Welcome to Creative Cooking for One or Two
N ot so many years ago, many of us lived as part of large and extended households. Much of the food eaten in those households was cooked in large quantities from recipes meant to feed a crowd. My, how times have changed. In a world of single professionals, single parent families, and couples who remain childless by choice, many of the multiple serving cookbooks we grew up with simply dont meet our needs anymore.
A similar quandary befell my husband Bruce and me. Once our kids were all grown, with families of their own, we were left, still appreciative of the family style cooking we enjoyed for years, but not always sure what to do with such large quantities of food.
Thus began the series of recipe transformations that have led to Creative Cooking for One or Two. This isnt a book about using mixes or ordering take-out; its about ways to create delicious, from scratch cooking in your home kitchen; whether that kitchen happens to be deluxe and fully equipped, or much more modest.
