Cooking for Two

Description

Many recipes are developed for four or more diners, making it necessary for you and your fellow diner to either have huge appetites or a high tolerance for days of leftovers. And it can be tricky to scale down a recipe. The ingredients can't always be cut in half easily (half an egg?) making a successful dinner a less-than-sure-thing. "Table for Two" is the answer. With delectable and straightforward recipes perfectly sized for two, and organized into helpful categories like Simple, Fast, and Easy Suppers; One-Pot Dinners; Romantic Meals; and, Duo Desserts, meal planning is a cinch. Recharge with a friend after a hard day at work with big bowls of Spaghetti Carbonara with a Poached Egg on Top.
