My New Favourite Cookbook, Dec 31 2011
This review is from: Cooking for One: A Seasonal Guide to the Pleasure of Preparing Delicious Meals for Yourself (Paperback)
I love this cookbook! Every recipe I've made so far has turned out beautifully. I feel like I'm spoiling myself eating such wonderful food, but its all very healthy and nutritious. The flavour combinations are interesting yet well-balanced. I especially appreciate the comments and suggestions from the authors included with each recipe.
My favourites include:
* Stracciatella
* Grilled Pancetta-wrapped Shrimp with Meyer Lemon Relish
* Middle Eastern Carrots
* Chicken with Apples and Prunes
* Buffalo Salisbury Steak
* Fried Shallots
* Baked Apple with Oatmeal Crunch.
I feel like this cookbook has really helped to make me a better cook. I bought it hoping to find some great recipes for one, without having to eat leftovers for a week, or get out a calculator and try to figure out how to decrease a recipe so that it only makes one or two servings. It's a little ironic that I am still doing the math, only now I'm doubling recipes so that I can serve these fabulous meals to family and friends.
I hope these two are already working on their next cookbook!
