Cooking for two is feeding yourself and your partner, your best friend, your favorite sibling. It can be a magical endeavor—you don’t need a full house to treat yourself and your loved ones to a delicious, nourishing meal, and A Meal for Two provides all of the tools and inspiration you will need.   

The book starts with easy, speedy, 15-minute weekday meals packed with flavor for when you’re short on time. A section on “nights in with your favorite 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. Desserts and drinks for two will round out the meals, and there’s also a section on what to do with any leftovers.  

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! 

Whether you’re looking for some inspiration while pressed for time, want something a little luxurious for a date night, or are relearning how to cook as an empty-nester, A Meal for Two is sure to win you and your loved one over with 95 recipes to make again and again.
