At last, a book of lovely recipes by someone who knows that cooking isn't always for sharing. It's just as important to eat well on your own. -- <b>Diana Henry</b> Joyous recipes for one -- <b>India Knight</b> A book that turns a chore into a pleasure ... Johansen is never less than in tune with her reader. -- <b><i>Observer Food Monthly</i></b> A (delicious) manifesto on the plus points of getting into the kitchen with only yourself to feed -- <i><b>Telegraph</b></i> Turning cooking for one from a soul-destroying mathematical exercise to a self-loving luxury, Solo is gleefully self-indulgent yet somehow wildly practical -- <b>Alexandra Heminsley</b> Indulge yourself with mussels, fennel and wine or revamp that most melancholy of late-night staples - noodles - with Signe's recipe for miso ramen. -- <b><i>Observer Food Monthly</i></b>
