Solo Suppers: Simple Delicious Meals to Cook for Yourself by Joyce Esersky Goldstein

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 19:53:23 -0500

suzy's review: "i have to disagree with DawnFinley's review -- just the bit about how expensive these ingredients are. i'm not sure where she lives, so i couldn't guess about how much things cost, but i looked through every recipe in this book (i just got it!) and the only things that looked like they might cost more than a couple bucks are the seafood and meat recipes. granted there is a lot of call for herbs and spices, but i'm only barely a passable cook and i often substitute store-bought ground herbs for fresh, or stock for wine, and have yet to be terribly disappointed with the results. and i don't have much disposable income to speak of, though i suppose that depends on your perspective. my grocery budget is between $60 and $80/week, for two. so you can judge for yourself!"
