Product Description

Review

"A wickedly funny manifesto for the hungry single girl that makes solo dining effortless as well as fabulous, with musings on the catering industries of New York, LA, Paris and London, where Pirret was a chef at Jamie Oliver's restaurant, Fifteen." --Marie Claire (UK)<br /><br />'...it doesn't have to be complicated to be delicious.' 'Minimal mess, perfect meals, and a kicker for your health at the same time. This is solitary eating at its best.'
--Men's Health, June 2009<br /><br />'n her first book, The Pleasure is All Mine, she is savage on the subject of rude guests, poor table manners and unappreciative recipients of her carefully prepared dishes. --The Daily Telegraph

5.0 out of 5 stars Sassy, sexy and great fun, 27 Jul 2009
By Valdemar (London) - See all my reviews
I have cookbooks that I will use more often, but few that I enjoy more this. Rattlingly well-written with some wonderfully indulgent recipes, Suzanne Pirret is the lovechild of Anthony Bourdain and Angelina Jolie.

Not one to give a kid who can't boil an egg as a going to university present perhaps, but if you love food, and believe you need a shamelessly selfish treat, this comes highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Pleasure is All Mine: Selfish Food for Modern Life, 24 Jul 2009
By M. D. Forgan (Surrey, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book disappointing - ingredients for the recipes were often obscure in the U.K. and unobtainable for people who do not live in a major city.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Pleasure is All Ours, 6 Jul 2009
By Dr. W. Garvie (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a terrific book. In fact, it's the most innovative cookbook of the year. It mixes hilarious tales with simple recipes that make the creation of some sublime dishes seem effortless and easy. The writing is witty,sexy and clever and for once this is a cookbook that doesn't need any photographs. Well done Suzanne, what a great achievement. More please - and let's not have to wait too long....
