One Pot, One Plan

ONE POT, ONE PLAN — Simple Cooking for Tired Weeknights

Nobody ever abandoned a dinner because the recipe was too easy.

They abandoned it because it wanted four pans, a food processor, and a colander they'd have to wash at half past nine on a Tuesday.

The cooking was never the problem. The aftermath was.

So this planner has exactly one rule: one pot, one pan, one tray. Everything goes in. Very little comes out. And what's left at the end is a single thing to wash.

WHAT'S INSIDE — 72 hyperlinked pages in four parts

PART ONE · THE METHOD

• The Six Shapes — traybake, one-pot pasta, soup, stew, fried rice, frittata. Not recipes: templates. Learn six and you can cook from almost any cupboard without opening a book.
• Effort Levels 1–3 — every dinner is scored. 1 = assembling. 2 = chopping. 3 = actually cooking.
• Choose Your Vessel (you need three pans, not eleven)
• The Tired Test & Ten-Minute Dinners
• The One-Pot Bank — 40 dinners, every one made in a single vessel

PART TWO · THE WEEK

• How Tired Will I Be? — plan for the week you'll actually have
• 12 undated weekly plans, each night rated by effort so you never schedule a hard meal for a hard day
• The Blank Night — built into every single week, on purpose
• Sunday Setup (twenty minutes) & Week in Review

PART THREE · THE SHOP

• The One-Pot Pantry — the bases and the lifters
• Shortcut Ingredients — pre-chopped veg, tinned pulses, jarred garlic. None of it is cheating. It's simply how tired people cook well.
• 8 grocery lists, fridge & freezer, food spend tracker

PART FOUR · THE COOKING

• 14 one-pot recipe cards with a hyperlinked index, each with a "things to wash up afterwards" line
• Flavour Without Fuss — six habits that make simple food taste like it took hours
• Cook Once, Eat Twice
• The Washing-Up Rules — including the most important one: if you dread the pan, you will not cook. Give the pan away.
• Dinners for Bad Days — five ingredients or fewer, or no cooking at all
