Inhaltsangabe:

Renowned vegetarian cookbook auhor Deborah Madison set out to learn what people chew on when there isn't anyone else around. The responses are surprising—and we aren't just talking take-out or leftovers. This is food-gone-wild in its most elemental form.

In a conversational tone, What We Eat When We Eat Alone explores the joys and sorrows of eating solo and gives a glimpse into the lives of everyday people and their relationships with food.

The book is illustrated with the delightful art of Patrick McFarlin, and each chapter ends with recipes for those who dine alone.

Von der hinteren Coverseite:

"I am hooked on this book. You'll smile knowingly, muse a lot, maybe blush, get hungry and probably end up in the kitchen, enjoying every bite of eating alone. This is another keeper from Deborah Madison."

-Lynne Rosetto Kasper, Host of public radio's national food show, The Splendid Table® from American Public Media

"A truly intimate, startling, funny, and genuinely subversive book."

-Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall

"A fine romance between a Yankee cook and a Southern artist, whose love of friends and of each other is as clear as their love of food." -Betty Fussell, author of Raising Steaks: The Life & Times of American Beef

"I consider eating alone a greater hazard than drinking alone. Then along comes this book, which makes canceling my dinner date tonight in favor of a fried egg on asparagus in an armchair seem like the most desirable thing on earth!"

-Laura Calder, television host and food writer

"This is a perfectly charming book, loaded with easy-to-try recipes. I love the notion of exploring our lonely- or alone-eating life. And the illustrations are scrumptious-vivid, funny, bold."

-Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones

"A truly unique book . . . and there's no reason to doubt that the recipes live up to the quality of the text and the genius of the sketches."

-Patrick Oliphant, artist, cartoonist, and card-carrying vegetarian
