Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant: Confessions of Cooking for One and Dining Alone by Jenni Ferrari-Adler
5.0
You can't get better than the title "Alone in the Kitchen with an eggplant" and you really can't get much better with us wrote essays for this book: Dan Chanon, Nora Ephron, Ann Patchett, Beverly Lowry......
If you've ever had to travel frequent and eat alone or your living single this is a fantastic book about cooking for one-- or trying to.
Interesting escapades on first time cooks to even some great receipes.
Please check out the essay entitled: Wild Chili-- it's fantastic. That's saying alot since I'm Chile purist.
Recipes include: Truffled White Toast, Salsa Rosa, Il Toast, Grilled Curried Shrimp Quesarito with Avocado Raita.
My favorite quote: It is certainly true that cooking is therapeutic, creative and all those other faintly creepy self-helpish words. I would love to tell you that learning to cook was part of my journey toward actualization. I would love to tell OPrah this.. I would love to tell Oprah this while weeping. But I learned to cook for a much simpler reason: in the abject hope that people would spend time with me if I put good things in their mouths. It is, in other words, a function of my desperations for emotional connections and acclaim.
