Book Reviews of Cooking for Two: 2010
Book Review: Absolutely outstanding cookbook!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an avid lover of Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country. But I am also a single guy, meaning I hardly ever find myself in a position where I need to cook meals capable of feeding 6-8 people. Low and behold, my favorite company in the world (America's Test Kitchen is part of the above) also saw a need for us without a large family.
This book does more than just cut the great recipes down that you would normally find on the website. This is a collection, completely re-engineered by the Test Kitchen to make a phenomenal dish for you plus one. It still carries the air that you may already be familiar with as well -- explanations of WHY you are doing things; addressing issues when recipes are cut down -- if you are an avid fan of the brand. Similarly, you can always count on the recipes in here being absolutely bulletproof. Some of the best meals I have ever made, or eaten for that matter, have come from this cookbook and/or brand.
But it just doesn't stop there. It addresses one of my major complaints about cooking smaller meals: often, you are left with ingredients that are slightly obscure and have no idea what to do with them. But they've even thought of that. At the beginning of the book (and often after recipes), you will find recipes and a cross-reference guide on what to do with that 1/2 an onion left over from last night's dinner.
I have no connection to the brand, mind you. I am just an avid fan. I recommend this cookbook to anyone that it could possibly apply to. If you don't have a small army to feed, are tired of wasting food, and want one of the best cookbooks money can buy, purchase this TODAY!
Summary of Cooking for Two: 2010
America's Table sets the 2010 Table for Two in this popular annual cookbook. Scaling back recipes that serve 8 or more to serve 2 doesn't always mean simple division. It can mean adjusting spices in various ways, using different pans and utensils, and utilizing ingredients in smarter, more cost effective ways.The test cooks at America's Test Kitchen take our best recipes from throughout the year and scale them back for two.
