What's the deal

 What is a lonely kettle and why should I care? 

Good question, from the German compound word that expresses the sadness for cooking for a single person.

But what sadness? What loneliness? Cooking for one is great. Make your food for your tastebuds and make it great.

I mean, what's the hard part? Dividing recipes for 4 or 6 to serve one? Easy. Half it and save the extra for later.
