Recipes Every Man Should Know (Stuff You Should Know)

My husband ordered this because my son swears by it ! I will admit the spaghetti sauce in this little black book is absolutely delicious and will make you eat more than you need. Yummy

I just received my book the other day and was so excited to see how perfect it was for my husband. He recently showed a hint of interest in the kitchen and I was not about to let the opportunity slide. This book is exactly what he needed - it is pocket sized, black, and not frilly at all. The recipes are not intimidating and are all the kinds of things that my husband loves to eat. He actually made us the pan-fried steak and bacon mashed potatoes from it last night (even doing his own grocery shopping for it) and was so proud of himself (and it was really good)!! Love it! And what guy could resist bacon with brownies... or beer in chili? Oh, and make sure not to miss the Introduction page...hysterical.

I ordered three of these - one each for two of my brothers and one for my husband. These are really fun cookbooks! I only gave 4 stars because, in this case, size matters. While this is a GREAT compact book, it is a little small, even for me (and I don't mind small print). If you have a recipient who needs larger print, this is not the book for them. However, small size aside, this cookbook is full of wonderful recipes that are right up a man's alley. There are even a few recipes I am interested in trying myself! This is not for brand new cooks, but it's not filled with recipes that are too difficult for the occassional cook. I would highly recommend getting this for the man in your life! It's a quirky, fun book filled with great recipes that are sure to please.

This little book is an excellent guidebook for the guy who wants to be self sufficient in the kitchen, but doesn't know where to start. Contains a list of essential kitchen utensils, appliances, dishes, and cookware, so even if you have nothing but this book, it'll get you to the next level. Kinda short on recipes, but good variety of basic dishes.

Regardless of the value of the recipes, this book is too small to be practical. There is no way to open it to a page and have the book remain open without breaking the book's spine. This makes it necessary to copy the recipe to a sheet of paper and then read from the paper. I should have read the description more carefully. If there is an edition available, other than the pocket edition, I wish I had purchased it.

Before reading this book, I thought microwaved hot dogs were the gourmet way to a woman's heart: boy was I wrong! Men, listen up, this book has everything you need to know to turn a saucy dinner into a saucy night. I use to think nothing could be better than IHOP and Denny's, but now I see that nothing can be better than home cooked chocolate chip pancakes. And I used to think it couldn't get better than Burger King until I followed the hamburger recipe in this book. Two works: WOWIE ZOWIE! After using this book, my wife cannot get enough of my spaghetti and meatballs, followed with a milkshake for dessert.

Good item as advertised

When I open my package I was shocked in a good way on how cute this pocket type book was. My nineteen-year-old will truly enjoy it and my forty-three-year-old husband was jealous that I didn't get him one. I would just like to have one to put in the bathroom for people to read it is too darn cute with size and it being a hard back. The recipes inside are also very nice and very doable for anyone
