The One & Done Cookbook
The One & Done Cookbook
87+ plant-based dinners for easy weeknight cooking. This is a cookbook for people who appreciate healthy and delicious food, and want to keep it simple.
This one-of-a-kind cookbook was dreamed up by Betsy Freeman who noticed how few of her friends like to cook. A passionate home chef who cooks to relax, she started asking why. Most told her they just don’t have the time, or the interest.
Betsy, a full-time product designer, is used to thinking about more seamless ways for people to interact with the world. She decided to apply that same thinking to cooking to see if she could make it more appealing for people too busy to cook.
The result is a collection of vegan and vegetarian dinners that are low-fuss, low-mess, and high in protein. She lists substitutions for harder-to-find ingredients, shares her favorite shortcuts, offers tips on how to assemble healthy meals without using a recipe, and much more.
To inspire home cooking, Betsy illustrates her book with splendidly colored drawings that offer guidance and highlight what’s special about a recipe.
The One & Done Cookbook includes:
48 one-pot vegetarian and vegan dinner recipes
13 basic recipes that can be served three different ways (as pastas, soups, grain bowls and more)
7 versatile sauces and salad dressings
6 easy steps to recipe-free cooking
16 time-saving cooking hacks
Betsy shares her prepping and cooking tips in a voice that is direct, wry, and understanding. With this book, she gets a chance to demonstrate that cooking is as relatable as she is. See book excerpt.

“I’ve learned that healthy cooking doesn’t have to be hard.”
I’m an avid reader of cookbooks, a relentless seeker of interesting flavor combinations, and a life-long appreciator of vegetables. I appreciate the transformative power of cooking and the way it can turn chopped vegetables dressed with little more than olive oil, salt, and pepper into an altered state of deliciousness… continue reading.
