I have cooked for 1200 people. I teach thousands of people how to cook each year. Yet, when I am in my humble abode, there is just two of us.
Many people find that it is difficult to cook for one or two.
On the contrary there are many benefits for cooking for a smaller crowd. Cooking for one or two should never be an excuse for serving monotonous, poorly balanced meals. By shopping wisely, making the best use of the freezer and smart menu planning, cooking for one or two can be a pleasure. While it is true that most package sizes are more than you need for one or two people, with careful menu planning, you don't have to hunt for smaller sizes. In fact, smaller sized packages often cost more anyway.
