Easy Recipes for One

We have included this Easy Recipes for One section because we understand the difficulties in catering for just one vegetarian or vegan. A few of these recipes are repeated, with larger ingredient quantities, in other sections. Equally, a number of the recipes in other sections can be adapted for one. Another way to tackle the 'catering for one' problem is to freeze extra portions. Alternatively, of course, caterers can offer a vegetarian option to everyone: many meat eaters love to sample healthy and nutritious veggie food from time to time.

    This meat-free Shepherd’s Pie has a tasty topping of mash with mustard and chilli sauce. If you prefer, it’s fine to keep it plain.

    More comfort food, this is ideal for an autumn evening. You’ll need two small ovenproof pie dishes (about 350ml capacity each). Use a vegetable stock cube to make the stock.

    Time to cook: 30 mins
    Dietary requirements: Dairy-free, Egg-free, Gluten-free, Halal, Kosher, Vegan
    It’s possible to have comforting macaroni cheese without dairy products. The key ingredient here is nutritional yeast, which has an amazing cheesy flavour and is rich in B vitamins.

    Time to prepare: 15 mins
    Time to cook: 1 hr
    Dietary requirements: Halal, Kosher, Vegan
    Sweet potatoes make a nice change from the usual spuds. Seasoning the skins is a good trick to make them crisp and tasty.

    Time to cook: 20 mins
    Dietary requirements: Dairy-free, Egg-free, Halal, Kosher, Vegan
    Black sesame seeds have a lovely crunch and they’re rich in calcium, but it’s fine to leave them out or use white sesame seeds in this recipe.
