Baby Greens with Warm Goat Cheese,
Roasted Salmon, Cauliflower Purée, and
Chocolate Rum Pudding
A feast fit for a Queen; and I am the Queen of my castle...
While thumbing through this book I came upon Dinner for One: Be Your Guest, which was perfect since I was on my own for dinner this evening. Under this section they have two options to choose from. Though we just had salmon the night before, I chose the salmon dinner rather than the steak dinner.
The menu consists of Baby Greens with Warm Goat Cheese, which I have always wanted to try and glad I did. Roasted Salmon (which I forgot to top off with the snipped chives and tarragon!), Cauliflower Purée, which turned out more like baby food than mashed potatoes like the picture showed, but very flavorful, and Chocolate Rum Pudding.
I found cooking for one was a bit of a challenge. With minimal amounts to whisk, stir, simmer, etc., you need to use smaller pots, pans, and utensils. Thank goodness for all the mini tools I received in my Christmas stocking over the years and the small pots and pans that get pushed to the back of the cupboard from little or no use.
You can easily double everything and share this wonderful meal with the King of your castle.

This pan is no bigger than
the burner itself.
When you need to pour with one hand,
while whisking constantly with the other,
it helps to place a towel under your bowl
to keep it from sliding around.
