175 recipes made for one person, signed by the author. Joanie Zisk, the creator of One Dish Kitchen, has been developing single-serving recipes since 2012. This book brings 175 of them together in one place.

Cooking for one shouldn't mean a week of leftovers or a fridge full of ingredients going bad. Each recipe makes one satisfying serving with everyday ingredients. The book also shares tips for buying fresh food in single servings and wasting less.

It's for anyone who lives alone, cooked for a family for years and now cooks for one, or just wants a good meal for themselves. The recipes double easily when there are two at the table.

What's inside

  • 175 single-serving recipes: Each one is sized for one person, so less goes to waste.
  • Everyday ingredients: Common ingredients you can find at any grocery store.
  • Easy to follow: Simple steps for cooks of every skill level.
  • Tips for shopping small: How to buy single servings of fresh food and use up what you have.
  • Easy to double: Cooking for two? Double the ingredients.
  • Signed by Joanie: Every copy from our store is autographed by the author.

A thoughtful gift

A signed cookbook makes a personal gift for a friend who lives alone, a new graduate, or a parent with an empty nest. Some readers buy a second copy for a friend after they've cooked from their own.

Want the dishes too?

The Cooking for One Starter Bundle pairs a signed copy of the cookbook with the 5-inch square baking dish and two 10-ounce ramekins, at a bundle price.

It seems to me that when I buy a recipe book or even look at them

It seems to me that when I buy a recipe book or even look at them, serving for one or two, there are so many ingredients that are needed that I would not buy because the package is to big. I just need simply ingredients.

LOVE the soufflé and baking dishes, and delicious recipes

I really love my soufflé and other baking dishes I got in the vivid red color. They’re the perfect size for cooking individual servings and make it fun to cook! They’re durable and beautiful.
And I’ve already made four of the recipes from the original OneDishKitchen cookbook and they’ve all been absolutely delicious, too. Can’t wait to try many more!

Perfect Cooking for One Cookbook

I have only tried one recipe out of it so far, but I like the fact that the recipes are down to earth and not frufru like some cookbooks. Really simple and to the point.
