5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you'd expect it to be Jan 25 2004
By kittyworld
Format:Paperback
I have lots of "quick and easy" cookbooks and "cooking for one" books but this is the one I used the most. These dishes are truly easy to make with fewer ingredients and simple procedures. I never thought that orange juice and a touch of butter (and nothing else) can create a wonderful sauce for fish. Better yet, it relies on fresh foods whenever possible, so you get true home-made cooking. I live alone but occasionally dine with my boyfriend so this book is perfect for me. I was never disappointed by the recipes even though I sometimes don't measure time or quantities carefully (of course, I am not a complete novice cook either). The book provides 2 sets of ingredients - one for the single diner and another for two. For a few recipes such as Honest Meatloaf (honestly a great basic meatloaf) you have ingredients for two and four servings respectively, as cooking for one would be rather impractical. However, you can easily save or freeze the leftover for another meal. Overall I highly recommend it to singles and couples who don't want much fuss in the kitchen. There are no photos other than the one on the cover, but then again, you will not get disappinted when the food you make doesn't look quite as good as those meticulously arranged by professional food stylist and retouched by creative photographers as in most cookbooks and magazines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fabulous!! Mar 13 2004
By Susan Weiss
Format:Paperback
For years I have been tired of using recipes sized for 4 or 8-11 people, then get so tired of the food I've cooked that I never want to make the recipe again.

This book is one of the best cookbooks I have ever invested in. It's a relief not to have to eat leftovers for the rest of the week and not to be afraid to go to the grocery store afraid I'll overspend.

Great tasting recipes you'll never tire of, as there is hardly any leftovers. They're all easy to make. I use this book every week and for entertaining.

My blood sugar has returned to normal (along with my budget)- and it's so concise and meals so tasty, that you want to include them over and over again. Now I eat much more fish and vegetables and have tried new and varied ways of cooking.

The pan-fried catfish and Maryland crabcakes are the bomb. I've learned to poach chicken. Can't wait to get to the ground turkey section.

You can't miss with this cookbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Cookbook for Smaller Quantities Sep 7 2009
By Erica
Format:Paperback
I had seen this cookbook on amazon for awhile, but was sort of leery of buying it since it doesn't have any pictures of the recipes, and I usually really like that feature in a cookbook. When I finally did decide to purchase it, I was not disappointed. I have made quite a few recipes from the book already, and have raved about them to everyone I know.

The recipes aren't overly difficult, and are made from food you actually have in your refrigerator - you don't have to run out and buy one or two items just to never use them again. The recipes are usually shown in either 1 or 2 servings or 2 or 4 servings (for things like soup, where it doesn't really make sense to just make 1 serving). The author also gives ideas for what to serve with a recipe, and for what to do with leftovers, etc. This is really handy since you don't have to do a lot of extra thinking about things.

I would definitely recommend this for anyone just getting out on their own, like university students, etc. I even like this cookbook so much that I am buying another copy for my sister. This cookbook is great!
