It's funny, I never tire of reading about food and people's experiences related to it. When reader Keavy suggested I might like Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant, I went ahead and picked it up. I like to pace my reading, so usually I'll read something a little dense and then read something that's a bit lighter to give my brain a break. I picked this book up right after reading Omnivore's Dilemma and it was the perfect fix after reading such an information laden book.
Alone in the Kitchen is a collection of people's experiences eating and cooking for themselves. They range from funny to comforting to a little depressing, but all are worth the read. Each story is also followed up by a recipe related to the story. Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant is a great, quick read. Definitely worth a read.

It’s a great book to read in stages. I once had a long business trip that required several flights, this book was a perfect companion.
