Joe Yonan is Food and Travel editor for The Washington Post where he writes the column "
Cooking for One." His popular book,
Serve Yourself: Nightly Adventures in Cooking for One, is a delightful sojourn into the world of cooking for one, not only because of the book's recipes, sound cooking advice, and encouraging words for those of us who cook primarily for ourselves, but also because of its engaging writing and thoughtful reflection.
I learned about Mr. Yonan's book while listening to one of my favorite radio shows,
Splendid Table, from American Public Media. Host Lynn Rossetto Kasper
interviewed the chef and journalist and put together a short but powerful five-minute bite that led me right to devouring his book. (The April 7
Splendid Table interview begins at the 27-minute mark.)
