Jenni (Lapidus) Ferrari-Adler, MFA'06, editor
Alone in the Kitchen With an Eggplant: Confessions of Cooking for One and Dining Alone, Riverhead Books, 2007.
The book: All of us, at some point in our lives, will eat alone. And, thanks to Jenni Ferrari-Adler, it can be an adventure. In this collection of witty, poignant and humorous essays, 26 writers and "foodies" (including author Nora Ephron and chef Marcella Hazan) invite us not only into their kitchens, but also their lives. From Thailand to New York to Michigan to Cape Cod, this collection of essays is as diverse, moving and inspiring as the recipes they provide, making it a welcome companion for anyone who is happy, sad, even just plain hungry, and dining alone.
The author: Jenni Ferrari-Adler has a literary and culinary background, having worked as a reader for The Paris Review, an assistant at a literary agency and a creative writing teacher at U-M. She also studied cooking at the French Culinary Institute and The Natural Gourmet. She currently lives in Brooklyn, New York.
