The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook, 10th Anniversary Edition

Meer over het boek

This comprehensive cookbook reengineers 650 of America's Test Kitchen's best recipes to serve just two, ensuring smaller families don't have to rely on larger servings. Scaling down recipes involves more than halving ingredients; adjustments to cooking times, temperatures, and equipment are essential. Each recipe, from Classic Beef Stew to mini Fudgy Brownies, guarantees perfect proportions and results every time. For busy nights, 150 recipes, like Chicken Saltimbocca and Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steaks, can be prepared in 30 minutes or less. For healthier options, over 100 "Light" recipes, such as Provencal Vegetable Soup and Poached Shrimp Salad with Avocado and Grapefruit, include nutritional information in an easy-to-read format. The book also features chapters on slow cooking, grilling, and baking, covering pies, quick breads, cakes, and cookies. A 25-page manual offers essential cooking basics for two, including shopping strategies to minimize waste, storage tips to extend ingredient freshness, and recommendations for the most useful kitchen equipment for any two-person household.
