French Cooking for One

A unique work of literary and culinary joie de vivre, part food memoir, part recipe book, French Cooking for One is a personal and quirky take on Edouard de Pomiane''s classic. With over 160 recipes, including a majority of vegetarian ones, with piquant storytelling and feminist wit, this is a working cook''s book with French flair, bursting with life. French cuisine, classic though it is, still holds delicious surprises worth exploring. Whether cooking for one on a daily or an occasional basis, cooking well for yourself means cherishing yourself and your appetites, joyously giving yourself pleasure, opening yourself to new experiences. This book will encourage you to do all that. From quick bites for busy days to sumptuous main courses for those who enjoy spending more time in the kitchen, the focus throughout is on dishes that are simple and fun to prepare, and results that are mouthwatering to contemplate and, of course, to eat. Mixed in with the recipes are stories and vignettes of Michele Roberts'' childhood in Normandy and her life in Mayenne, Pays de la Loire, plus original ink drawings full of charm and humour.
