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.
