Cooking for two is feeding yourself and your partner, your best friend, your favourite sibling. It can be a magical endeavour – you don’t need a full house to treat yourself and your loved ones to a delicious, nourishing meal, and A Meal for Twoprovides all of the tools and inspiration you will need.
The book starts with easy, speedy, 15-minute weekday meals packed with flavour for when you’re short on time. A section on “nights in with your favourite person” is perfect when you’ve got a little extra time to play with, and there are meals for weekend moments when you may be looking to get a little fancy.
In under 15 minutes make Crispy Gnocchi with Corn, Ricotta & Spinach on a Tuesday, or Cheeseburger Tacos on a Thursday. If you’ve got a little more bandwidth, Schnitzel with Kohlrabi Slaw or Vodka Gochujang pasta are sure to win over your bestie or other half. And on a slow Sunday, try your hand at Spicy Makhani Paneer Curry & Fresh Parathas—the leftovers can also become an Indian Crispy Rice and Herb Salad. Don’t forget a lighter than light Earl Grey Chocolate Pudding, or Crispy Thai Banana Roti for your sweet-toothed friend. The Clarified Espresso Martini and the Perfect Negroni each make two drinks, but you may want to have both!
