Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant: Confessions of Cooking for One and Dining Alone by Jenni Ferrari-Adler
4.0
A collection of short essay centered around eating alone. How do people really feel about eating alone? Cooking alone? And what DO you cook when you cook for just yourself?
There is a tenderness that runs through the collection, a theme of taking care of yourself, when only you are there to do so. The idea of being a good steward of your emotional state. Of connecting with family, with loved ones, with fond memories. Of staking out space for yourself. Of deliberately eating alone.
