Serve Yourself

fullDescription

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!

   • content: "Joe Yonan's written a book of recipes so electric and stimulating anyone who co-habitates with a loved one will seriously consider a trial separation just to eat this food the way it was intended to be eaten."
3. • premium: False
   • source: Jose Andrés, Chef, restaurateur and author of Made in Spain
   • content: "Joe Yonan's book Serve Yourself is proof that good things can come in small packages or, in this case, in single servings. Full of delicious and sophisticated recipes, solo diners who love food and cooking will no longer be shortchanged at the table thanks to Joe's book."

   • source: Pam Anderson, USA Weekend food columnist, blogger, and author of Perfect One-Dish Dinners

   • source: Lidia Bastianich, restaurateur and author of Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy
   • content: "In the course of our busy lives, time spent with one's self is precious. It is necessary to understand ourselves better--necessary to meditate, to reflect, to be creative, and to answer our emails. Eating solo is one of those special moments in our lives that we need to celebrate, to embrace, and certainly Joe Yonan's cookbook Serve Yourself has captured that very moment with delicious recipes and tips on how to make it happen."

   • source: David Lebovitz, author of Ready for Dessert and The Sweet Life in Paris
   • content: "Eating by yourself is one of life's great pleasures. Joe Yonan also proves that great food for one can be fast, simple, and delicious. So pour yourself a glass of wine, fire up the oven for a crisp, hot cheese and fig pizza, or stuff a few tacos with slow-roasted Mexican pork. And the best part?--you don't have to share!"

     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.)
