CONTENTS
FOREWORD
Tiny homes have inspired people across the globe to make a huge change and live smaller.
As more and more people turn to this way of life, they need practical advice on every aspect of tiny living. While tiny living has many advantages, it is not without its challenges. The biggest challenge is how to pack your rich and complex life into a small space. Tiny homes often range from 150 to 400 square feet for a single person or coupledramatically smaller than todays average home of 2,600 square feet. So it makes sense that in such small spaces you tend to take a closer look at how you live your life. In Tiny House Cooking you will learn how to meet your needs when it comes to cooking delicious meals for yourself, your family, and your friends in a small space.
Just because you have a small space to prepare your meals doesnt mean you have to sacrifice cooking delicious meals. In tiny homes you learn to maximize the space you have, and this couldnt be truer than in the kitchen. In an age where there is a kitchen gadget for just about every task, this book talks about getting back to the basics of cooking and life. Cooking food is an essential part of daily life. Because of this fact, you need to think critically about how you can meet this need effectively in as small a space as possible. In a tiny house, square footage is at a premium and you must consider how you allocate it very carefully.
Tiny living is a life of intention and deliberate choices. You are choosing to build the right life for you. You have taken a step back to consider every aspect of your life and decided on an alternative course so you can build the life you want to liveone where you are empowered to live, work, and spend your free time as you see fit. In planning your journey to tiny living, you must consider many facets of your new life, including how you cook a simple and delicious meal, and this book will show you the most efficient and easy ways to do it. Ryan Mitchell
INTRODUCTION
If you live in a tiny house or are thinking of buying one, then you know that a tiny house provides everything you need to use less, save money, and simplify life down to the things that truly matter. But while tiny house living is replete with benefits, it is not without its challengesone of which is the kitchen.
Many people have concerns about cooking in a tiny kitchen, but the reality is, with proper preparation and planning, you can cook meals that are fun and easy to make for you, your partner, and even guests! Tiny House Cooking provides you with more than 175 recipes that can all be cooked in a small-scale kitchen. These recipes are specifically designed with tiny house living in mind. For example: The recipes are made to serve two people so you wont have waste or hard-to-store leftovers. (Plus, you can easy double the recipes if you are having guests.) All the recipes are designed to be cooked on a two-burner cooktop so there is no need for other appliances, like ovens, toaster ovens, or microwaves, that often take up valuable space in your kitchen. The recipes use very few pots and pans because in a tiny house you need to make the most of your kitchen space! These recipes use only fresh and canned foods because freezer space is often at a minimum. With these items in mind, in this book youll find tasty recipes for every meal, including Creamy Goat Cheese Scramble, Smoked Turkey and Wild Rice Soup, Curry and Coconut Steamed Mussels, Cuban Pork Chops, and even desserts like No-Bake Apple Cookies, and Chocolate Raspberry Pie.
You dont have to sacrifice when it comes to cooking in your tiny house kitchen; in fact, there is no need for your mealtimes to change dramatically at all. With a little forethought and some careful prep, youll be enjoying delicious and satisfying meals from your kitchen, no matter what its size!
