Gluten-Free Cooking for Two: 125 Favorites

This solid cookbook for novices was inspired when Fenster (100 Best Gluten-Free Recipes) found herself still cooking large portions despite her household having shrunk. She realized there was a need for small-batch cooking information for childless couples and empty nesters. Cooking for the actual number of people in one’s home helps to control portion sizes, reduces the need for excessive freezer or refrigerator space, and eliminates the waste of food and expensive ingredients. The introduction sets up a small-batch kitchen, with tips and tricks for cooking in smaller quantities, recommended brands for ingredients, and a bonus recipe for Fenster’s gluten-free flour blend. Recipes run the typical spectrum from breakfast to desserts and are basically everyday fare, just downsized and gluten-free. Some recipes rely on pre-made gluten-free products such as pasta and bread, but there are recipes for pie crust and pizza dough. This is a great introduction to gluten-free small-batch cooking.
