Will Cook For Sex: A Guy's Guide to Cooking [Hardcover]

Rocky Fino (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2010

Women were once taught that the way to a man's heart was through his stomach. In reality, fewer women cook, or really want to. Making reservations or ordering in has become one of the multiminded abilities of today's more progressive woman. Therein is the problem. Men must learn to navigate their way around the kitchens, galleys and cucinas of the world. In fact, to every man's advantage, the women can be very generous to men who know a spoon from a spatula. All men need is some beautiful inspiration and a few words of simple instruction from Rocky Fino.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Show her you can do-it-yourself in the kitchen, and it'll lead you to better places later. The allure of domesticity is irresistible." --Men's Health

Review

"As skeptical as we were (based on the title alone), Will Cook for Sex actually does a good job of laying out (pun intended?) recipes for all occasions that are simple yet effective for having the girl of your dreams be dutifully impressed with your newly-honed culinary skills. With simple instructions and a well-photographed, bright layout, Will Cook for Sex (recently awarded Foreword Magazine's Cookbook of the Year award) would actually make a great first addition to any single guy's kitchen bookshelf."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Game Plan, October 27, 2005

By 

Alexis Lozano (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Will Cook For Sex: A Guy's Guide to Cooking (Hardcover)

Lets face it; not all of us are Brad Pit look a likes, in fact some of us would settle to be a Brad Garrett look a like. For those looking/needing a new game plan Rocky has got the book for you. Will Cook For Sex says it all, it's the `nice' guys guide to getting women to come over for a drink. It's not just a book for men too; it's also a good book for women to give the men in their lives as a subtle hint that they won't miss. So pour a couple of drinks, light the stove and see how Rocky's book can help you satisfy a woman's appetite.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Like a Charm!, February 23, 2006

C. Newkirk "Whatever it takes" (Las Vegas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Will Cook For Sex: A Guy's Guide to Cooking (Hardcover)

Well, that may be a bit of an overstatement. Sometimes it takes more than food. The book was very informative on showing the basics of cooking for guys. The first two recipes and the breakfasts are fairly easy "repeat" meals that can be done from memory. For the average guy that does not cook at all, this may be a little much. However, for a guy that likes food and wants to impress the ladies, this book is great. A follow-up with some more "date" meals would be great. Can't wait to eat, I mean read it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Of course we were lured in by the title..., June 19, 2007

By 

BlogOnBooks "BlogOnBooks" (Los Angeles CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Will Cook For Sex: A Guy's Guide to Cooking (Hardcover)

Of course we were lured in by the title, and while cookbooks aren't really our specialty, we thought we'd devote a little space to one of the few we've ever seen relating to a guy's point of view about cooking. (Inexperienced guys, of course, not your world renowned-chef type guys.) As skeptical as we were (based on the title alone), 'Will Cook for Sex' actually does a good job of laying out (pun intended?) recipes for all occasions that are simple yet effective for having the girl of your dreams be dutifully impressed with your newly-honed culinary skills. Southern California's Rocky Fino goes through all the steps from the first date ('The Show') to the second ('the Swing Date') to the third ('the Peer Review') with a wide variety of savory choices - from Italian Stallion Penne to Lobster Spears to Kingfish Benedict - finally ending up with the Morning After meals, the Weekend Pass and what to do for the holidays. With simple instructions and a well photographed, bright layout from Visual Impact, 'Will Cook for Sex' (recently awarded Foreword Magazine's Cookbook of the Year award) would actually make a great first addition to any single guy's kitchen bookshelf.
