'Cooking for one is a recipe for loving yourself.' A striking quote from Janneke Vreugdenhil, who clearly shows what her book Solo Food is all about.
Cooking for yourself isn't always fun. Who wants to spend an hour in the kitchen and then eat it in ten minutes? Not everyone, but with more and more single-person households in the Netherlands, more and more people eat alone.
Janneke Vreugdenhil knows all about it and wrote the book Solo Food. Cooking for one person usually doesn't mean you can just divide the ingredients by four.
In Solo Food you will find a handy shopping list with basics that you should always have in your pantry, according to Janneke. The recipes are divided into useful and fun categories. Handy:smart cooking or freeze your favourites. Funny:Netflix Dinner. Who Don't eat there every now and then while watching the latest episode of a series?
Another important lesson from Janneke:don't get too solo. Invite friends to the table, but for the days when you eat alone, you will find 72 delicious recipes in Solo Food.
