Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant: Confessions of Cooking for One and Dining Alone by Jenni Ferrari-Adler

4.0

A nice amount of variety upon the theme. The tales of eating badly, or at least eccentrically, are usually the most interesting. But that's at least in part because it's the opposite of my own tendencies. Most pieces were amusing rather than sentimental. Some very intriguing recipes. Few authors were unsympathetic. And there was the unexpected bonus of a piece by a waitress at my all-time favorite restaurant, although reading it made me homesick and she has a pretty different idea of the restaurant's level of formality than its diners do.
