Cooking for Two 2011 is a collection of our year's best recipes customized to serve two. This popular annual has new features for 2011, including a slow cooker chapter (we make use of a mini slow cooker) and a vegetarian chapter. Fans of this series have come to rely on Cooking for Two for the thrift it promotes (features like Use it Up provide approximately 20 recipes for excess ingredients), the freshness it delivers, and our small batch dessert recipes. America's Test Kitchen is the perfect place to develop recipe favorites into delicious, deliverable, cooking for two possibilities!

This recipe book has really broadened and rejuvenated our (senior) home meals. The best features are:
* listing of all items needed AND they are all COMMONLY found in our local stores;
* simple, step-by-step directions;
* not too long nor hard to prepare; and
* celicious dinners and lunches.
We expected to receive a good book from this publisher but got a really great book!

I own the '09, '10 and '11 editions and I can't wait for next year's. Each one has a wide variety of recipes that you never thought could be scaled down for two. I'm thrilled to be able to make the small amounts of hummus and caramel dip from this cookbook. Past editions have lemon curd, mango chutney, and ranch dressing among other things. The new vegetarian section is lovely and I would welcome more of those dishes (hint: a cheese enchilada recipe!). However, I felt cheated on the dessert section; they've included savory baked goods which is fine but I was hoping for more cakes and perhaps a cinnamon buns recipe. Oh and if they include more pear desserts in the future I'm going to scream! I also don't think they should include a "dinner off the grill" section on every edition.
Anyways, here are the recipes I've made so far from this book: black bean burgers, chocolate pots de crème (great), tiramisú, eggplant casserole, white spinach lasagna (note: I had to read the instructions more than twice on this one and then they expect you to bake the lasagnas in mini loaf pans. I didn't feel like cutting up all the noodles to fit the pans so I baked it on a regular loaf pan instead and it came out just fine. It feeds more than 2 unless you're really hungry), zucchini/tomato/ricotta tarts (great), orecchiette with broccoli rabe and beans, pan-roasted chickpeas with garlic/parsley paired with tomato/scallion/lemon couscous. You'll be in for a treat every time you try a recipe from this cookbook!

If you love to cook, but don't have a big family or group to cook for this is a fantastic book. The recipe's are delicious and manageable for two people. I found the recipe's are less involved than the regular America's Test Kitchen steps, which is great to have good quality food for 2 that doesn't take as long. It is a great idea for a date night.

Not worth the money
The recipes were very bland and unimaginative.The only section we found useful was on changing pan sizes. I had no idea that 5" pie dishes were available. Read more

REAL COOKING FOR TWO, NOT JUST CUT DOWN RECIPES
A lot of cooking for one or two cookbooks seem to have larger recipes that are just cut in half without much more thought. Read more
