A Real Man’s Cookbook

Book excerpt: It’s time for all you alpha males out there to put on your pinnies and get cooking. November 1 is National Men Make Dinner Day. This annual call to action takes place on the first Thursday of every November. The fun event encourages men of all ages to get into the kitchen and prepare a home cooked dinner for the whole family. The basic rules are straightforward: • All main meals must have at least 4 ingredients and need at least one other cooking utensil other than a fork. • The man of the house must go shopping for all the ingredients. • He must clean up as he cooks. A Real Man’s Cookbook is great for all levels of cooks from beginners to would-be Gordon Ramsay's. There are lots of appetizers, mains, and desserts that can be made easily and with the minimum of effort and fuss. We have no-bake cakes, casseroles, pan to plate dishes and slow cook gourmet meals. So, on this National Men Make Dinner Day, set the table, light the candles, pour the drinks and make a meal of it!
