From the Back Cover
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent gift to give, January 7, 2008

By	Albert S. Berman "Al Berman" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my son-in-law. The book arrived quickly and in excellent condition.
I think that it will help him on those evenings when he has to fend for himself. The recipes seemed to be well thought out and had very good instructions.

My friend is really into being a manly-man and he is just learning to be away from home and cooking on his own. This was a perfect book for him. He is already using it. :)

By	Alexis R. Brown II "Deployed" (Ali AB, IRAQ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very much enjoying this book. It's an easy read, it's funny, and it's masculine. Low cost for high value. In general, it's the Best Damn Cookbook Ever.
