Cooking for Two...

Hello,

Generally you can divide the recipe by the number that it serves and then times that by two.

Or if it’s a recipe for four, divide it by two or a recipe for six, divide it by three and so on.

Sometimes it might be easier to follow the recipe for four and then freeze some for another day.

For cooking times it depends on the recipe. A beef casserole will take the same time to cook whether it’s for two or ten but if it is only for two you do need to be careful that the liquid doesn’t evaporate during cooking as it could dry our.

We have some collections for two people here…
