Why I built this

I cook for one, and I got fed up with recipes that serve four. I’d divide everything by four, still make too much, and by Friday there’d be half a bag of spinach and a lonely pepper going soft in the fridge. So I wrote dinners for one person from the start and planned the weeks so the packs get used up: the spinach goes into three dinners instead of the bin. It’s grown to 456 recipes from 65 countries, and the recipes, planner and shopping list are free.

Supermarkets sell for families, so cooking for one usually means half a bag of spinach in the bin by Friday. Solo Supper has 456 dinners from 65 countries, each written for one person. Plan a week, get one shopping list that adds it all up, and use the “use it up” pages when something’s about to turn. The recipes, planner and shopping list are free. Pro plans the week around shared packs so nothing’s left over.
