SIMPLY SOLO

If you're fed up trying to divide fluid ounces or figuring out what to do with tons of leftover food from conventional recipes meant for four people, you'll love our selection of meals for one.

Made with one in mind they're great far vegetarians who eat alone but still want tasty, interesting dishes that don't come in family portions.

You'll be surprised at how easy it is to cater for one without losing taste or creating waste. The image of a vegetarian diet being difficult and complicated is luckily a thing of the past. Images of bowls full of soaking pulses and stodgy rice satin the kitchen for days does not fit in with the modern accessible image of today's vegetarian diet. With the numbers of young people rejecting a meat based diet and converting to vegetarianism, catering for one has become an important factor in devising vegetarian menus and recipes, along with factors such as ease of preparation and storage life. Taking the arithmetic out of dinner-time means that the recipes featured can be enjoyed without subtracting anything. Although all of the recipes here are for one person they can easily be adapted if you want to use them for friends or family. Just multiply the ingredients by the number you're catering far and hey presto!: dinner for one can suddenly transform to tea for two. Now that's magic!
