One Pot One Portion: 100 Simple Recipes Just for You by Wilkinson, Eleanor

100 simple, comforting, and special one-pot recipes that yield the perfect single serving for people who cook, eat, or live alone and want to eat well.

Cooking for one just got easier and more delicious--no more eating leftovers or washing multiple pots and pans. Here you'll find 100 easy recipes for everything you're craving, even dessert. And to solve the solo cook's dilemma of what do with the rest of that butternut squash or a half-can of coconut milk, each recipe references another that uses one or more of the same ingredients. If you've used an egg white to make the Crispy Chili Beef, you can use the leftover egg yolk to make a cozy Lemon Bread and Butter Pudding for a sweet treat. The chapters include:

• COMFORT recipes for ultimate warmth: Risotto Carbonara, Pumpkin Curry, and Meatball and Mozzarella Orzo.
• FRESH recipes packed with color and vibrancy: Ginger Chicken Rice Bowl, Peanut Noodle Salad, and Pork and Ginger Lettuce Wraps.
• SIMPLE recipes for satisfaction without stress: Tortellini and Sausage Soup, Brothy Pasta with Beans and Greens, and Chorizo, Potato and Feta Frittata.
• SPECIAL recipes for next-level joy: Lobster Spaghetti with Lemon and Tomatoes, Salami and Hot Honey Pizza, and Tuna Tostadas with Avocado, Jalape?os, and Pickled Ginger.
• SWEET recipes to add extra sweetness to your day: Cardamon and Coconut Rice Pudding with Mango, Apple Tarte Tatin, and Self-Saucing Chocolate Mug Cake.

One Pot, One Portion also includes an index of all the ingredients and the recipes that use them to help make grocery shopping easier, plan your meals ahead of time, and minimize waste. Cooking for one has never felt easier, more practical, or more satisfying.
