Cooking for Two: More Than 200 Foolproof Recipes for Weeknights and Special Occasions
Dinner for 2-perfected
Cooking for two doesn't have to mean simple pasta dishes or tired leftovers. It can be scaled down lasagnas and even desserts (birthday cake for two, anyone?).
In this first title in a new series from America's Test Kitchen, we leave no cooking-for-two technique unturned. Tired of having a big container of stock going to waste in your fridge? We sol

This book is focused on an interesting concept: A lot of recipes are for 4 or more people. What about those two person households? One cannot always just halve ingredients to produce a 2 person rather than a 4 person recipe. This book hopes to address that issue. With my son likely to leave in the near future (he'll graduate from college soon), creating his own life path, it will be basically 2 person dishes for me to prepare in the future, so this book has some value for me.

I love the Test Kitchen folks, and I found a few ideas in here that were mentally filed for future reference, but overall, it wasn't one that worked for me. I just didn't really feel the need to trim down what I'm cooking to two portions. I'm of the variety of folks who like to cook a cassarole and eat it all week. Boring, I know...
The good news... in some cases here, I recall a series of recipes...make the roast chicken for tuesday, then a chicken dish from the roast chi...more
My favorites of the Cooking for Two books. Most recipes are a very hearty two servings. With care it should be possible to get three servings.
I like the America Test Kitchen cookbooks. Definitely would recommend. This one is great because it is recipes cut down to size!
I would like to use this book more often, but it needs more pictures.
I often have trouble scaling down recipes when I don't want to have left overs - this book has perfectly portioned recipes for two people and they are amazingly easy to make yet totally delicious I like that America's Test Kitchen puts a lot of effort into determining the exact best way to make something and then gives you reasons for everything that they've chosen to do (and tell you what didn't work). I've made two recipes from this and my husband is still asking for more!
Enjoyable, would recommend for those living by themselves.
