🥘
Simple Cooking is about making everyday food easier, prepping a bit calmer, and overall less wasteful. Here you’ll find practical meal ideas, cooking-for-one tips, low-waste kitchen habits, simple meal planning, and familiar recipes that don’t require a cupboard full of special ingredients.
So you bought a packet of ground beef and realised your usual meatloaf recipe feeds six? Handy if you’ve invited people round. Slightly less handy on an ordinary weeknight when you just want dinner for yourself.
Got half a cabbage lurking in the fridge again? The good news is that cabbage is one of those wonderfully unfashionable vegetables that can sit there for quite a while without turning into expensive compost.
Cooking for one shouldn’t require half a dozen specialist ingredients you’ll never use again, three pans and enough leftovers to see you through next Thursday.
Cooking for one sounds simple until you’re staring at a fridge full of half-used ingredients, a sad bag of greens and a suspicious tub of leftovers you no longer trust.
Nibbling on peanut butter toast over the sink again? Sick of Sunday’s leftovers four days in a row? Or does your local takeout jaunt know what you want before you’ve barely said hello?
Solo meal prepping can be a drag, but these 15 recipe ideas for all tastes are easy, quick and nutritious.
