Book description
Living on one's own is just as likely to be a matter of choice as not
and the numbers adopting this lifestyle are increasing all the time. Yet
the joys of cooking for one - it takes less time, washing up is minimal,
and you can indulge yourself with cuts such as fillet steak which for
larger numbers would be prohibitively expensive - are frequently
overlooked. The 150 specially devised recipes included here, such as
Chicken Milanese, Salt and Pepper Prawns, Baby Pumpkin Gratin and Baked
Eggs with Spinach, focus on what the single person really wants to eat -
quick and easy last-minute suppers and mid-week treats to lazy weekend
meals - not cut-down recipes for four. So whether you are a career girl,
a student, an empty-nester or merely a man left to his own devices for a
few days, this book will prove invaluable. This book marks a new
direction for Amy Willcock, who has previously written six Aga cookery
books and been described by Nigella Lawson as the 'hand-holder to Aga
owners everywhere'. Here she focuses her considerable expertise on the
particular demands of cooking just for one. She holds regular
entertaining and cookery and workshops around the UK, has two young
children, plus a husband and various animals. She also writes a monthly
column for
The Shooting Gazette
and regularly for magazines such as Homes and Gardens
.
