The Fifteen-Minute Single Gourmet
by Paulette Mitchell
(the book) shows how to shop fast and buy small amounts, then turn fresh ingredients into dishes rarely enjoyed when eating solo chez-vous. Mitchell makes a good case for cooking from scratch, asserting that it's healthier for both body and soul. She then helps you keep kitchen time to a minimum. You really can whip up her Tandoori Chicken, Sole with Currant-Almond Sauce, Zesty Black Bean Soup and 97 other varied dishes in about 15 minutes--and enjoy the results. To keep your larder lean, Mitchell suggests lots of variations for dishes. They handily help you use up ingredients you can't buy in single-serve sizes. There are also loads of tips that help inexperienced cooks and interest those who are more at ease in the kitchen.
Synopsis
Provides single-serving recipes for pasta, vegetables, fish, shellfish, chicken, soups, salads, side dishes, and desserts.

My absolute favorite cookbooks of all time are the Betty Crocker Cookbooks. Y'know, the ones our grandmothers swore by :) I love the 1950 and 1956 books. They're so nostalgic!!!! They were published well before most mixes hit the market, certainly before microwave ovens, so it's scratch cooking at its finest. But very easy to follow!! I learned to cook from Betty Crocker cookbooks growing up, and to this day use most of the same recipes and techniques I found in there, and Eddy and my kids say I'm an awesome cook and a master at baking.....if you can get your hands on a betty crocker 50's era picture cookbook, do it! They sell 'em on Ebay a lot!!!!
