Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was really happy to find out about this book. Our child is off to college and recipes for two sounded perfect.
There are very, very few recipes for two. There is a chapter on party recipes, a chapter on holiday recipes (with the kids back at home) a chapter on passing down those family favorites, and even one for dinners on nights the kids visit.
The chapter on skillet dinners for two contains as many recipes for 4 as it does 2. I also question the authors idea of a portion size. While she mentions 4 oz of protein, her recipes are much larger: Peppered Jack Daniel's Steak which claims to serve two calls for 4 rib eye steaks. The fish recipes for two call for anything from 1 1/2 to 2 lbs of fish.
The menu suggestions for dinners for two contain all those serves 6-10 people recipes. No mention of decreasing the recipes or hints to make large batches smaller or freezing in portions. While the recipes look tasty, the book is not what it was advertised to be.
All in all a disappointment.
