Cooking for Two: 2009,The Year's Best Recipes Cut Down to Size

By America's Test Kitchen, America's Test Kitchen

Tasty and easy to make. The marinade/sauce uses basic Asian pantry items. I made the suggested substitution of an orange instead of a tangerine and the recipe worked perfectly. A nice addition to any stir-fry repertoire.

Delicious. One of three recipes in the book that are based around the same garlic-herb-white wine-chicken broth sauce. This recipe left us with a serving leftover, but I probably added a little more pasta than the recipe called for - and I'm not complaining about tasty leftovers! I did not need to add any pasta cooking water as the recipe suggests, and used Parmesan instead of Asiago cheese.

Fantastic, easy, and quick. One of three recipes based around the same garlic-herb-white wine-chicken broth sauce.

Lasagna

This turned out surprisingly well! You bake it in a loaf pan, which yields two really big servings...really more like three. Excellent if you're a couple craving lasagna but don't want to be eating it for days afterward.

How To Cook Everything: Simple Recipes for Great Food

Easy and delicious...really brings out the sweetness of the carrots. I usually omit the sugar/maple syrup. Recipe can also be made with turnips.

Makes for very tasty, crispy golden brown potatoes with tender insides. Give the pan a good coating of olive oil to ensure a nice crust.

Pork Chops

This has become my go-to pork chop recipe. The method is great for avoiding dried-out chops. So far I have tried the apple and mustard variations; both are tasty.
