Book Reviews of Table For Two: The Cookbook For Couples
Book Review: Betty Crocker and Better Homes & Gardens, Move Over!
Summary: 5 Stars
After almost 34 years of marriage, I own a few cookbooks. Some are well-worn and others rarely opened. I also prepare many of my favorites, as well as "experiments," without consulting a cookbook or my box of recipe cards started for me by my mother in 1977. So what do I need another cookbook for?
Even though our two grown children have been out of the nest for a few years (well, one moved out and then moved back in and then . . ) it's been a challenge for me to set my auto-pilot to "cook for two."
This fall my husband and I decided to lose weight -- together! We've been working out, walking, changing our eating habits, and cooking in the kitchen -- together! Although the newer, healthy-eating, low-calorie, diet cookbooks do have a better range of menus and tastier recipes than they used to, I found myself tiring of them quickly and falling into a bit of a slump. I wanted a cookbook with healthy choices and more interesting, gourmet-type recipes that was not geared toward a certain weight-loss plan. Something I could continue to utilise when we switch to "maintenance mode" or no longer need to count our calories as closely.
Table for Two: The Cookbook for Couples fits the bill and more. The portions are right. The ingredients are fresh and easy to find. The suggestions are helpful. The attitude of the author is very easy-going and unassuming. I can simply skip over (for now) the recipes that are higher in calories, and find ones that fit within our range and call for ingredients that I either have on hand or can run up to the store and buy.
The first meal my husband and I prepared from Table for Two was tasty! We had two pork chops in the freezer so I thawed and marinated them as the recipe instructed. The menu suggestion on the page said, "Serve with Roasted New Potatos with Parmesan and Orange Glazed Carrots." I decided to go ahead and fix these as well since I had new potatoes and carrots in the house. My husband skillfully manned the grill as I was finishing up the vegetables and everything turned out delicious. This was my first time to braise and glaze carrots and I was quite proud of myself. (The cooking directions were easy to follow!) And our pork chops weren't as thick as the ones in the recipe but with some minor cooking time adjustments (and we like our pork well done) the chops turned out just fine.
I look forward to using my new cookbook again . . . probably this weekend!
