Notes about this book

    Really enjoyed the flavours in this one. Make sure you read the recipe well a few times to get the timings right. I found the pancake instructions a tad weird; next time I may not stack them. Served with a simple salad on the side. Recipe is Homage to Peking Duck.

    Chicken Alsace turned out fantastic. Used large chicken breasts so cook times were good. Reduce time if using small ones. Stove ran a touch hot so not as much sauce as expected, will correct with an extra 1/4 cup of liquid. The suggestion was to accompany with rice, but, as I don’t cook rice very well, subbed buttered egg noodles. Spaetzle would also be nice.

Publishers Text

Two’s Company is a book with a positive message that cooking for two is exciting, fun and worthwhile. More than that – free from the demands of family or guests, liberated from a strict timetable, you can follow your mood, whether you fancy something homey, a fake-away or a creative culinary adventure. There is a major gap in the market for a mainstream cookbook for two, providing inspiration for couples, friends and flat-sharers who enjoy cooking and eating at home. Most of those cooking for two are forced either to scale down recipes or repeatedly contend with a fridge full of leftovers. Supermarkets have identified this trend, and provide a lavish choice of ready meals aimed at twosomes. But there is still a lack of inspiration for those of us who want to cook something fresh from scratch for a partner or friend. Here Orlando Murrin not only brings you original recipes but sets out the different ‘rules’ to consider when cooking for two. He suggests ways to shop sensibly to minimize waste and shares ingenious tips for shortcuts and techniques, gleaned from working with professional chefs and food stylists.
