Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Roasted stuffed zucchini with feta, dill, and cracked wheat

    • billcranecos on July 20, 2021

      The currants (I used raisins) add a nice pop of color and should not be optional. Delicious.

  • Spaghetti with burst baby tomatoes and chili

    • stepharama1 on December 29, 2021

      This turned out even yummier than expected. I added some lemon zest to the sauce.

  • Penne with broccoli rabe and walnuts

    • stepharama1 on January 03, 2022

      I made this with tender stem broccoli and increased lemon zest to compensate. It was fast (even though I doubled the recipe), fresh and delicious.

  • Japanese ground turkey curry with apples and spinach

    • JimCampbell on February 24, 2026

      A 3.0 out of 5. This is one of our go-to recipes for something different which is quick to throw together. It uses powdered curry. We use Madras Curry Powder. The cookbook recipes are sized for one person, so we increase the ingredient measurements to accommodate a pound of ground turkey. We grate the garlic and ginger, and tend to be a bit more generous with both. We're also overly generous with the spinach, or Swiss chard, whichever we have on-hand. We serve it over long grain white rice. A comforting meal which does not take a whole lot of effort. It's on the every 3-4 month cycle.

Publishers Text

From the Michelin-starred chef and Iron Chef America and Top Chef Masters contestant—a hilarious, self-deprecating, gorgeous new cookbook—the ultimate guide to cooking for one.

Anita Lo puts the "Lo" in alone. The life of a Michelin-starred New York City chef is a solitary one—there's not much time for dating or dinners with friends—so she's perfected the art of cooking for one. In this delightful cookbook, Lo presents 101 accessible, contemporary, and sophisticated recipes for home cooks, most of which take less than 30 minutes to make. Drawn from her childhood, her years cooking around the world, and her extensive travels, these are globally-inspired, restaurant-quality dishes from Lo's own repertoire. Think Steamed Seabass with Shiitakes; Smoky Eggplant and Scallion Frittata; Duck Bolognese; Chicken Pho; Slow Cooker Shortrib with Caramelized Endive; Broccoli Stem Slaw; Chicken Tagine with Couscous; and Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie—even a New England clambake for one. (And should you find yourself with company, fear not! These recipes are easily multiplied by two.)
