'The Proof of the Pudding ...'
Solo Cooking for a Sustainable Planet lives up to its title and its principal objective — yet could as readily be titled: General or Family Cooking for a Sustainable Planet ... (just double or treble the recommended quantities). The recipes are unusual for many Western cooks and diners yet all ingredients are easily obtainable these days and preparation is simple. I like it for these reasons in particular. The book's general introduction outlines the purpose of the book — again summed up in its title. Ten chapter/section introductions covering soup making, through legumes, fish and desserts are brief yet informative. Favourite recipes (to date) include: Lentil Walnut Pate, Salmon with Sake, Zucchini with Bell Pepper, Easy Key Lime Pie — there are many more recipes – over 170 in all. 1The design of the book is clear and pleasing and most suitable for kitchen reference.
