Book Description

Publication Date: May 2, 2006

With more than a million copies of the A Man, A Can series sold, the newest addition breaks out from the kitchen and heads to sporting events nationwide

"Dude, this cookbook is for you," cheered the Detroit News when A Man, A Can, A Plan first appeared. Next came A Man, A Can, A Grill, and Andrew Schloss, author of Dinner's Ready, welcomed the flavorful barbecue fare as "real food - so good that no one will ever guess your secret is in the can." Sports-minded, culinarily challenged dudes, especially those who were among the 30 million Americans who tailgated this year, will find terrific game-day recipes in this latest book. And it's perfect as a Father's Day and graduation gift!

A Man, A Can, A Tailgate Plan presents 50 simple, tailgate-friendly recipes for munchies and soups, plus chicken, beef, and port entrees perfect for any pregame party. While many of the dishes can be fired up on the grill, tailgaters can prepare dips and desserts at home that are easily transported, or they can opt for tailgating's Holy Grail - the deep-fried turkey. With these step-by-step instructions and full-color photographs, tailgaters can create a spread of appetizers and entrees that will be the envy of the parking lot.

I just bought this cookbook at my son's book fair this afternoon and am already loving it! The recipes are easy, fast and completely tailored after a man's appetite requirements (think meat and potatoes) . Since I am the only female in a house of men, this type of cookbook is exactly what I was looking for. It contains 50 simple meals and snacks that men will adore-what more could a woman ask for? Buy this if you want the man in your life to be amazed at your sudden culinary skills or to give to a college bound son or nephew who is in need of fast, easy, filling fare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Cookbook for Men and Women!, February 6, 2007

This review is from: A Man, A Can, A Tailgate Plan: 50 Easy Game Time Recipes That Are Sure to Please (Board book)

This is a great cookbook for anyone who is learning how to cook, or for someone who wants quick simple recipes!
Very few ingrediant recipes, that also include pictures of the ingrediants needed, such as a can of tuna. It gives a new cook a picture so they know what to look for at the store.
The recipes are also created so that they are healthy, which is always what I am looking for.
I would recomend this cookbook for anyone!

For Xmas, I gave the Man & Can series to my college-age sons who are moving into "landlord" housing this semester. These cookbooks, with their easy to follow, illustrated recipes, prove that cooking is not hard and can be fun! Cooking for yourself is a lot cheaper and healthier than fast food. These cookbooks give them a place to start! They were really tickled with the gift, even though, their buddies thought it a bit odd. My sons told me that their buddies will appreciate the books, too, once they are eating the good food made from them!
