    <body><![CDATA[This book was surprisingly entertaining.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was ... ok.  The premise was interesting and the illustrations were good, but it was kind of elitist in its approach to the things people eat when they eat alone.  For example, the author expressed disappointment in how many people said they eat cold cereal when they are alone, and seemed ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70957751">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book read like a list without any sort of synthesis or analysis beyond the rather sexist conclusion that men like meat and woman like salad.  I stopped about halfway through; none of the recipes I saw to that point inspired me, either.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Renowned vegetarian cookbook author Deborah Madison set out to learn what people chew on when there isn't anyone else around. The responses are surprising-and we aren't just talking take-out or leftovers. This is food-gone-wild in its most elemental form. <br/>  In a conversational tone, What We Eat When We Eat Alone explores the joys and sorrows of eating solo and gives a glimpse into the lives of everyday people and their relationships with food.<br/>  The book is illustrated with the delightful art of Patrick McFarlin, and each chapter ends with recipes for those who dine alone.]]>
