TWO

Cooking For Two

It is fun and easy to cook for a crowd, you have to make sure to have plenty of everything.  It is better to have leftovers than it is not enough.

How about cooking just for two,  It is not very easy, but it can be done, as long as you know what you want to do.  By saying that you can cook for two accurately if you have the ingredients and if not, you may have to improvise. 

Beautiful Bundles of ricotta pies for two.  What you need for the ricotta bundles is pastry; filo or spring rolls wrapper, fresh ricotta, herbs and eggs.  Anything that you wish to add it could be sun-dried tomato, spinach and other cheeses, such as Parmesan and Cheddar for extra flavour.

Make the best of the day if you decided to stay in. Happy baking, and happy eating. It is enriching to have a meal of your own cooking.  Cooking for two when the ingredients are readily available at any one's pantry is fun. 

To serve the savoury scrolls

I have decided to cook just a pair of everything, it worked.  However you may have to cook every day, that is the downfall.  For busy people, it is rather hard, but you could do it just once in a while.  It is a form of a treat to have fresh food from your kitchen.  Not too much mess, no left over, and the refrigerator is spotless.

I am sharing an easy recipe of savoury scrolls which you can give a go.

The savoury scroll is so delicious, it does not need butter to serve.  I enjoyed it merely by dipping in herb oil and have fresh herbs aside.
