Description: A witty collection of 75 single-serving recipes from comedy writer Meredith Dawson, designed to indulge every craving--from slurpable to cheesy, to crispy and sweet.
If you're picking up this book, chances are you think cooking is one of the ultimate acts of care--both for others and for yourself. But why are most recipes meant to serve four to six people--or more? When you're cooking for yourself, all that matters is you, especially when you've got places to be, things to do, and a craving to satisfy. Cooking for one often means scaling down ingredients and adjusting cooking times: it can drive you crazy. Sometimes, one is all you want. In her debut cookbook, Meredith Dawson invites you to lean in to being alone (because being alone is great!) and enjoy single-serving dishes designed to indulge whatever your mood might be in any given moment. Because your opinion is the only one that matters! Enjoy a cozy evening to yourself on the couch with delicious recipes such as:
- Ride of Die Pad Thai
- Green Enchiladas
- Not-Instant Ramen
- "Can You Ever Just Be Whelmed" Individual Beef Wellingtons
- Nice Krispie Treats
Peppered with delicious photographs and laced with Meredith's humor, Party for One will empower you to treat yourself to something special whenever you like.
Review Quotes:
"As a single gal, I jumped for joy at a cookbook that is all about making food for one person. Y'all know how many carrots I killed cuz I couldn't eat/use them fast enough? A LOT! Anyway, Meredith's wit and easy-to-follow recipes make cooking loads of fun and delicious. Also, this book is cute as hell! Even if you're not in the mood to cook, you'll wanna chill on your couch and just flip through this book! It's a win-win!"
