America's Test Kitchen The Complete Cooking for 2-Cookbook: 650 Recipes for Everything You'll Ever Want to Make
Product ID: 255544218
650 Recipes for EVERYTHING You'll Ever Want to Make. Because smaller families shouldn't have to rely on recipes built for four or six, America's Test Kitchen has reengineered 650 of our best recipes to serve just two. Over the years we've discovered that scaling down a recipe isn't as simple as cutting the ingredients in half--cooking times, temperatures, and equipment need to be adapted as well. This comprehensive cookbook takes the guesswork out of cooking for two so you can be sure that anything you want to make--from Classic Beef Stew to Lasagna to a mini batch of Fudgy Brownies or a Fluffy Yellow Layer Cake--will come out right (and perfectly proportioned) every time. We'll also give you options when you're short on time. 150 recipes, including Chicken Saltimbocca and Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steaks with Sweet-Tart Red Wine Sauce, can be on the table in 30 minutes or less. For those times when you want healthier fare, we've provided more than 100 recipes labeled "Light" such as Provencal Vegetable Soup and Poached Shrimp Salad with Avocado and Grapefruit, each with nutritional information listed in an easy-to-read chart in the back of the book. And we include chapters on for-two slow cooking, grilling, and baking pies, quick breads, cakes, and cookies. A 25-page manual teaches the basics of cooking for two, including clever shopping strategies to reduce waste, smart storage tricks help extend freshness of key ingredients, and our picks for the most useful kitchen equipment for any two-person household.

Excellent
This book is just what we needed, cooking for two and finding recipes for two is not easy, this book gives everything you need heaps of good tips, recipes easy tofollow, a bit concerned that all measurements were American and they are BUT at the back of the book are all the conversion tables 🤗. Best cook book we have ever purchased.

Great for Couples!
This book is far better then I anticipated. It is a wealth of information. The recipes are great and easy to follow, although I do wish there were more photos (of the finish product) so that I could compare, but I just google the dishes to get photos. I find that the ingredients they ask for are manageable and easy to find at any grocery store. The volume is quite accurate and feeds just two, I never had leftovers or waste. I will be doubling up on a few recipes, we loved to freeze for later or to have as leftovers. This is more then a recipe book, it is a complete guide to cooking. Some examples of other items the book discusses: - Substitutions for cooking - How to properly cut vegetables, meats, herbs etc. - How to properly store food and where ( fridge/counter top etc). - What you can and cannot freeze, and how to do so for optimal flavour. - Different types of Meats/Cuts - Different types of sauces, soup stocks and pastas and which ones to buy. I hope another couple can get as much joy out of this as we have, it is fun to cook together, especially during a time of self-isolation!

The best cookbook ever
Ausschließlich sehr leckere Klassiker und spannende Spezialitäten unter den Rezepten. Mit den Hintergrund-Infos rund um die Küche ist es ein super Grundkurs Kochen wie Dr. Oetker's Kochschule. Die Maßeinheiten sind britisch, also ist extra Mühe gefordert für's umrechnen. Sehr empfehlensert für junge Paare bevor das große Familienkochen dran ist.
