BOOKS BY KLANCY MILLER
“Klancy’s playful, engaging book turns cooking for one from a chore into an occasion, and her sophisticated palate informs each of the restaurant-quality recipes. This book is an inspiration for anyone who has ever stood alone in the kitchen and wished for something more than a heat-and-eat meal: It’s a corner table for one without ever leaving the house.”
— ELLEN YIN
