Cooking for One Tips

I’m Joanie, a chef with over 35 years of cooking experience, author of The Ultimate Cooking for One Cookbook, and creator of One Dish Kitchen. For the past 15 years, I’ve developed and tested 700+ single serving and small batch recipes. Every one is made from scratch and built for one from the start, so nothing goes to waste. I’m so glad you’re here.

The right dish makes it easier
