Welcome to this, the first posting to the new ‘Bachelor’s guide to cooking without Shan’.
As i can attest, the methods, requirements for successfull batchelor cuisuine is a deeply under-researched aspect of gastronomy. Indeed, if anything the cuisine of the ‘unloved’ remains a deep dark secret that few even deign to acknowledge.

You see, the essential element, is calorific value per unit of currency. Much like dog food, the fur is by far more important than the flavour. Its sad, but we live in a superficial world.
And yet, there is life beoynd the nth shaan packet. There is light at the end of this mono-sodiumized tunnel, and that is the cooking yoursel.
So hold my hand, come with me as we take to these journeys, taking the path less tread and (hopefully) enjoying it.
Cheers my brothers in arms..
