Summary
"Men should be able to prepare some basic meals either for their family or for themselves. My father—God rest his soul—could not boil water without burning it. He could make almost anything out of sheet-metal but could not make any kind of food."
Does this sound like a man you know?
This book is intended for anyone who finds themselves in the position of needing to cook. This could be a spouse who suddenly needs to start preparing some meals, or a son or daughter who is going off to school and will need to prepare their own meals. The book takes them through some basic meal planning as well as having almost 100 dishes that are easy to prepare and taste great.
The book covers simple breakfast—including the author's mother's cinnamon rolls, appetizers—including guacamole, easy salads—including potato salad and cole slaw, entrees—including his barbeque sauce, and then desserts—but don't read that chapter, especially "Death by Chocolate".
"Men, with the recipes in this cookbook, with relatively little effort you will be able to prepare some basic meals and snacks for yourself, for your family, for your buddies, or at least, to impress a date. There's nothing really fancy in here—just good food that everybody likes."
The recipes are spelled out in a simple, step-by-step process. If you go through the recipes in this book and master them, you will also see ways that you can tailor them to your own tastes. You will also be in a position to get more out of your favorite TV cooking program or your favorite cookbook.
