Judith Jones

From the legendary editor of some of the world's greatest cooks--including Julia Child and James Beard--a passionate and practical book about the joys of cooking for one. Jones suggests basic recipes--such as tomato sauce, preserved lemons, pesto, and homemade stock--that all cooks should have on hand; teaches you how to improvise by building meals through the week; and supplies you with a lifetime's worth of tips and shortcuts.

"Doesn't man's best friend deserve a little more than cardboard-dry kibble day in and day out? Judith Jones thinks so, and in this ... new cookbook she offers up more than fifty home-cooked recipes, both time efficient and finance friendly--among them salmon cakes, wild mushroom risotto, and shepherd's pie--that she's loved and shared with her own canines"--
