Haugh’s collection of recipes aims to demystify the secrets of great cooking, with many ‘tricks of the trade’ scattered across the recipes – this chef is all about practical, usable advice. ‘One Pot One Portion’ by Eleanor Wilkinson open image in gallery Eleanor Wilkinson’s cookbook isn’t just for cooking solo – it’s a love letter to simplicity and self-care With an estimated 8.3 million Britons living alone, it was only a matter of time that someone had the great idea of a recipe book just for those people. “There’s nothing better than a slow cooker, just stick all your ingredients in – or throw as I like to call it – and let the machine do all the work.” As with all his previous books, the recipes are calorie counted, if you want to keep an eye on your intake, and there’s even breakdowns for protein and carbs if you want to get really technical.
