With The Ultimate Cooking for One Cookbook, cooking solo never needs to be boring again whether you live alone or are just looking for a filling and enjoyable meal for yourself. As someone who has been using cookbooks longer than I can remember I am not a huge fan. Secondly, its like a regular book and not a three ring book that Im used to from BHG.
Thankfully, New York City chef David Chang and food writer Peter Meehan wrote a book that is as usable as it is influential. It's not hard to argue that David Chang and Momofuku have had more influence on American food in this nascent century than any other entity, and it's visible in Momofuku. Recipes that seemed novel when it was published in 2009 now seem commonplace. We have David Chang to thank for America's ramen-mania, for example.

Great book for any serious cooks looking to expand their knowledge of modernist cooking. Modernist cooking really is, the appliance of science, to what we do day in, day out.
