Wilkinson is a content creator and recipe developer with a large following, whose TikTok series “One Pot, One Portion” led to this cookbook. A welcome addition to the slim ranks of books for solo cooks, this volume is sure to please those who cook for one every day or on occasion. Recipes are collected in four sections: “Comfort,” showcasing warming dishes such as risotto carbonara; “Fresh,” featuring vibrant colors and seasonal options; “Simple,” celebrating quick and easy dishes; “Special,” dishes that take a little longer, including lobster spaghetti with lemon and tomatoes; and “Sweet,” allowing cooks to feed their sweet tooth with desserts such as chocolate pot. A welcome element is Wilkinson’s advice to use what is leftover from one recipe for another, recognizing that ingredients are rarely sold in single portions. Each recipe is highlighted by a gorgeous photograph that will inspire readers.
VERDICT An often-overlooked need gets a gorgeous entry that will inspire solo cooks to make memorable dishes.
