Book description
Supper for one? Cooking Alone (1954) is a delicious miniature compendium of tales inspired by a cast of eccentric solitary characters. Brimming with entertaining anecdotes, recipes (rabbit with aubergine and prunes, anyone?) and top tips (ever wondered how to store ice cream in a bedsit?), Kathleen Le Riche is a witty, charming guide to the single life. Reissued with a new foreword by Bee Wilson, this vintage delight is a hymn to the pleasures of dining solo. 'A clever book, and amusing too. Somebody ought to bestow its author's name upon a sauce.' Belfast News Letter 'Every servantless man and woman should read her.' Truth 'Delightful . . . Ingenious.' Home and Country
