4.0 out of 5 stars
Fun book, easy to read, good to eat! (The food. Not the book.)
This is a terrific book... although I need to be more adventurous about trying new recipes, the ones I HAVE tried have been dandy. I REALLY like that this book taught me how to hold a knife (heck, how to BUY a knife), how to cut an onion the right way... little things that make cooking much, much easier. Cooking: it does a marriage good...

Entertaining, Non-threatening , Delicious but no Pictures
Sorry Wayne, I love you but.... Our 10 year old son gave this book to his dad this Christmas. My husband enjoys an ocassionaly foray into the kitchen but he's not much into reading.

This review is from: See Dad Cook: The Only Book a Guy Needs to Feed Family and Friends (and Himself) (Paperback)
Sorry Wayne, I love you but....
Our 10 year old son gave this book to his dad this Christmas. My husband enjoys an ocassionaly foray into the kitchen but he's not much into reading. I think this book would be more interesting to him if there was less talk and more pictures. As it is, I'm the one who's enjoying and using this book. I would have given this book 4 or even 5 stars were it not for one serious flaw - it doesn't have pictures! In a book written for men I think that's a big oversight. Many men are visual learners. If this book is meant for beginner or reluctant cooks then photos or detailed illustrations would be most helpful. Besides, men generally feast with their eyes. Photos of plated dishes can help them choose what they would be in the mood to cook. The scant monochrome line drawings scattered in the book just don't cut it. Having said that I love the authour's "I'm your buddy" style of writing. He is one funny guy. His on-screen persona comes across in this book loud and clear. As for the recipes, they are easy to follow and yield declicious but not extraordinary results. Looking at the ingredients, which BTW are all available in any supermarket, you know exactly what to expect and the results don't disappoint. This is a great book to refer to on those nights when you just don't feel like cooking. Effortless yet satisfying meals good enough for the whole family.
