Welcome to the solo Spoon

Hi, I’m Monica, solo cook and the creator behind The Solo Spoon. I started this blog because cooking for one felt more complicated than it needed to be: too much food, ingredients going to waste, and the same meal three nights in a row.

Here you’ll find single serve and small batch recipes built around variety, not repetition. The idea is simple: one grocery run should give you a week of completely different meals, not a week of the same leftovers reheated.
