We’ve tried several recipes from this book already。 From omelettes to chicken vesuvio， to steak and cod， and we really enjoy it！ I use it at least twice a week in my kitchen， and it even gives you guides on how to properly process， season， and prep everything like a skilled cook。

perfect for someone’s first cookbook experience。 10/10 wedding gift for a new couple without a collection。 i’m not the audience for this but there’s good recipes， easy to understand shopping guides， and an interesting twist on cooking for two people at a time。

Love this cookbook。 The portions are perfect， and the book has tons of education on cooking and storing food。 I don't cook without this book。 Love this cookbook。 The portions are perfect， and the book has tons of education on cooking and storing food。 I don't cook without this book。 。。。more

Fantastic cookbook for a wedding gift！ This gives great recipes that are portioned out for two， maybe three people。 It's my go to wedding gift along with a nice 4 quart Dutch oven and a half dozen commercial paring knives。 It's a gift I see couples raving about for years after their wedding。 Pick up one for yourself if you don't already have one！ Fantastic cookbook for a wedding gift！ This gives great recipes that are portioned out for two， maybe three people。 It's my go to wedding gift along with a nice 4 quart Dutch oven and a half dozen commercial paring knives。 It's a gift I see couples raving about for years after their wedding。 Pick up one for yourself if you don't already have one！ 。。。more

I often skip the introduction pages， but this book has great tips for tools， storage， prep， pantry， and shopping。 The recipes are easy to follow and I already trust ATC to have the best and most helpful recipes。

The book is fine but the binding is garbage and already pages are falling out…which sucks for any book but especially cookbooks。 Grrr

ExcellentTons of recipes for two。 I really like that it has tips on saving money on groceries & how to freeze meat。 Also how to stock a pantry with tips。 Love this book & recipes look amazing。

I think I have found more recipes I want to try in this book than I have in most others I have looked at recently。 Certainly most "American" food cookbooks。 （Kenji is in a class of his own。 :-））Love the idea of starting with Boursin cheese for creamed spinach （as opposed to making bechamel）。The discussion of eggs is very valuable， as are the recipes！！ And I， at age 71， fully intend to refer to it often！ And I consider myself a good cook。 :-）I DEFINITELY am going to try Skillet Olive Bread！ Altho I think I have found more recipes I want to try in this book than I have in most others I have looked at recently。 Certainly most "American" food cookbooks。 （Kenji is in a class of his own。 :-））Love the idea of starting with Boursin cheese for creamed spinach （as opposed to making bechamel）。The discussion of eggs is very valuable， as are the recipes！！ And I， at age 71， fully intend to refer to it often！ And I consider myself a good cook。 :-）I DEFINITELY am going to try Skillet Olive Bread！ Although I am not， these days attracted to sweets， maybe Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese frosting。。。primarily for the frosting。 :） Well， and the flan。 And。。。 So， gotta go with 5 stars。 。。。more

The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook: 650 Recipes for Everything You'll Ever Want to Make is a great gift cookbook to give to someone who needs smaller portions with plenty of basics。 It also has great tips and ideas， the ones in the front section were terrific especially for those that are newer to cooking。 I love the sections that the cookbook was divided into！I do wish nutritional information was included with each recipe The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook: 650 Recipes for Everything You'll Ever Want to Make is a great gift cookbook to give to someone who needs smaller portions with plenty of basics。 It also has great tips and ideas， the ones in the front section were terrific especially for those that are newer to cooking。 I love the sections that the cookbook was divided into！I do wish nutritional information was included with each recipe 。。。more

This is one of my favorite cookbooks and one of the oldest on my kitchen shelves。 It's absolutely perfect for those of us who want to eat amazingly delicious home-cooked food but are conscious of our calorie intake and/or don't like leftovers。 If you only have two or three people to cook for， get this book。 It truly covers everything from appetizers to desserts， and if you're vegetarian or vegan， the recipes still work with alternative ingredients， like Impossible meat in the Classic Lasagna （p This is one of my favorite cookbooks and one of the oldest on my kitchen shelves。 It's absolutely perfect for those of us who want to eat amazingly delicious home-cooked food but are conscious of our calorie intake and/or don't like leftovers。 If you only have two or three people to cook for， get this book。 It truly covers everything from appetizers to desserts， and if you're vegetarian or vegan， the recipes still work with alternative ingredients， like Impossible meat in the Classic Lasagna （p 231） or extra mushrooms instead of chicken in the Skillet Penne （p 234）， not to mention the entire section dedicated to vegetarian mains （p 195-213）。 As with all America's Test Kitchen cookbooks， there is a full section at the beginning with useful general information pertaining to cooking for two， and recipes that are light on calories and/or quick to make are marked with colored icons for easy finding。 This book is simply a must-have for small households and I'm so glad I've got it！ 。。。more

