The Real Man's Cookbook: How, When, What and Why to Cook

Do real men cook? Of course they do. From the great chefs of France to the rough-and-tumble short-order cooks, real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries.

In The Real Man's Cookbook W. J. Rayment explains (in terms a real man can understand) how to cook, when to cook, what to cook, and even why to cook. With dry wit and wisdom, he dishes out recipes, reflects on the state of society, and solves the world's most pressing problems. He points out how chicken in a Gorgonzola sauce can bring us peace in our time. His bean soup recipe is a sure fix for the energy crisis.

This valuable volume contains such original recipes as French Squish Sandwiches and Potatoes O’Diana, as well as old favorites like Slop-on-the-Shingle, Beef Potpie, Roast Beast, Shepherd's Pie, Bacon-Wrapped Baked Potatoes, and Spaghetti. These recipes are fresh, easy, and pass the most crucial test of all -- they taste good.
