"I am hooked on this book. It confirms once again that we humans are endlessly confounding and entertaining creatures. Deborah and her husband, artist Patrick McFarlin, blow the covers of food pros in revealing what they eat when no one's around. Then they move on to friends and acquaintances. You'll smile knowingly, muse a lot, maybe blush, get very hungry and probably end up in the kitchen, enjoying every bite of eating alone. This is another keeper from Deborah Madison."

"A fine romance between a Yankee cook and a Southern artist, whose love of friends and of each other is as clear as their love of food." -Betty Fussell, author of Raising Steaks: The Life & Times of American Beef
"I consider eating alone a greater hazard than drinking alone. Then along comes this book, which makes canceling my dinner date tonight in favor of a fried egg on asparagus in an armchair seem like the most desirable thing on earth!"
-Laura Calder, television host and food writer
"This is a perfectly charming book, loaded with easy-to-try recipes. I love the notion of exploring our lonely- or alone-eating life. And the illustrations are scrumptious-vivid, funny, bold."
-Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones
"A truly unique book . . . and there's no reason to doubt that the recipes live up to the quality of the text and the genius of the sketches."
-Patrick Oliphant, artist, cartoonist, and card-carrying vegetarian
