Its a fulfilling and immensely economical process, one perfectly suited for our times-although, as Jones points out, cooking for one also means we can occasionally indulge ourselves in a favorite treat.Throughout, Jones is both our instructor and our mentor, suggesting basic recipes-such as tomato sauce, preserved lemons, pesto, and homemade stock-that all cooks should have on hand; teaching us how to improvise using an ingenious strategy of building meals through the week; and supplying us with a lifetimes worth of tips and shortcuts. From Childs advice for buying fresh meat to Beards challenge to beginning crpe-makers and Lidia Bastianichs tips for cooking perfectly sauced pasta, Joness book presents a wealth of acquired knowledge from our finest cooks.The Pleasures of Cooking for One is a vibrant, wise celebration of food and enjoying our own company from one of our most treasured cooking experts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eKnopf Publishing Group | brand: Knopf | manufacturer: Knopf\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49667379429616,"sku":"NEW0307270726","price":23.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/the-pleasures-of-cooking-for-one-a-cookbook-by-jones-judit","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
