Buy "Home Cooking" by Laurie Colwin, and read her chapter entitled "alone in the kitchen with an
eggplant". Even if you don't find it useful, it's a great read and well worth it. Check it out at

The following PDF has some excellent pointers and some decent recipes. Many of the recipes are
specifically designed for making additional portions that freeze well.

Don't just cook for one every night. cook for more and freeze the excess
then you can take it for lunches or have it when you can't be bothered
cooking. Thats what I always did when I was cooking for one.

Joyce Goldstein just published a cookbook called Solo Suppers. The recipes I've seen from it look
very tasty.

It's very hard to cook for one. But there are some nice recipes and cookbooks devoted to cooking for
TWO and you can usually freeze half for a later date and then nuke it when you can't be bothered
cooking...

From other posts, I gather you are in Oz? So not sure if this will be of help.

I, too, cook for just me most of the time. I prepare all kinds of "freezer" meals for lunches:
soups, pasta dishes, curries, casseroles, etc. For dinners, I tend to cook pretty simply. I get
salmon, chicken, etc, from Costco (this is what I mean about it not being applicable, perhaps, to an
Ozzie), and package it up in individual portions with my foodsaver. I prepare it in whatever fashion
that strikes my fancy which, again, is usually a pretty simple preparation, I'm a minimalist at
heart :-) I add a couple of veggies and/or a salad and that's it. Not much difficulty.
