Now that I'm on my own I find I'm eating too many ready meals so can anyone recommend a cookery book with simple recipes for one person? I would prefer a UK book as I find american cup measements are not very accurate.

Thank you,

I’ve used the dairy diary for years good recipes simple and can be adjusted to size and portions. May I suggest you batch cook my sister does this as she’s on her own bolognese mince and dumplings etc.

If you make a large quiche (you can use ready made pastry) you can cut it into portions and freeze it. I find it very handy to defrost a portion and eat it with salad if I’m in a hurry, or just plain can’t be bothered. And as others have said, batch cook. Bolognese sauce can be used for a number of different dishes, and so can shepherds pie base.
