Book Reviews of Going Solo in the Kitchen
Book Review: My favorite cookbook!
Summary: 5 Stars
I could've sworn I reviewed this cookbook YEARS ago! This is the cookbook that made me realize a single girl deserves a nice, home-cooked meal and that it's okay to cook for one.
The recipes are well written and every one that I've tried has been delicious. The pasta on the front cover? Ummm yeah...addicting and ridiculously simple.
Most of the time I sub dried herbs because that's what I have. All you do is add enough for your taste...a little at a time.
I've recommended this book to other single cooks so many times that I've lost count. It really is my favorite cookbook.
Book Review: Great for solo cookers....
Summary: 5 Stars
The proportions in this book are right on for one person. I have quite a few favorites that I like to whip up that are quick and easy. The ingredient lists are not long and the ingredients are easy to find at the grocery store. The only draw back to this cookbook is there is not a calorie or exchange list. This is on my counter top by the stove all the time. This is a great gift for a newly college graduate or for a busy work person.Book Review: "It's the perfect book for a single person" WITH ZERO COOKING SKILLS

Just because you live solo doesn't mean you don't know how to cook or follow recipes. These recipes are VERY basic, like the kind you'd find on the back of a Betty Crocker package. I was looking for tasty recipes without having to eat leftovers of the same thing for days. Instead, I got a book of basic recipes I wouldn't even need a cookbook for. If your idea of a meatlof is ground beef, saltines, and an egg.. this book is for you.Book Review: Good book but...
Summary: 3 Stars
While I like that she uses alot of fresh ingredients, I would have greatly appreciated it if the receipes included the dried/canned equivalent. I don't necessarily have the time to go out and buy fresh sage. I also would've liked pictures to go with the receipes, so I had more of an idea of what I was getting into.
Still, it's nice to have a cook book that gives such a variety of receipes for the single cook.
Book Review: clear simple adaptable
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is really easy to use. The ideas are clever and made for the single or couple. The recipes are not simply cut in half, such as very similar books do. They are tailored so that the are actually usable. With great ideas of meals to make with the leftovers that are significantly different from the original. So that it does not seem like you are eating the same dish over and over again for the entire week.
