I found this book when I was wandering through Barnes & Noble last weekend. As usual, I was just window shopping and then my wallet was $100 lighter….oops.
The book is called “What We Eat When We Eat Alone: Stories and 100 Recipes” and it’s charming. Who knows if the recipes are any good, but I can certainly relate to the title alone. We all have things that we like to eat only when we are by ourselves, right? C’mon, fess up.
I love this editorial review on Amazon – "Just when you thought there was nothing conceivably new to write about food, (the authors) have devised a truly intimate, startling, funny, and genuinely subversive book. What We Eat When We Eat Alone is like peeping through a one-way mirror into the life of others. Not only what we eat, but how we eat it (spreading newsprint over one's chest to eat in bed) fills this entertaining book with enough fun and good ideas to keep you turning page after page. Even though the chapter 'Men and Their Meat' is not what you think it might be, you will be missing a rare treat if you don't buy and read this book."
Sounds like the perfect thing to read – while you’re eating something alone no less.
