Indulging in the delight of dining alone is one of life’s greatest pleasures. If you're one of the 36 million Americans who live alone or one of the countless others who cook for themselves for other reasons, you'll love our cookbook Cooking for One, which has more than 160 perfectly portioned recipes, along with approachable tips that will help you become a smarter, more confident, and less wasteful cook.
Regardless of how many people you're cooking for, stocking certain essential kitchen equipment—from a good-quality skillet to a serviceable chef’s knife—can make or break a recipe and ensure you’re always prepared for mealtime.
The good news is that cooking for yourself requires the same standard kitchen equipment you likely already own. But while working on our cookbook all about solo dining, Cooking for One, we found that there are a few specific items that you should consider adding to your kitchen if you regularly cook for one. And we don’t mean tiny loaf pans or other gimmicky single-use gadgets—we’re talking about items you’ll use often and will make cooking for one so much simpler.
More than 160 perfectly portioned, easy-to-execute recipes, flexible ingredient lists, and ideas for improvising to your taste.
