COOK FOR TWO

GET THE MEMBERSHIP

Dinner for two. Full of flavor. Without stress, waste or overbuying.
Who it’s for: Cooking for a small household? Perfect. Couples, empty nesters and those transitioning to empty nesters (the “teen drops in on Tuesdays” crowd), and for sure some who cook for two who are also solo-some-nights.

Stores push bulk. Food expires. Nobody taught you to cook small. Cook for Two flips the script with right-sized recipes (serve 2), shop-smart + store-smart guides, Solo Night notes for saving or remixing the extra serving, and a supportive community so you actually use what you buy. Led by Christine Pittman, you’ll transform the way you see cooking for two, turn tonight’s ingredients into fresh 20–30 minute dinners, enjoy freedom from overbuying, and stop making leftovers (unless you want them!).

What’s stacked against small-household cooks

  • Recipes assume families. Halving recipes can produce unpredictable results.
  • Grocery math isn’t on your side. “Buy more, save more” = overbuying for one or two.
  • Food expires. Smaller households don’t always go through what’s in the fridge before it goes bad.
  • No one taught us this version of cooking. We default to family-sized, bulk habits.
  • Alternatives exist … but aren’t obvious. Smaller packs, counters, storage hacks, and better methods are hidden in plain sight.

How Cook for Two flips it

  • Right-sized recipes, not halved guesses. Built for two from the start.
  • Freedom from overbuying. Service counters, loose produce, and smart swaps … shop only for what you’ll use.
  • Beat the expiry. Rethink your fridge, freeze-smart guides, planned ingredient remixes.
  • Micro lessons = skills for how you live now. Bite-size videos + cheat sheets you can apply tonight.
  • Know the alternatives. Small-batch tools, pantry picks, and methods that work better for two.
  • Solo Night options. Clear notes on how to save, freeze, or remix the second serving, without living on repeats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cook for one some nights?

Yes. Recipes serve two. Each recipe includes a Solo Night note with save/freeze/remix suggestions so the second serving doesn’t go to waste.

Do I need special equipment?

Nope. We’ll show low-effort alternatives (plus optional small-batch tools).

What if I’m busy?

Most dinners land in 20–30 minutes; look for one-pan labels.
Lessons within the course are just a few minute each, with a module completed in about 30 minutes.

Will I have to meal prep?

Not at all. There is no rigid prep. Cook for Two does teach Meal Planning Lite plus planned remixes.

Is the community overwhelming?

Not at all! It’s prompt-driven, searchable, friendly. Dip in, get help, go cook.
