The honest math
Nobody adds up what "I don't know what to cook" really costs.
The scramble
- Takeout, twice a week$25–40 / night
- Meal-kit boxes$9–13 / box
- Jarred salsa, store sauces$5, never quite right
- Rotisserie chicken, half wasted$9, half in the bin
- Groceries with no planwasted weekly
The Nana Rosa way
- Rice, beans, masa — the basepennies a serving
- One chicken, plannedthree dinners
- Salsas from scratcha few cents a jar
- One list, one shop, one weeknothing wasted
- Knowing exactly howthis book
Your numbers will differ. The point won't: one skipped takeout order pays for the whole book.

Meet Nana Rosa
I'm Rosa. I was born in Morelia, Michoacán, in a house where the comal was hot before anyone was awake. My mother never wrote a recipe down — she'd say ven, acércate, come closer, this little step matters. I've been feeding people for more than forty years now: my own six, the neighbours, the church hall on Sundays, and lately a whole lot of you through the channel.
When my granddaughter moved away she called me every week asking "how much salt, Nana?" — and I realised nobody had ever written it down for her. So I did. Two years at this stove, weighing what I'd always done by hand, until every dish in this book could be cooked by someone standing alone in a kitchen with no one to ask.

Is this a physical book?+
No — it's a PDF you download instantly after purchase. It reads perfectly on a phone, tablet, laptop or e-reader, and you can print any page you want at home.
Do I need an account or an app?+
No account, no password, no app. You buy it, you get an email with the download link, it's yours forever.
I already bought the Recipes book — do I pay full price for the others?+
No. If you're one of Rosa's existing readers, check your email — you have a loyalty price on the Kitchen Laws waiting for you.
Are the measurements in cups or grams?+
Both. Every recipe gives US volume and metric weight side by side, so it works whichever way you were taught.
What makes this different from a free recipe blog?+
A blog gives you the recipe. This gives you the reason under every step — why the rice has to rattle before the broth goes in, why the sauce has to fry before it hits the pot — so when something's slightly different in your kitchen, you know how to adjust instead of guessing.
Is Cooking Alone only for seniors?+
It's built for anyone cooking for one or two people who wants real food without buying in bulk or wasting half of everything. The title says senior kitchen because that's who asked for it most, but the arithmetic works for a college student's studio apartment just as well.
