Critics Review
“As a connoisseur of cooking shows, cookbooks, and single-serve recipes that don’t require an abacus, I am excited to be invited to Party for One. In her clever, accessible, and delightfully down-to-earth offering, Meredith Dawson welcomes each of us to enjoy the art of dining alone without being lonely. From salty snacks and hearty mains to craveable desserts, she has written a winner–and a lifesaver.” –Stacey Abrams, New York Times bestselling author, producer, and political leader
“As a single gal, I jumped for joy at a cookbook that is all about making food for one person. Y’all know how many carrots I killed cuz I couldn’t eat/use them fast enough? A LOT! Anyway, Meredith’s wit and easy-to-follow recipes make cooking loads of fun and delicious. Also, this book is cute as hell! Even if you’re not in the mood to cook, you’ll wanna chill on your couch and just flip through this book! It’s a win-win!” –Phoebe Robinson, New York Times bestselling author and actress
“If only I’d had this book when I was single. Having spent way too much money eating out because all the recipes I had served four people, Party for One would have been a godsend. Meredith’s dishes are delicious, her writing is tons of fun, and you’ll have lots of extra room in your now leftovers-less fridge. Happy cooking!” –Paul Feig, filmmaker and author of Cocktail Time: The Ultimate Guide to Grown-Up Fun