This was a fun book with some decent recipes。 Not quite the comprehensive book I was looking for， but definitely a good resource to have in my back pocket。

Interesting idea， but I didn’t like the set up and the recipes were not my taste。

quite usefulI found this cookbook surprisingly practical and useful。。 a huge selection and variety of recipes I would actually want to make and eat。 Helpful instructions with pictures on cutting various vegetables and meats， etc。 The fish chapter looks incredible。。 looking forward to expanding my repertoire there！ I've been searching for better cookbooks， and this one definitely makes the cut。 My only complaint is: while there are a fair amount of recipes with pictures， as always， I wish every r quite usefulI found this cookbook surprisingly practical and useful。。 a huge selection and variety of recipes I would actually want to make and eat。 Helpful instructions with pictures on cutting various vegetables and meats， etc。 The fish chapter looks incredible。。 looking forward to expanding my repertoire there！ I've been searching for better cookbooks， and this one definitely makes the cut。 My only complaint is: while there are a fair amount of recipes with pictures， as always， I wish every recipe had a picture。 。。。more

Extremely helpful as many recipes are for 4-8 servings， but I don't need that much。 This is absolutely wonderful。 Extremely helpful as many recipes are for 4-8 servings， but I don't need that much。 This is absolutely wonderful。 。。。more

I received this for Christmas and I have loved flipping through it。 There are so many tips and tricks to not only cook for two but also shop。 I’ve thrown away so many herbs and buttermilk。 I have learned many things that I have googled millions of times from this one book！ I think it’s a gem and have started my grocery list。 I can’t wait to get started。

As always well tested recipes and details on why it works。 I've tried a few recipes。 The measurements were correct。 The dishes were delicious。 But barely half of the book would work for me since I'm a vegetarian。 I borrowed the book from the library and made copies of the recipes I knew I'd enjoy having in my collection。 As always well tested recipes and details on why it works。 I've tried a few recipes。 The measurements were correct。 The dishes were delicious。 But barely half of the book would work for me since I'm a vegetarian。 I borrowed the book from the library and made copies of the recipes I knew I'd enjoy having in my collection。 。。。more

While I’m many years away from cooking for two， I was just curious and wanted to flip through this。 A nice， rounded assortment of recipes， with ratios that seem reasonable。 I am buying a copy of this one for sure。。。

This is the best cookbook I have read in a while， because of its focus on making small quantities。 How many times have you made something， and then wished you did not have to eat it for the next week？！ This book solves that problem， and in a busy week， it is a lifesaver， full of ideas and thoughtful additions to your cooking repertoire。 I loved the molasses cookies， and the recipe only makes a dozen， so you can't do yourself too much damage。 Haha。 The coffee cake recipe is also a winner， makes j This is the best cookbook I have read in a while， because of its focus on making small quantities。 How many times have you made something， and then wished you did not have to eat it for the next week？！ This book solves that problem， and in a busy week， it is a lifesaver， full of ideas and thoughtful additions to your cooking repertoire。 I loved the molasses cookies， and the recipe only makes a dozen， so you can't do yourself too much damage。 Haha。 The coffee cake recipe is also a winner， makes just enough cake for a small group to finish。 The fish and chicken recipes are also winners， loved the different kinds of salsas and sauces for these。 Buy this book！ 。。。more

So many recipes are for families of four or large groups。 It's nice having a comprehensive cookbook where all the ingredients are measured out for two people。 My wife and I use this cookbook often and have been very happy with the results。 It also has useful little sidebars such as "Tips for Stir Fry Success" or "The Best Steaks for Two。"Highly recommended。 So many recipes are for families of four or large groups。 It's nice having a comprehensive cookbook where all the ingredients are measured out for two people。 My wife and I use this cookbook often and have been very happy with the results。 It also has useful little sidebars such as "Tips for Stir Fry Success" or "The Best Steaks for Two。"Highly recommended。 。。。more
