Introduction
Face it, cooking for a crowd is tough. Lots of work, many different tastes, and tons of dirty dishes make this task a bit of a chore even for the most enthusiastic cooks. Cooking for one, on the other hand, often kills inspiration and creativity as the solo diner prepares the meal alone and eats alone.
However, the addition of another person transforms the dining experience. Cooking for two is just the right-sized task. Whether the second diner is a spouse, family member, or friend, the cook can easily express his or her love for that person by creating something special, quickly.
Set the mood. If romance is the goal and a meal is one of the vehicles to get there, be aware that the food is just one component of the meal. Flowers speak volumes. Some carefully placed blooms on the table can prove quite the mood enhancer. Sprinkle some rose petals on the table, or put a few large flower tops in glass bowls with floating candles. Also, nasturtiums and other edible flowers can adorn salads and plates and be eaten as a fragrant aphrodisiac. Light the fire of love. Candles are important. Everyone looks more beautiful and sensual in candlelight. Some small votive candles on the table, or even scattered about the room, will provide the mood you want.
All fifty recipes here serve two, though occasionally there are tips on how to prepare dishes in larger quantities. We’ve provided a list of recipes pared down to serve just two people so the two of you can enjoy each other’s company over a fabulous meal. So please, come in and sit down. Your table for two is ready!
Lime and Cilantro Crab Salad
While it may seem counterintuitive, make sure you purchase an unripe avocado for this dish; otherwise, it’ll turn to mush in the skillet!
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for garnish
1 unripe Haas avocado, peeled and cut into chunks
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, washed and dried
¹⁄2 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked through for bits of shells, but left as large as possible
Juice of 1 lime
About ¹⁄2 teaspoon seeded and finely chopped jalapeño pepper
Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
