For those people who aren't cooking for a crowd or a family of four -- this brilliant little book fills a real gap. These days, there are as many people living on their own or in partnerships as there are living in bigger groups. In these pages you will find practical yet interesting recipes for everyday eating that aren't designed to feed a family's appetites. No need to divide quantity measurements for four or six, or to be limited by children's preferences (although there are meals that will appeal to all tastes). And for those cooking for one, the extra portion provides handy leftovers. The focus is on quick, simple yet delicious recipes that can be put together from readily available ingredients. Perfect for a meal after work, but so appealing that you'll turn to them when cooking for a special occasion.
