Review Quotes: "Cooking for one is hard, but registered dietitian Lauren O'Connor has simplified and 'healthified' this tough task! This cookbook for one is one of the best I've seen. I'm impressed with Lauren's easy explanations of how eating healthy is possible and fun when cooking for yourself. Her tips, tricks, and guidelines of planning healthy meals, minimizing food waste, and providing an easy-to-follow weeklong menu are exactly what you need to feel confident and compelled to prepare meals from scratch--reducing reliance on TV dinners, takeout, or frozen pizza! The recipes are delicious and easy to prepare while using basic ingredients. As a registered dietitian working with patients who live alone or are empty-nesters, I plan on highly recommending this cookbook for them. It's a cookbook they'll use over and over again." --Cheryl Mussatto, MS, RD, LD, clinical dietitian and author of The Nourished Brain: The Latest Science on Food's Power for Protecting the Brain From Alzheimer's and Dementia, www.eatwelltobewellrd.com
