These dishes are for the days when you want to set the table for two and focus on someone special. From uncomplicated-but-outstanding in Part I, to over-the-top-but-no-stress cooking in Part II, Table for Two helps you impress at breakfast, lunch, aperitivo, dinner, and dessert. With illustrated essays on topics like the simple pleasure of a delivery pizza, and breathtaking, multi-course menus catering for special occasions, Table for Two guides you through the moments you want to say- "I love you, let me feed you something that will make you feel good".
