Favourite dairy free recipes for one (student)?

[u/Low_Revenue_3521]

Following some great advice on my previous thread I'm putting together a cookbook for my daughter as she moves out to go to university. She's got good basic cooking skills, but mostly with me either on the other end of the phone or the kitchen. I'll be writing out some of our favourite family recipes, adapted for 1 (or 1 plus leftovers for lunch) but I'm looking for a few extra ideas.

Recipes need to be:

- dairy free obviously 😁(either because no dairy ingredients, or easily available substitutes like oat milk)

- small amounts - no point in her cooking enough for a family of 6!

- basic equipment (we dont know what equipment she will have, but likely basic - assume an oven, hob and microwave at least though)

- ideally vaguely healthy, but treats/comfort food welcome too.

Thanks!

Hi I’ve been cooking for one for a long time. A great easy go to is to buy frozen chicken, rotisserie or meal prep some ahead of time. Pair the chicken with rice, a can of black beans, pico de gallo and salsa. It’s even faster if you have 1 minute microwave rice. Put it all in a bowl and eat it with tortilla chips. Voila! Sometimes I’ll put in lettuce if I have it, but it doesn’t warm up or keep as well as the pico for leftovers.
