From the legendary editor of some of the worldâs greatest cooksâincluding Julia Child and James Beardâa passionate and practical book about the joys of cooking for one.<br><br>Here, in convincing fashion, Judith Jones demonstrates that cooking for yourself presents unparalleled possibilities for both pleasure and experimentation: you can utilize whatever ingredients appeal, using farmersâ markets and specialty shops to enrich your palate and improve your health; you can feel free to fail, since a meal for one doesnât have to be perfect; and you can use leftovers to innovateâin the course of a week, the remains of beef bourguignon might be reimagined as a ragù, pork tenderloin may become a stir-fry, a cup or two of wild rice produces both a refreshing pilaf and a rich pancake, and red snapper can be reinvented as a summery salad. Itâs a fulfilling and immensely economical process, one perfectly suited for our timesâalthough, as Jones points out, cooking for one also means we can occasionally indulge ourselves in a favorite treat.<br><br>Throughout, Jones is both our instructor and our mentor, suggesting basic recipesâsuch as tomato sauce, preserved lemons, pesto, and homemade stockâthat all cooks should have on hand; teaching us how to improvise using an ingenious strategy of building meals through the week; and supplying us with a lifetimeâs worth of tips and shortcuts. From Childâs advice for buying fresh meat to Beardâs challenge to beginning crêpe-makers and Lidia Bastianichâs tips for cooking perfectly sauced pasta, Jonesâs book presents a wealth of acquired knowledge from our finest cooks.<i><br><br>The Pleasures of Cooking for One</i> is a vibrant, wise celebration of food and enjoying our own company from one of our most treasured cooking experts. | *$14.06 |
