Product Description

This book is intended to be a useful cluster of quick and simple recipes. All are made with common ingredients and fresh produce available in most grocery stores. In Healthy Cooking for One, each dish has been designed to serve one, in sytle.

Fast food restaurants are not my favourite as they are mostly high in fats, carbohydrates and calories, and while fast food restaurants offer biggie sizes, I prefer the small sizes. When you talk about eating well, size matters. I like to cook my own food, because it is fresh, tasty and gives me control over the serving portion and the amount of fats that I intake. Even though I have a full time job; I prefer to dedicate a short time to prepare my own meals. I look for tasty and fast recipes that allow me some evening time for myself, while still eating well. Long cooking projects are being left for another book; this one is dedicated to those after-work, early-evening meals and snacks full of taste that can be made in a short time.

Being a single mom demands cooking in small portions and minimizing leftovers. Unlike others who might prefer to cook large amounts and leave leftovers for the next day, I would rather cook a smaller quantity of food of food and have minimal leftovers. For my taste, freshly prepared food just tastes better.

I choose fresh products: roots, fruits and vegetables. My favourite dishes range from sandwiches, dips and salads to stirfrys, all with a potpourri of different flavours.

If you are looking for ideas to prepare quick, tasty dishes, in single portions. . .this book is for you.

Customer Reviews

Not worth the money
I was excited to get this book, hoping for some great ideas for meals for one. Instead what I got was a book with plenty of "dip" recipes and salad dressing recipes. Also a section on the cooking of plantains. There is one recipe with beef (ground beef with frozen veggies... yum! not!) and one with chicken. Save your money and forget this book. I may just return it and get my money back.

No nutritional information!
How can a book that proclaims itself as a healthy cookbook not have any nutritional information on any of the recipes? There were very few (black and white!) pictures and all the recipes seemed boring and uninspired. I would not recommend this book to anyone that likes food.

different style
This book offers a different style and taste; I like the simple and quick recipes, good for those who like small portions instead of a heavy meal.
