A unique work of literary and culinary joie de vivre, part food memoir, part recipe book, French Cooking for One is a personal and quirky take on Édouard de Pomiane's classic. With over 160 recipes, including a majority of vegetarian ones, with piquant storytelling and feminist wit, this is a working cook's book with French flair, bursting with life.

French cuisine, classic though it is, still holds delicious surprises worth exploring. Whether cooking for one on a daily or an occasional basis, cooking well for yourself means cherishing yourself and your appetites, joyously giving yourself pleasure, opening yourself to new experiences. This book will encourage you to do all that.

Mixed in with the recipes are stories and vignettes of Michèle Roberts’ childhood in Normandy and her life in Mayenne, Pays de la Loire, plus original ink drawings full of charm and humour.
