Everything you’d expect it to be, Jan 25 2004
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.

Absolutely Fabulous!!, Mar 13 2004
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.
