1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Only Delia Smith could advise the uninitiated in such a comprehensive way. Simple recipes, ideal methods of shopping depending on living style, what cookware to buy, what staples to have in your cupboards, she has it all.
A must for students and young people striking out alone for the first time. The recipes continue to be of use when your life changes. Quite a gem of a book, I don't think any cook has tried to cater for this group, before or since.

Don't be scared by the cover! 5 out of 5 stars.
22 of 23 people found this review helpful.

After trying the unbelievably bland "Healthy Cooking for Two" and so many other "cooking for two" cookbooks (many on which were written in the 80's) and being thoroughly dissapointed, I cam across this gem. These recipes go far beyond the "take two skinless boneless chicken breasts, bake, serve with cornstarch/orange juice reduction" type recipes which haunt other cooking for two books. Those books often get the "quick, easy, for two" part right, but leave your taste buds crying.

This book, on the other hand, is a godsend. Right from the first soup (an asian soup in which they actually take the time to flavor the broth with lemon grass, carrrots, chile flakes and lime juice before straining) I knew I had found a book that is for those of us who love food.

One thing: don't be scared by the cover! Hardly visually appealing, and the only thing wrong with this otherwise incredible cookbook.

A great addition/edition 5 out of 5 stars.

This handy cookbook has a wide variety and even includes a vegetarian section. It has some of the most interesting salad recipes that I have seen. And seen they are because there are a lot of mouth-watering photos. Some examples: Autumn Fruit Salad with Pomegranate: Thai Pork, Mint and Peanut Salad; Moroccan Carrot Salad. And the rest of the book is just as creative and good.

There are also special pages in this cookbook: From Freezer to Table in 30 Minutes; Breakfast Meats and Caesar Salad Four Ways. These were a nice bonus.

This is a valuable resource when cooking for two, because a lot of recipes in other cookbooks have to be halved, or there are huge amounts of leftovers. The recipes are easy to follow and are written in non-ambiguous language. I can hardly wait to try more of the recipes, because the ones I have made have been great.

WHAT WE EAT WHEN WE EAT ALONE
Stories and Recipes
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.
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.
The book is illustrated with the delightful art of Patrick McFarlin, and each chapter ends with recipes for those who dine alone.
