Eat Your Vegetables: Bold Recipes for the Single Cook [A Cookbook]

Joe Yonan is author of Serve Yourself: Nightly Adventures in Cooking for One (Ten Speed Press, 2011), which Serious Eats , the San Francisco Chronicle , and blogger David Lebovitz named one of their favorite books of the year. The book was an outgrowth of his monthly column, Cooking for One, for The Washington Post , where he is Food and Travel editor. Before working at the Post, Joe was a food writer and Travel editor at The Boston Globe . His writing for the Post and the Globe has appeared in multiple editions of the Best Food Writing anthology, and he has won awards from the James Beard Foundation for best newspaper food section, the Society of American Travel Writers for best large-circulation newspaper travel section, and from the Association of Food Journalists for his Cooking for One column. Born in Georgia and raised in West Texas, he got the cooking bug from his Indiana-born mother, who let him shop for the family groceries starting at age 8 and indulged his demands to use her stand mixer because he thought it was so cool. He spent 2012 living with his sister and brother-in-law in southern Maine to learn about (and help with) their homestead, where they are trying to grow as much of their food as possible. Joe holds a professional chef’s diploma from the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts outside Boston and a bachelor of journalism from the University of Texas at Austin. He lives in Washington, DC.
