Party for One: Perfectly Portioned Recipes Just for You - Hardcover

by Meredith Dawson (Author)

A witty collection of 75 single-serving recipes from comedy writer Meredith Dawson, designed to indulge every craving--from slurpable to cheesy, to crispy and sweet.

If you're picking up this book, chances are you think cooking is one of the ultimate acts of care--both for others and for yourself. But why are most recipes meant to serve four to six people--or more? When you're cooking for yourself, all that matters is you, especially when you've got places to be, things to do, and a craving to satisfy. Cooking for one often means scaling down ingredients and adjusting cooking times: it can drive you crazy. Sometimes, one is all you want.

In her debut cookbook, Meredith Dawson invites you to lean into being alone (because being alone is great!) and enjoy single-serving dishes designed to indulge whatever your mood might be in any given moment. Because your opinion is the only one that matters!

Enjoy a cozy evening to yourself on the couch with delicious recipes such as:

• Ride of Die Pad Thai
• Green Enchiladas
• Not-Instant Ramen
• "Can You Ever Just Be Whelmed" Individual Beef Wellingtons
• Nice Krispie Treats

Peppered with delicious photographs and laced with Meredith's humor, Party for One will empower you to treat yourself to something special whenever you like.
