Cooking for ONE February 15, 2008
Amazon Reviewer

is definitely just as much fun!
'In `One is Fun!', Delia has brought her thorough, detailed and commonsense approach to the problems of shopping for, storing and preparing food for one. No longer will single cooks have to wrestle with dividing ordinary recipes for four (how do you cope with a quarter of an egg anyway?).
Here is a treasury of specially devised, ready-made recipes for one.............This imaginative collection will positively encourage you to get cooking.
It goes without saying that it is also a book for all Delia's other followers. It is simplicity itself to adapt these recipes for up to four people, making them a valuable addition to all those that have become family favourites throughout the country.'
224 high quality, shiny pages, split over 10 chapters:-
Solo Soups
Simply Eggs
Fun Fish
One Man's Meat...
Prime Pasta and Rice
The Lone Vegetarian
Singular Salads and Sauces
Vegetable Variations
Super Snacks
Happy Endings
sandwiched between conversion tables, an intro, equipment, ingredients, notes on healthy eating and an index.
Unfussy format, easy to read text, with a handful of full page, colour plates along with some black and white ones.
Each chapter opens with some relevant text written in the typical unpretentious `Delia' fashion, passing on, at times, the tips of other famous food writers, e.g. :-
'Fresh Root Ginger :
This I have used extensively in this book, as it has such a wonderfully pungent and fragrant aroma. Buy it in small quantities: it keeps well in a cool place, wrapped in cling-film, for about a week.
If you want to store it for longer, Elizabeth David in her book `Salts, Spices and Aromatics' recommends peeling it then storing it covered with sherry in a small screw top jar. I have used this method and it works like a dream for several months. I keep mine in the fridge and just grate off as and when I need it.'
The recipes are clearly laid out with an opening note, a list of ingredients and the method, along with any serving notes and additional relevant information.
