Compact Cooking: Big Flavor from Small Kitchens

Popular TikTok creator and Dietician Jenna Hunter brings the ideal cookbook for students, young people navigating life in their first apartment, people on the go, and those on a budget.

Compact Cooking shows how inexpensive small kitchen appliances can save huge amounts of time and effort while producing yummy and nutritious food.

Air fryers, hotplates, toaster ovens, slow cookers, and more can be purchased at any store, including Target and Walmart. They’re great for use in dorms, apartments, and tiny kitchens and can even be taken camping and tailgating. Jenna makes efficient use of these handy appliances while demonstrating that they can be used for much more than warming up leftover pizza! Her recipes focus on healthy ingredients that are easy to source and make use of repeat ingredients so that nothing goes to waste. The recipes are flexible, too, allowing you to use the tools and appliances you have on hand.

Jenna knows that even though many of us are pressed for time and/or lack cooking skills, we still want to nourish our bodies. Her recipes utilize lots of plant foods and deliver ample protein for quick energy without weighing you down with excessive carbs. The book includes recipes for fueling workouts, recovering after a night on the town, snacking on the go, and unwinding on lazy Sundays, plus creative ideas for meal prepping and making use of leftovers.

If you’ve ever found yourself strapped for time or kitchen space or constrained by your budget or your limited cooking skills, Compact Cooking will save the day!
