Dimly Lit Meals for One is an anthology of despair for all the people out there who have ever seasoned a dish with the bitter salt of their own tears. Based on the popular tumblr this book features never-before-seen photographs of humanity at its lowest culinary ebb, accompanied by tragicomic stories that will either leave you crying with laughter, or just crying (` Dimly Lit Meals for One will make you laugh till you`re no longer hungry`
- Washington Post). Inside these pages you`ll meet a cast of colourless characters trapped in a kitchen hell of their own devising, witness their struggles to fulfil their recommended five a day, & marvel at how much human misery can be heaped onto a single plate. Fuelled by the author`s first-hand experience at the dark heart of miserable food photography, Dimly Lit Meals for One is the culmination of `one man`s quest to chronicle the most depressing dinners on the internet.` (Buzzfeed). Bigger, sadder, & funnier than ever before, this book serves up bite-sized portions of hilarity & heartbreak alongside some of the most inept food photography ever seen. You`ll think differently about the dinnertimes you`ve spent bathed in the radioactive glow of the microwave &, perhaps you`ll even be inspired to share your own dimly lit meals with the rest of the world. Or not.
