From the Michelin-starred chef and Iron Chef America and Top Chef Masters contestant-a hilarious, self-deprecating, gorgeous new cookbook-the ultimate guide to cooking for one.
The life of a chef can be a lonely one, with odd hours and late-night meals. But as a result, Anita Lo believes that cooking and dining for one can, and should, be blissful and empowering. In Solo, she gives us a guide to self-love through the best means possible-delicious food-in 101 accessible, contemporary, and sophisticated recipes for home cooks.
Drawn from her childhood, her years pent cooking around the world, and her extensive travels, these are globally inspired dishes from Lo's own repertoire that cater to the home table. Think Steamed Seabass with Shiitakes; Smoky Eggplant and Scallion Frittata; Duck Bolognese; Chicken Pho; Slow Cooker Shortrib with Caramelized Endive; Broccoli Stem Slaw; Chicken Tagine with Couscous; and Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie-even a New England clambake for one.
