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!

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.

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.

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.

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 big awesome cake sitting on the counter for a few days just begging to be eaten (and I end up eating it because I was raised not to waste food). Now, I only make enough for the two of us and no more over eating. What's not to like about that? Great concept, very helpful if you are trying to be healthier, and tonnes of recipes to try. Would definitely recommend. Read full review
