America's Table sets the 2010 Table for Two in this popular annual cookbook. Scaling back recipes that serve 8 or more to serve 2 doesn't always mean simple division. It can mean adjusting spices in various ways, using different pans and utensils, and utilizing ingredients in smarter, more cost effective ways.

The test cooks at America's Test Kitchen take our best recipes from throughout the year and scale them back for two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource

I love having this cookbook for preparing quick and easy meals for just the two us. It has helpful tips so ingredients don't go to waste-like what recipes calls for canned tomatoes and how much so you can plan accordingly and not waste ingredients. I have really liked the polenta recipes (and it was my first time cooking polenta). There are lots of different types of dinners and more than just entrees, there are even smaller portion desserts and a section on what tools to have on hand for smaller size dishes (especially useful for baking recipes). I would recommend this to anyone cooking for just two on a regular basis.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully put together cookbook for the not-so-together cook.
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2010

This is my first America's Test Kitchen book, and I am really pleased with the amount of information included with the recipes. It's just like a Cook's Illustrated magazine, with all the tips/notes, and suggestions on their favorite utensils and such. Very useful for me, who is utterly clueless when it comes to cooking.

And I do enjoy the "use it up" section, as mentioned in another review. It's nice to not have to come up with something on my own to use up half a can of this or 2/3 jar of that. I can just go to that section, look up whatever it is I have leftover ingredients for, and see the list of recipes that include that ingredient, in that amount.

I really like the section that has a main recipe (like Roast chicken) and two or three additional recipes to use the leftover meat. I like that it tells you how much to portion out for those additional recipes in the initial recipe. I need straight-forward directions like that. :) The chicken turned out very tasty by the way!

Anyway, it's beautifully layed out, although they could have done a slightly better job in the tips, directing a reader/cook to where the notes are, when they mention "see note". Sometimes the note they are referring to in a tip is a few pages away. But that's being picky.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely outstanding cookbook!

I'm an avid lover of Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country. But I am also a single guy, meaning I hardly ever find myself in a position where I need to cook meals capable of feeding 6-8 people. Low and behold, my favorite company in the world (America's Test Kitchen is part of the above) also saw a need for us without a large family.

This book does more than just cut the great recipes down that you would normally find on the website. This is a collection, completely re-engineered by the Test Kitchen to make a phenomenal dish for you plus one. It still carries the air that you may already be familiar with as well -- explanations of WHY you are doing things; addressing issues when recipes are cut down -- if you are an avid fan of the brand. Similarly, you can always count on the recipes in here being absolutely bulletproof. Some of the best meals I have ever made, or eaten for that matter, have come from this cookbook and/or brand.

But it just doesn't stop there. It addresses one of my major complaints about cooking smaller meals: often, you are left with ingredients that are slightly obscure and have no idea what to do with them. But they've even thought of that. At the beginning of the book (and often after recipes), you will find recipes and a cross-reference guide on what to do with that 1/2 an onion left over from last night's dinner.

I have no connection to the brand, mind you. I am just an avid fan. I recommend this cookbook to anyone that it could possibly apply to. If you don't have a small army to feed, are tired of wasting food, and want one of the best cookbooks money can buy, purchase this TODAY!

Too many recipes with hard to find ingredients for some who doesn't live in a large city. Definitely not simple fare for palates that prefer ordinary home-coked meals. Only found 2 recipes I wanted to make.

This is our fourth America's Test Kitchen book and our second Cooking for Two book and we love all of them. There's a little bit of overlap (which is to be expected given that a few of our books are from the same year) but the recipes are outstanding. We've been happy with everything we've made from the book, even when making dishes that are out of our comfort zone taste-wise. I really appreciate that the recipes are written with an awareness of time involved. I also feel like I'm learning something when I use ATK books which is an added bonus.

I'm still learning to cook and so reading their recipes with all the reasons why they do things the way they do really helps me on a couple of levels. All recipes come with explanations of what they tried that didn't work as well as what does work. The recipes are decent and they tell you what to do with left over ingredients, since the recipes often don't use a full can of this or that. Like all test kitchen books, they recommend their favorite utensils as well as foods. You don't have to agree but it's a nice place to start when you are standing in the pasta aisle and see 8 different brands...good to know that Basilla makes their favorite whole wheat lasagna (I may be off on this factoid...that's why you should buy the book)! I checked it out of library first to see if I wanted it. I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just about everything in this series is amazing!

Between the 2009 and 2010 books, there's been a total of one recipe that we've tried that we wouldn't make again, and that was more than likely our own fault for attempting to modify the recipe without trying it in its original form first.
After picking up the 2009 sampler edition, we went out and bought the 2009 book straight away and the 2010 book as soon as it came out and have pre-ordered the 2011 book.

I love the explanations of WHY certain ingredients and methods are used, as opposed to the standard issue 'do this, not that' with no reasoning. It appeals to the science wonk in me.

Even the simplest recipes for things like hamburgers turn out excellent when you follow the recipe.

I do with that in the summary section, they'd include wait times for marinades and such, as often, i've started making a recipe without reading ahead and come across 'let sit for 90 minutes' or something similar.
