Introduction:
Cooking for One Does Not Mean Boring — Thermomix and Cookidoo Make Solo Dining Delicious
Cooking for one is often seen as a chore, leading many single people to rely on ready meals and takeaways. But Thermomix TM7 changes that equation completely. With Cookidoo's guided cooking, you can prepare restaurant-quality meals for one or two in the same time it takes to microwave a ready meal, and with far better nutrition and flavour.
The key is choosing recipes that scale well for smaller portions, or embracing batch cooking so you cook once and eat brilliantly all week. In our experience advising Thermomix owners across the UK, single professionals and empty-nesters are some of our happiest customers because the Thermomix eliminates the motivation barrier that makes cooking for one feel pointless. Every recipe below links directly to Cookidoo and works perfectly for one or two people.

Use the simmering basket: steam a single portion of fish or vegetables while cooking something else below

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Thermomix worth it for just one person?
Absolutely. In fact, single people often get the most value from Thermomix because it eliminates the demotivation of cooking for one. You eat better, waste less food, and spend less on takeaways and ready meals. Many of our single customers tell us it paid for itself within months.
Can I halve Cookidoo recipes?
Most recipes scale down well. Cookidoo allows you to adjust portion sizes on some recipes. For others, cooking the full recipe and freezing the rest is often the most efficient approach.
What about food waste when cooking for one?
Thermomix actually reduces food waste. You buy exactly what you need, and batch cooking means leftovers are portioned and frozen rather than forgotten at the back of the fridge.
You Deserve Great Meals — Even When Cooking for One
Living alone is no reason to settle for bland food. Thermomix TM7 and Cookidoo make it just as rewarding to cook for one as for a dinner party. From three-course multilevel meals for two to quick weeknight suppers, you will eat better than ever.
