If your favorite book store doesn’t carry it, let me know and I can totally fix that!
I had such a blast writing this book. I’ve been tucking away recipes for a savory cooking for two book for years, and I finally got the chance to put them in print! Many of these recipes have been coming out of my kitchen since my single girl days. There is a breakfast section that includes Bruleed Toasty Oats with Lemon and Mascarpone, Eggs Benedict (with a Southern twist), scaled-down recipes for pancakes, waffles, cinnamon rolls, sticky buns, muffins, and biscuits (with 3 different methods for making your favorite biscuit!).
I just love breakfast food, and it really comes through in this book. I’d love to write a Breakfast in Bed for Two book sometime!
Next, there’s a lunch section with my favorites: a green chile chili that my mother-in-law is obsessed with, an attempt to re-create Central Market’s Apricot-Pecan Chicken Salad, many other salads, soups, decadent sandwiches (cheese-crusted grilled cheese, anyone?), and more. Did I mention the skillet pizza for two? Yep, there’s one of those.
The dinner for two section is divided up into standard dinners and anytime comfort foods. There’s date-night meals like Shrimp ’n Grits, sheet pan suppers, and even holiday recipes for two. I made Easter dinner for two, and of course I made Thanksgiving dinner for two. I finally shared my Mom’s famous Southern Cornbread dressing in the Thanksgiving menu, and I know it’s going to be your favorite!
Last, but definitely not least, I crammed in 15 more desserts for two. You know that miniature bakeware and petite spoons have my heart, so I scaled down more desserts for you: the easiest chocolate pudding (no baking or cooking required), pecan pie cheesecake (oh baby!), a mini yellow birthday cake with fudge frosting, cookies, small skillet cobblers, and more!
There’s always more, isn’t there?
Love and cupcakes, Christina
