Light the candles. Pour the wine. Cozy up on the couch.

You're in for the night.

That's because you've just discovered the quickest route to a woman's heart.

Your kitchen.

If you've been using the wrong room, here's the inspiration you've been seeking.

An easy cookbook.

With an awesome goal:

"Better Dating Through Cooking."

So you can slice, dice and entice.

Even if you don't know boil from broil.

The secret? Easy illustrated cartoon-strip recipes.

So if you can read the comics, you can learn to cook.

And not sissy dishes either -- but tempting, romantic homecooked masterpieces that are a cinch to prepare (but look like you spent all day.)

Like mouth-watering Dijon Chicken. Succulent Shrimp Scampi. Creamy Fettuccini Alfredo. And the ultra-seductive Steak 'Her Name Here' with the wildly impressive flambe finish!

Does it work? Put it to the taste test: if both you AND your lovely dinner date are not 100% satisfied, just send the book back within 30 days (minus the food stains, please!)

But we're sure they'll have to pry it from your garlicky fingers after you try out the most rewarding chapter in the book: BREAKFASTS!

So click "Eating In" into your shopping cart today...then invite someone verrrry special over for dinner.

Because now you can look like Paul Newman in the kitchen.

Even if you cook like Alfred E.

Review

A funny, sexy and completely well-researched guide for the guy who previously used his kitchen as a place to work on his car. -- Baltimore Sun

A humorous look at the triumphs and tragedies of preparing an intimate dinner for the object of one's affections. -- Publishers Weekly

Fills the gap between Martha Stewart and Chef Boy-Ar-Dee. -- Boston Globe

For a man for all seasonings. -- Buffalo News

For men who chill beer, reheat coffee or dump garbage (in their kitchens), it shows how to make the transition from processed food to home-cooked romance. -- Miami Herald

He's wonderful and good looking. Problem is, he can't cook. Get him Eating In, which...will turn a bumbling bachelor into a master chef. -- Playgirl

It's based on the premise that every woman wants a man who can bring home the bacon and roll it into a nifty rumaki. -- Chicago Sun-Times

Not only is Eating In informative, but its writing and cartoons are both witty and wise. -- Playboy

"How To Invite Your Date Over For Dinner"

A proper dinner invitation can mean the difference between a perfectly planned evening and a disaster after dark. The invitation is your chance-in-advance to arouse your date's taste buds -- not her survival instincts.

Just imagine how she'll feel arriving at your place for dinner. At night. Alone. Unarmed. Fretting that the date muffins you're planning to devour are hers. That the suckling pig will not he her dinner but her host. And that dessert will be nothing more than a chilled Reddi-Whip surprise.

Do your best to help her feel at home. If she's eyeing the exits, pour her a glass of wine. Serve your appetizers. Romance her with your newfound culinary skills. And prepare her for the feast of her dreams.

Remember, even though you have the home-court advantage, that's no excuse to take advantage. Act like a gracious host and you'll guarantee she'll be back for more. Act like a perfect ass and you'll be kissing hers good-bye.

I love this book.

ByO. Akomaon May 16, 2007

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I bought this book in 1996, and it was my introduction to the culinary arts. I truly didn't start using it until 1999, when I found myself in an apartment without roommates. This book taught me how to setup a kitchen, and provided me with the basic know-how required to make some truly delicious meals for myself. It also provided me with much needed confidence in the kitchen.

This book is a treasure, and it is truly unfortunate that it is out of print. If you are a young man, or woman, and need help learning how to take care of yourself by learning to cook this is the book for you. I've collected many cooking books since this one, and still turn to this one the most. It is the easiest and most entertaining "how to" book I have ever read.

My simple recommendation is buy the book and enjoy a wonderful introduction to becoming a true epicurean.

What a fabulous book for a young, single man!

ByRebecca Balduffon June 7, 2004

Format: Paperback

It's really too bad this book is out of print! The pictures may be a bit dated, but the advice is timeless. In very humourous fashion, it tells the reader (presumably a clueless single guy) how to wow a woman through cooking her a meal. Unlike most cookbooks, it also gives him much-needed practical advice -- such as how to prepare his apartment for her arrival. The cartoons and illustrations further the text and are funny all by themselves (I sat on the couch and giggled my way through the book). The recipes are very well laid-out and sound really tasty, with due regard given to providing variety in dishes (even a vegetarian menu). And (as a young woman) I can say that all of the "how to impress" advice is as dead-on as generic advice can be.
This would make a wonderful gift -- funny and useful at the same time. I plan to buy a copy now for each of my sons (three of them!), to put in the "moving away from home" future gift box. Every single man needs to have this book. Oh -- and I'm also keeping a copy for myself, because those recipes sound GOOD! I think I'll cheat and fix a romantic dinner for my husband...

Pretty lame

BySir Alfred di Long Beachon February 19, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Not really a novelty book, not really a cookbook, not really a guide to anything... It doesn't really know what it is. Regretful impulse buy but at least it was inexpensive.
