Serves One: Simple Meals to Savor When You're on Your Own Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Serves One is the model follow-up to anyone's first cookbook or introductory cooking experience. Besides the helpful first few pages about an appropriately stocked pantry and the necessary equipment, the rest of Toni Lydecker's book assumes that you know the working end of a frying pan from the other. Taking off from there, she supplements her recipes with personal notes about how to add an expert touch to the meal or how to vary it specifically to your liking. I'm a guy, so I'm not going to use words like 'yummy' or 'scrumptious,' but I will say that everything I have made from Serves One has been awesome.
Even so, Toni's recipes are never intimidating, and their relative simplicity is surprising because the food still turns out delicious. Although Serves One isn't a health/dieting book, Toni keeps to the lighter side of food. I find that tendency is a nice alternative to the otherwise grease-laden diet of people eating on their own, who choose to order instead of cook. My single problem is with a few of the ingredients. Most people aren't going to keep Japanese sweet rice wine or Swiss chard around, but then again, this book is about treating yourself to something special.
And it can certainly be about treating others as well. So, even though I'm a fairly busy med school student, I don't keep to the title of Serves One but often double or quadruple the recipes for company. Some personal favorites: the grilled tuna with mango sauce, the one-pot bean and corn dinner, and the spaghetti alla carbonara. And even though some planning is required for making the homemade pizza dough, definitely try the grilled pizza with brie and arugula as well. Just saying the recipe title to a dinner guest will be impressive. But regardless of whether you have company or not, get yourself Serves One and get to treating yourself right.
