Most books on cooking for one will tell you to make large meals on the weekends and freeze them. Although there's nothing wrong with that, most singletons aren't fond of spending hours in the kitchen and defrosting meals that don't retain their freshness. Based on knowledge from the world's leading experts, if a meal is not flash-frozen or vacuum-sealed, ice crystals form and damage the flavor. The longer food sits, it blends in different ways, and flavors can change. Meal planning experts will tell single cooks to buy in bulk and layout a menu plan for the week. My perspective is the opposite. Throw out your Costco club card and cook fresh ingredients for one and your palate will thank you. Do your part and help eliminate food waste, which is a major concern in America. Every year, approximately 30-40% of the food supply is wasted, according to the USDA.
