Cooking for Two: 2009,The Year's Best Recipes Cut Down to Size

Frustrated by wasting food you just can't eat or ingredients you can't use up? Tired of trying to figure out how to scale down a recipe so it doesn't serve an army?

For this innovative cookbook, the editors and cooks at America's Test Kitchen thought big but cooked small. We revamped our best recipes from the year to serve two. You'll find everything from simple weeknight fare to special occasion dinners to salads, soups, sides and desserts. Birthday cake for two? We've got you covered!

A great gift for empty nesters, newlyweds, single people, young families (because new moms & dads are sick of eating mac-n-cheese) and more. Cooking for Two includes our guaranteed and much-loved equipment recommendations, Notes from the Test Kitchen feature, and ingredient ratings. The Smart Shopper's Guide in the front of the book instructs your grocery shopping and meal planning by helping you make the most of ingredients.
