Supper for one? Whether you're a career girl, eccentric bedsitter or

dining in solitude (with a new foreword by Bee Wilson).
The Career Woman (who buys a chicken as a treat)
The Bedsitter (who experiments with newfangled gadgets)
The Old Lady (who feeds her menagerie of pets)
The Schoolboy Moocher (who makes toffee and wallows in grapes)
The Bachelor (who learns to stockpile food)
Meet the experts in cooking alone . . .
'Every servantless man and woman should read her.' Truth
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.
Knock-out recipes for award-winning, Philadelphia-style pizzas, wings,
shakes, and more, from Down North, the pizzeria owned and operated
exclusively by formerly incarcerated people, featuring poignant stories
from its employees.
Created and launched by Philly born-and-bred entrepreneur Muhammad
Abdul-Hadi, the mission of Down North Pizza is to reduce recidivism
rates in North Philly and serve up the most insanely delicious food
while doing it.
We the Pizza tells the Down North story about how the restaurant
fulfills its mission to educate and support the formerly incarcerated
while serving dope food. A testament to survival and second chances,
this cookbook offers recipes for the tender, crispy-edged, square-cut,
sauce-on-top pies that are Down North’s signature dish; a whole chapter
is devoted to vegetarian and vegan pizzas like No Better Love made with
four cheeses and the arrabbiata-inspired Norf Sauce, while the meat and
seafood pizza chapter features their most popular Roc the Mic pepperoni
pie as well as the smoky berbere-brisket Tales of a Hustler and Say
Yes, topped with jerk turkey sausage, roasted butternut squash, kale,
ricotta, and lemon-honey drizzle.
The 65 recipes for pizzas along with classic and creative wings, fries,
lemonades, and shakes are paired with cinematic photography of the
pizzas in their natural setting and out in the wilds of Philadelphia,
with lots of journalistic-style photography of the Down North crew
making dough and slinging pies. At the same time, We the Pizza provides
detailed historical information about incarceration in the United
States along with empowering stories from Down North’s formerly
incarcerated staff. And with exclusive pizza recipes from renowned
chef-supporters like Marc Vetri and Marcus Samuelsson, We the Pizza
celebrates ingeniously delicious pizza, as well as the power people
have to rise above their circumstances—if simply given the chance.

Incredibly simple, delicious recipes that encourage healthy ageing
and boost immunity, based on Manju Malhi's popular Open Age cookery

lifestyle and eating a balanced diet is an important part of
maintaining good health. It helps to reduces risk of disease,
infection and other illnesses. But, above all, it can help you feel
your best. As we get older, many of us find our appetite shrinks
because our energy output lessens. However, our fundamental needs
haven't changed. Even if you have a smaller appetite and require
fewer calories, your body still needs the right vitamins, minerals
and nutrients to sustain you. Manju Malhi wants to inspire people
of all ages to enjoy the time they spend in the kitchen and view
cooking as a joy instead of a chore, and she has been awarded the
British Empire Medal for her work with Open Age. The Seasoned
Foodie is a collection of dishes that are easy to follow and will
satisfy both your dietary needs and your love of good food, however
young you feel. Inside you will find simple, tasty recipes that
pack maximum nutrition, such as: - Scandi-style Salmon with Pickled

yearn for a traditional creamy tomato, a spicy fish chowder or a
deliciously umami-rich ramen, a mug of soup is the perfect supper

great-tasting soup has to involve long cooking with big pans and
bulk ingredients, right? Wrong! Every soup in this book has been
specially created to suit the microwave and to be cooked in a
single mug, ready to eat. Instead of opening up a can, you can have
an even yummier home-cooked mushroom soup, or chicken, even
minestrone - made fresh in just the same amount of time.
