The Pleasures Of Cooking For One (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Divine, lovely, perfect. Should inspire everyone to take better care of themselves. Treat yourself like royalty whether you have a family or not. Favorite quote"I soon realized that the pleasure we shared together was something to honor. I found myself at the end of the day looking forward to cooking, making recipes that work for one, and then sitting down and savoring a good meal". Could very well change my life! I'm not sure who Judith Jones is cooking for, but it sure isn't me. Her penchent for ofal (gizzards, liver, etc) really turns me off. I know many people like it, but is that really what you want to cook at home alone? I was hoping for pared down dishes of standards and how to make many meals out of one. There is nothing like that in the book. I first added this to my list about a year ago and have since become vegetarian. There are NO vegetarian dishes in this book. Even the veggie sides are slathered in bacon or gizzards. No thank you.
