Part 1: Start here, and the art of cooking for two
Most recipes are written for four to six people. Halve them and you run into the problems every couple knows: half a can of tomatoes that goes moldy, a pound of chicken that is too much and not enough, a pot that is too big and burns the sauce. This book is 20 dinners written for two from the start, with amounts, pan sizes and shopping lists to match, and a budget week at the end that shows what dinner for two can cost.
It is for couples, roommates, parents and grown children, friends and anyone who simply wants to cook for two without waste. All measurements are US: cups, ounces, pounds and °F.
