(who becomes a toast connoisseur)Meet the experts in cooking alone . . . 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
