About Anna Heininger

I love to read-and then modify-recipes, collect old cookbooks, and wing it at the kitchen counter. Mostly, I love to make food that I feel good about cooking, and meals that make people smile.

Cooking for one.

From Anna Heininger — Blog by
November 2, 2011

I am often less inclined to cook just for me.

Nowadays there are certainly finer options in terms of prepared foods, and there’s always take-out(seriously, my fingers just auto-piloted toward “take pit...”).

Cooking for friends and loved ones gives a sense of purpose I guess, but who am I kidding, I also long for the approval;I like hearing the “you’re so great at this” piece of the pie.

It’s a great creative outlet, juicy with flavor, accomplishment, and again,
approval.

How do I cook for just me in an equally fulfilling manner?
