Synopsis650 Recipes for EVERYTHING You'll Ever Want to Make. Because smaller families shouldn't have to rely on recipes built for four or six, America's Test Kitchen has reengineered 650 of our best recipes to serve just two. Over the years we've discovered that scaling down a recipe isn't as simple as cutting the ingredients in half--cooking times, temperatures, and equipment need to be adapted as well. This comprehensive cookbook takes the guesswork out of cooking for two so you can be sure that anything you want to make--from Classic Beef Stew to Lasagna to a mini batch of Fudgy Brownies or a Fluffy Yellow Layer Cake--will come out right (and perfectly proportioned) every time. We'll also give you options when you're short on time. 150 recipes, including Chicken Saltimbocca and Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steaks with Sweet-Tart Red Wine Sauce, can be on the table in 30 minutes or less. For those times when you want healthier fare, we've provided more than 100 recipes labeled "Light" such as Provencal Vegetable Soup and Poached Shrimp Salad with Avocado and Grapefruit, each with nutritional information listed in an easy-to-read chart in the back of the book. And we include chapters on for-two slow cooking, grilling, and baking pies, quick breads, cakes, and cookies. A 25-page manual teaches the basics of cooking for two, including clever shopping strategies to reduce waste, smart storage tricks help extend freshness of key ingredients, and our picks for the most useful kitchen equipment for any two-person household.

The cookbook I should have bought first...
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!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Too complicated
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good but too much?
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Cooking for 2
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great 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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

ATK’s Cooking for Two get two thumbs up!
Cooking for two is an important contribution, especially in a household where some are less thrilled with leftovers. ATK does a great job with this, just as they do with their other cookbooks. I love the recipe writeups, as they go well beyond a mere listing of ingredients, taking you inside specific aspects of a dish being addressed and then on to the delicious solutions. It’s very well written, and I love reading the recipes. They inspire me. I highly recommend it. My copy of the book, at a very reasonable price, was like new.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Through enough to replace many of my other cookbooks.
No cutting recipes in half or quarters with this book. Lots of good explanations for us amateurs. The recipes are for two, but that doesn't mean they are simple to do.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
