Cookbook Recommendations for the Reluctant Chef

I'm switching it up a bit tonight with some cookbook recommendations! Though I am an expert at devouring stories, I'm not quite an expert at making food that worthy of devouring. As a single person who lives alone, I've always felt like cooking entire recipes is a bit wasteful and not worth the energy. Instead, I've been relegating myself to soup, frozen meals, and bagged salads. It's time to change that, starting with some cookbook exploration. These are my two current favorites!

Half Baked Harvest is a great blog with plenty of free online recipes, but I personally love the HBH Super Simple Cookbook. It has a huge variety of types of meals (salads, soups, pasta, protein, dessert, bread, pizza, appetizers, cocktails, and MORE) and a lot of them are, surprisingly, actually super simple! Many don't require a ton of skill, rare ingredients, or time - all things I don't have a surplus of. An added bonus is that this is perfect for gifting or for planning your holiday meals!

I'm also starting to make my way through Cook As Your Are, which has recipes that are adaptable for the chef, including a section of recipes for folks with low energy levels. As a disabled cook, sections like this are super helpful!

Do you have a favorite cookbook that I should try?
