Synopsis

Living on your own? Sick of eating takeaways? This little book will help you master the art of feeding yourself. Cooking 4 One is a basic, no-frills cookbook. There are no intimidating pictures. There are no fancy recipes you need a degree in food science to understand. The focus is on cooking for yourself, so the instructions are about how you do it for one. If you’ve never cooked before, take comfort in the knowledge that if you can boil a pan of water on a cooktop, you already possess one of the main skills required for success in the kitchen. Cooking 4 One covers buying and storing food, and preparing meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It has sample menus to help you plan your meals and a section on entertaining - for when you’ve mastered the basics. Written by a fellow traveller, who unexpectedly found himself on his own, this little book dispels the myth that cooking is complicated.

When I was a kid, spaghetti came in a can.

Pasta is one of the easiest foods to cook. It's basically boiling water and dropping the pasta in. When it's cooked - and they even tell you on the packet roughly how long that will take, you simply drain it, stir in a few spoonfuls of your chosen pasta sauce and add some grated cheese. Enjoy with a glass of mineral water or wine. You don't have to be Italian. All it takes is a little practice and it's not expensive. Even my mother knows how to cook it the right way now!

Book Excerpt

Cooking 4 One

When I was a kid, spaghetti came in a can. Then I married an Italian - and discovered a whole new world of pasta.

If you can boil water in a saucepan you can cook pasta. If you can cook pasta you will never go hungry, and you’ll be able to impress your mates (buddies) with your culinary skills.

When I was introduced to cooking pasta my wife’s family was still making their own pasta sauce. These days, there are so many varieties of pasta sauce available in the supermarket or speciality Italian food stores, you can enjoy the wide world of pasta without having to know anything about making specialty sauces. You don’t even have to like tomatoes. There are plenty of other sauces to choose from. My only advice is buy the small jar - it usually holds enough sauce for two or three serves - unless you’re entertaining.
