I love cooking by ReallyEvilCanine (4.00 / 1) #10 Wed Sep 12, 2007 at 10:53:51 AM EST

Cooking for one sucks though. Cooking for 4-10 is a breeze. I was just roped into cooking Xmas dinner in Belgium (should the country remain intact) for around 20 last night. I wonder what they'll do if I cook 'em Chinese.

Cooking for one is difficult. So many dishes are impossible to scale down, and don't freeze well.

curry by R343L (2.00 / 0) #16 Wed Sep 12, 2007 at 05:08:32 PM EST

I have been doing indian curries of various varieties for the last couple weeks. They reheat well. They're tasty. Some are even tastier the next day.

But you're right it's a pain to cook for just oen, unless you plan to have leftovers.

Curries, stews, soups freeze well. by wiredog (2.00 / 0) #17 Wed Sep 12, 2007 at 05:21:10 PM EST

Ribs (and other cooked meats) freeze well once, after that the meat gets tough. Most veggie dishes don't freeze well at all.

what works? by Merekat (2.00 / 0) #21 Thu Sep 13, 2007 at 04:05:28 AM EST

Curry, one pot meals, thick soups, risotto, stir fry (actually works better for one), things involving escalopes of meat or grilled fish. About the only thing seriously excluded imo is full roasts.
