POST,. .JANUARY 1975 Some solutions to the cooking for two problem Whether you're a young couple • a middle-aged couple whose children have grown up or two friends sharing an apartment, Cooking for two poses certain problems. You both may have full-time jobs with limited time for meal preparation. In view of this; Food Advisory Services, Agriculture Canada have been studying how people cooking for two could prepare full course meals quickly without sacrificing good, nutrition. Although important, cost. was not a major consideration. It was observed that meals can easily enough be prepared in an hour if some weekend or evening pre- paration is done, such as baking or pre-portioning of meats. When cooking for two, planning your meals is very- important to clisure that food is purchased inthe quantity needed to avoid leftovers or waste. Unless you are big vegetable eaters,. -it might be preferable to buy frozen produce to eliminate the leftover problem. There is however, no advantage in buying small roasts. They tend to dry out and shrink more /than larger roasts when cooked. Instead, buy a larger roast and plan to freeze the rest for later use or serve it in a casserole. Leftover sliced beef is alWays delicious in sandwiches for lunches. When a longer preparation time is needed for a dish such as meat loaf or meatballs, buy a large amount. of ground meat and portion it into individual meat loaves, meat balls or hamburg patties. Freeze them in packages of two serving sizes. Baked goods also freeie quite well. Cut cakes and brownies in serving-size squares and freeze individually. If your baking time is at a premium, you can -always buy individual servings of brownies, muffins or donuts from a baker shop. Also freeze breads and buns if needed and use leftover fruits in fresh fruit salads. Cooking for two can be an enriching culinary experience.
