[America's Test Kitchen] [View in a Web browser]( 10 Years in Print, Over 700,000 Copies Sold The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook, 10th Anniversary Edition [The Complete Cooking for Two, 10th Anniversary book cover alongside a photo of Chicken Pot Pies.]( Revised & expanded, with 700+ recipes including plant-based and air-fryer favorites [Order Now]( Dear fellow home cook, When America’s Test Kitchen published The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook in 2014 it was an instant hit, landing on the New York Times best-seller list, garnering more than 6,000 rave reviews on Amazon, and going on to sell 700,000 copies. The book changed the game on cooking for two: We did the math to re-engineer every part of the meal (from soups and stews to cakes and pies) so everyone could enjoy perfectly sized recipes with less waste and leftovers—and save some money while they were at it. [New! Air Fryer recipes. New! Plant-based picks. And more desserts!]( Now, the book is back with a handsome, revised update: With more than 200 new recipes (and more than 700 recipes in total), [The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook, 10th Anniversary Edition]( reflects a more global palate, with more plant-based offerings and an exciting roster of air-fryer recipes on top of the many innovative recipes that made this such a revolutionary title in the first place (cue loaf pan lasagna and ramekin chicken pot pie). For good reason, it’s become a perennial must-have for newlyweds and recent college graduates as well as empty nesters.

Chief Creative Officer.] A 30-page Manual Teaches the Basics of Cooking for Two A reference section at the beginning of the book puts “complete” in The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook, 10th Anniversary Edition, and makes this an all-purpose resource for home cooks. We include clever shopping strategies such as replacing canned or packaged broth with shelf-stable concentrates (use only what you need and keep the rest indefinitely) or picking your produce at the salad bar to avoid leftovers that wilt in your crisper drawer. Smart storage tips —including our top 20 list of things you didn’t know you could freeze—help extend freshness for key ingredients. [Freezing herbs, freezing ginger and storing scallions]( We offer recommendations on handy and essential kitchen equipment for any two-person household, and provide emergency substitutions and tips for faster and easier prep. An easy-to-read “Bottom-of-the-Jar Sauces and Condiments” chart helps you transform that last bit of jam, mayo, miso, and other jarred ingredients into flavor-boosted sauces, vinaigrettes, glazes, and toppings. [Bottom-of-the-Jar Sauces and Condiments Chart]( Our “Use it up” recipe charts organized by ingredient provide at-a-glance recipe ideas for using leftover ingredients such as half a can of beans, a cup of buttermilk, or ricotta. Page numbers make it easy to find the recipe you’re looking for. [Charts for Recipes Using up Ricotta and Recipes Using up Buttermilk]( Lasagna that won’t wear out its welcome [Classic Lasagna]( Total Time: 1 1/2 hours, plus 20 minutes cooling Sometimes you just need to look at an old favorite in a new way. Take our Classic Lasagna . A full pan of this family favorite would feed two people for a week, so we re-engineered the recipe to serve two by making it into a loaf pan lasagna. A few ingredients added to the sauce give us a velvety texture reminiscent of a Bolognese sauce, meatloaf mix (a combination of ground beef, veal, and pork) adds more flavor and richness than ground beef alone, and no-boil lasagna noodles are a timesaver and fit neatly into the pan. Not too much, not too little—just right. Shopping & Storage Tips [Parmesan]( Buying Parmesan: When shopping, make sure some portion of the words “Parmigiano-Reggiano” is stenciled on the golden rind. Examine the condition of the rind. The rind of a properly aged cheese should be a few shades darker than the straw-colored interior and penetrate about ½ inch deep. Storing Parmesan: We found that the best way to preserve its flavor and texture is to wrap it in parchment paper and then aluminum foil. Rich, savory flavors in one pan [Modern Beef Pot Pie with Mushrooms and Sherry]( Total Time: 2 hours We created a simplified version of beef pot pie by browning boneless short ribs in a 10-inch broiler-safe skillet and then used the leftover fat to cook the carrots and onion. Just a tablespoon of canned tomato paste (the rest can be frozen for future use) adds savory richness to the dish. To satisfy our craving for crust without requiring another pan (or additional time), we topped the filling with slices of crusty bread brushed with oil and sprinkled with Gruyere cheese. Broiling crisps the toast, browning the cheesy top. Befriend Your Freezer Did you know you can freeze anchovies, buttermilk, fresh ginger, egg whites, and more? With this book by your side, you’ll be able to shop your freezer!

These recipes yield just the right amount for two. [Order Now]( Bright flavors and fresh ingredients [Turmeric Scallops with Mango Noodle Salad]( Total Time: 35 minutes This recipe dials up the flavor to bring excitement to rich, buttery seared scallops. We created an unusual (but instantly craveworthy) vermicelli noodle salad with a turmeric-lime dressing sweetened with a touch of honey. Sweet mango pieces (fresh or frozen work well) and crisp slices of cucumber boost both flavor and texture.

We wanted a recipe for just four fluffy, tender, snowy-white cupcakes. Using cake flour and doubling up on leaveners ensured that our cupcakes had golden, rounded tops and a tender crumb. Melting the butter meant we could just stir all the ingredients together in one bowl instead of pulling out an electric mixer. Finish with our Vanilla Frosting or Chocolate Frosting. (Both recipes are perfectly scaled so you won’t have too much left over).
