Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant: Confessions of Cooking for One and Dining Alone | 
pickI have owned this book for several years and when I decided to read it of course I couln‘t find it so off to the library for their copy. This is a series of essays on the joy, angst, ritual, recipes and decadence of eating alone. I love a solo meal- selecting what I want and making it to my taste- those odd pairings that remind you of certain times in your life and, yes, occasionally the blue box mac and cheese and canned tomato soup are my joy4🌟
This quote made me laugh! This book is a collection of essays about what we cook and eat when we are alone. Steve Almond‘s essay is titled “an almost foolproof plan to never eat alone again”. I recommend this book- the writers are excellent (e.g. Marcella Hazan, Amanda Hesser, Dan Chaon). Happy frosty Wednesday morning!🥶
One of my secret favorite books that I hold close to my heart is called Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant. I absolutely love the collection because it's all about the question: what do you cook for yourself when you're all alone and nobody is looking?
Cooking for myself (especially lunch!) is such a simple pleasure - I get to make something pretty and healthy and satisfying for one ❤️. What do YOU cook for yourself when you're all alone???
