Synopsis
650 Recipes for EVERYTHING You'll Ever Want to Make. Because smaller families shouldn't have to rely on recipes built for four or six, America's Test Kitchen has reengineered 650 of our best recipes to serve just two. Over the years we've discovered that scaling down a recipe isn't as simple as cutting the ingredients in half--cooking times, temperatures, and equipment need to be adapted as well. This comprehensive cookbook takes the guesswork out of cooking for two so you can be sure that anything you want to make--from Classic Beef Stew to Lasagna to a mini batch of Fudgy Brownies or a Fluffy Yellow Layer Cake--will come out right (and perfectly proportioned) every time. We'll also give you options when you're short on time. 150 recipes, including Chicken Saltimbocca and Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steaks with Sweet-Tart Red Wine Sauce, can be on the table in 30 minutes or less. For those times when you want healthier fare, we've provided more than 100 recipes labeled "Light" such as Provencal Vegetable Soup and Poached Shrimp Salad with Avocado and Grapefruit, each with nutritional information listed in an easy-to-read chart in the back of the book. And we include chapters on for-two slow cooking, grilling, and baking pies, quick breads, cakes, and cookies. A 25-page manual teaches the basics of cooking for two, including clever shopping strategies to reduce waste, smart storage tricks help extend freshness of key ingredients, and our picks for the most useful kitchen equipment for any two-person household.

    The cookbook I should have bought first...

    On a quest to find some tasty new "cooking for one or two" recipes.... four cookbooks later, I finally stumble upon this gem. It's great!!! The recipes are not just downsized, they were retested. So many good hints, helpful advice and great recipes...should have started here, as I can now donate the other cookbooks!

    Too complicated

    Cooking for two , in my book, should be simple, easy and tasty. The recipes in this book call for too many different ingredients, seem complicated and take too long. Also it is a very heavy book, not easy to handle.

  • Good but too much?

    The book has some great recipes for two, but there's too much how to in it. If you know how to prep or measure, that part is a bit much. They give great advice for meals for two. But there's a little too much "how to" if you know how to cook already. Perfect for starters.

  • Cooking for 2

    So far have tried a couple soup recipes. Both were very good and simple to make with basic ingredients. Cookbook has a nice variety of recipes. Just wish there were pictures for each recipe. Otherwise love the cookbook.

  • Great cookbook

    Got this book and honestly didn't know what to expect. It is much bigger than I thought, heavier, dare I say meatier. Lots of recipes, lots of helpful tips and know-how techniques that are very educational. Love, love, love, that this book takes regular recipes and pares them down to the right quantities for just two people. Some critics say, so what, I don't need a recipe just for two people, I can make a regular meal and just portion it out. That's great if you have good will-power, but for those of us who over eat and like to go back and graze on the left-overs, it can play havoc with any diet you might be on. I like that, especially for desserts, it makes just enough for two. There are even recipes for a 6-inch sized layer cake, just enough for a slice or two for two people, and no ...
