chef or a professional cook cooking for you, you will be doing the cooking. Your mother or grandmother may not have been a chef or master cook, but their food was cooked with love and care. Even though you are one person, you still deserve TLC sprinkled into your meals. Not every meal needs to be a gourmet masterpiece, but the meals should be nourishing, practical, and comprise of real food.
This site does not explicitly endorse any definite diet plan or regime. Balance and moderation are my mantras. I offer a bias towards natural, wholesome, quality food without being unreasonable or extreme. I grew up picking cherries off of the tree in the backyard on a warm July morning which would later turn up in a pie for dessert after dinner. Cookies came from the oven, not the store. Eggs came from nesting hens.
This can-do mentality and a soil-to-mouth attitude shaped my outlook on food. I firmly believe "you are what you eat". You deserve to eat wholesome, enjoyable food regardless if your meal is solo.
This website is your virtual handbook to cooking for one. Your kitchen is a 24-hour, tip-free restaurant waiting for you with a table for one.
