Description

From the award-winning food editor of The Washington Post comes a cookbook aimed at the food-loving single. 
Joe Yonan brings together more than 100 inventive, easy-to-make, and globally inspired recipes celebrating solo eating. Dishes like Mushroom and Green Garlic Frittata, Catfish Tacos with Chipotle Slaw, and Smoked Trout, Potato, and Fennel Pizza will add excitement to any repertoire and forever dispel the notion that single life means starving, settling for take-out, or facing a fridge full of monotonous leftovers. Yonan also includes shopping and storage tips for the single-chef household, along with creative ideas for making use of extra ingredients. Serve Yourself makes cooking for one a deeply satisfying, approachable pleasure. And with such delectable meals, your solo status could be threatened if you’re forced to share with others!

It is necessary to understand ourselves better--necessary to meditate, to reflect, to be creative, and to answer our emails.

        March 15, 2011
        Cooking for one has always been a daunting task. Either one buys processed foods and reheats them, or one cooks up a dish that then lasts a week of dinners. Yonan offers recipes that serve just one and that are certain to please the most demanding gourmet. A single Cornish hen gets a sauce of dried cherries and hazelnuts. Yonan devises a full chapter of recipes for tacos, even suggesting exerting the effort to make ones own taco shells from scratch rather than putting up with mass-produced ones. A single poblano pepper serves to hold a vegetarian filling of Swiss chard and black beans. Leftover beans recycle into a peasants bowl of brown rice and cheese. Yonan does not shortchange the single diners sweet tooth. His inventive desserts include tapioca pudding tricked out with a burnt sugar crust fragrant with cardamom. Almond butter makes a base for some intriguing no-bake oatmeal cookies.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
