With one-pot one-portion versions of classics like Lasagne, Beef Wellington and Apple Crumble, as well as fresh, flavourful dishes like Ginger Chicken Rice Bowl and Peanut Noodle Salad this is food tailored to suit your every mood. And with recipes paired to help you make use of leftover ingredients, this is truly low-waste, low-effort cooking.

Whether you live alone, or just find yourself cooking for one, this is easy, effortless food that will have you eating well whatever your mood.

About the author

Eleanor Wilkinson

Eleanor is 27-year-old content creator and recipe developer from East Yorkshire. Her love of food and cooking inspired her to start sharing recipes on social media; her One Pot, One Portion series – recipes for people who cook, eat or live alone, and are tired of washing up – have garnered millions of views on TikTok and a community of nearly 650K people on Instagram. In a culinary landscape that only caters for couples, families, or larger groups, Eleanor wanted to provide something for everyone left out. She believes that cooking for yourself is a huge act of self-care; her aim is to bring the joy and excitement back to the kitchen, showing solo cooks that they don’t have to choose between eating leftovers for three days straight or sticking to soup! Eleanor previously worked in the non-profit sector and trained at the prestigious Ballymaloe cookery school in Cork.
