The Pleasures of Cooking for One

If you enjoy reading cookbooks for the joy of reading cookbooks, this is a good one to curl up with. The photography is terrific as are the recipes. However, as a practical guide to cook for one it was lost on me. Granted shad roe with cream sauce was in the specials category, but really! I don't cook shad roe for more than one. I felt the idea behind the book was to be applauded. Cooking for one person is often no fun. Especially when you are use to cooking for a family and if you cook just for yourself you often wind up with a weeks worth of eating the same thing. The book is a great testimony you can cook for yourself and still make it an event and pleasurable. But the ingredients and items fixed are just down within my realm of reality - cooking for one or not. Great read, but not a practical cookbook.
