Inspired by the current public fascination with single women, Single Lives traces the relationship between modern and contemporary representations of single women. The original essays collected here analyze a broad range of texts that examine the ways films, cookbooks, archives, popular literature, and other British and American texts express norms, ideals, and challenges for single women and their relationship to dominant ideals of marriage and the family. This volume looks backwards to constellate existing scholarship, constituent fields, and unrecognized single voices and forward to consider new methods for interdisciplinary singles studies.

“[A] single person’s guide to cooking without compromise. This cookbook reframes cooking, which can seem like a chore, as a form of self-care.”—Library Journal At a time when 31 million American adults live alone, Klancy Miller is here to show that cooking for one is something to embrace. While making single servings from other cookbooks means scaling down ingredients, adjusting cooking times, or being stuck with leftovers, Cooking Solo gives readers just what they need to make a delicious meal—all for themselves. Among the few other “cooking for one” books, this is the first by a hip young woman, whose vibrance and enthusiasm for cooking for herself comes through in the 100 attractive recipes like Tahitian Noodle Sandwich, Smoked Duck Breast Salad, Spicy Pork Burger with Coconut, and Mackerel with Lemon and Capers. Klancy also includes a chapter on entertaining at home, because being single still means having fun with friends. “This is a smart, fun, user-friendly cookbook with great recipes for solo cooks. I love that Klancy encourages people to find their groove cooking for one and that she believes in sharing that same pleasure and delicious food with others.”—Marcus Samuelsson, award-winning chef-owner of Red Rooster Harlem and Uptown Brasserie “Taking inspiration from her travels, family, and day-to-day life, Klancy Miller has created a wonderful collection of recipes that will surely inspire you to prepare meals for yourself at home. Cooking for oneself is more rewarding than ever with this book open on your counter.”—Julia Turshen, author of Now & Again: Go-To Recipes, Inspired Menus & Endless Ideas for Reinventing Leftovers

From Diane Morgan's summer favorite Salmon and Corn Chowder and Roland Passot's classic Coq au Vin to Bruce Aidells' Chicken and Andouille Gumbo and Suzanne Goin's flavorful Chilled Red Pepper Soup, you'll find the perfect soup or stew all year long. And the best part? A portion of the proceeds will go to NextCourse, a nonprofit organization that promotes sustainable food in public institutions, including the Community Education Program, which works with women in the San Francisco County Jail and with child-care providers, and the Food from the Parks program, which collaborates with state and national park services to increase the amount of locally produced food available to park visitors. So grab your spoon and a copy of 'Soup's On' and know that as you nourish yourself, you'll be feeding others as well."--taken from front cover flap.
