Around Our Table For Two: Heirloom Cooking, Time Honored Techniques, Nourishing Traditions, Local Flair
Around Our Table for Two is a love letter to cooking when the table is smaller but the meaning is just as big.
Cooking for two isn't about simply cutting recipes in half-it's about connection. It's how we care for one another, remember where we came from, and create new traditions in the season of life we're in. In Around Our Table for Two, Pam Werley celebrates heirloom cooking reimagined for today's smaller households.
Inspired by her grandmothers' and aunts' Nebraska farm tables-where food was generous, practical, and made with love-along with a lifetime of travel and a deep connection to her Minnesota food community, Pam shares recipes that honor time-tested techniques while embracing fresh, seasonal ingredients and modern flavors.
These are thoughtfully scaled, carefully tested recipes designed for two people who want great food without hours of planning, shopping, or cooking. Drawing on her years working alongside Betty Crocker recipe testers and food scientists, Pam provides clear instructions, practical tips, and recipes that actually work-no guesswork, no unnecessary fuss, and no sink full of regret.
Each dish tells a story-of family, friendship, and the quiet joy that happens when we cook for someone we love. From cherished classics passed down through generations to new favorites inspired by global cuisines, this book reflects a life lived at the table.
Whether you're an empty nester rediscovering weeknight dinners, a couple cooking together for the first time, or simply someone who believes cooking for two deserves just as much care as cooking for a crowd, Around Our Table for Two invites you to slow down, cook with intention, and rediscover the meaning of gathering-just the two of you.
Because when there are two at the table, the food still matters. And sometimes, it matters even more.
