Cooking book for men?

Abnortion · 2020-03-31T09:14:07+00:00

I don't know if you know this, but foods are generally eaten by both of the sexes..

I would recommend youtube videos rather than a book you have to purchase. I'm a big fan of FoodWishes on YT with Chef John, but you could really look up any recipe online from different cuisines with different complexities.

I'm not really sure what you're asking for unless you go for one that is specific for bodybuilding or BBQing they're not going to feel any more particularly male than any other. Frankly, I'd avoid a cookbook altogether and focus more on recipes, the internet is full of them for free, cookbooks are a bit outdated. That being said it is fun to just have an actual book and commit yourself to try the recipes so if you want it for that experience, have fun.

There just isn't much we can recommend for men versus women. Both tend to eat the same meals together.

There's a subreddit tailored to easy-cooking menus and guys:

I'm seconding the point about cook books being oriented towards men or women seems unusual + unnecessary? Also, depends on the food you like - high protein? Meat eater? Vegetarian? BBQ? What do you like? Also second the point that Google is best place for this these days. Bonus is you can compile your own recipe book over the next few years when you find a recipe you like (print it and put in folder). I have family + friends request recipes from me all the time and just take a snapshot from my recipe book that is always growing or being culled.

Not a book but, "SAM THE COOKING GUY" is probably what your looking for. He cusses a lot, has a no non sense approach and he's pretty funny.

Edit: on youtube.

I generally like large format books with a recipe on one page and a good photo on the opposite page. I typically like books that are specialised by region or cooking style. Here is my collection; perhaps you'll see something that appeals: https://imgur.com/a/1Z79s

Gordon Ramsay videos on YouTube, and sam the cooking guy... if you're feeling adventurous, theres John Wtherspoons cooking for poor people

hotbucketoftrash · 2020-03-31T10:21:54+00:00

I don't think food is a man/woman tailored thing...

Nigella Lawson is an absolute beast in the kitchen.
Otherwise definitely check out Heston, Anthony Bourdain, Jamie Oliver and my personal fav Binging with Babish

Ok challenge accepted. Here you go.

You need:

1 can of sliced tomatoes (don't go fresh, too much work and the canned stuff is good quality).

Some noodles. Spaghetti are fine. Or whatever.

Fresh Garlic. I mean fresh. Throw out anything that's not fresh.

Mozzarella.

Fresh Basil. If not available, omit.

Fresh rosmarin, or dried.

Fresh Thyme, or dried.

Salt and Pepper obviously. And you want to use freshly ground pepper. Fuck that black powder they call pepper, it's shit.

You really really want a decent peppermill for black pepper. It makes all the difference. I have a Peugot and it serves me fine.

You do:

Cook some salted water for the noodles. Throw them in when it cooks. Watch the clock and be aware.

Meanwhile

Heat the tomatoes with the thyme and rosmarin.

Cut the fresh basil. If you don't have fresh basil, cut your fresh garlic. If you don't have fresh garlic, well, twiddle your thumbs. But your losing out now.

Cut the mozzarella to dices. You have mozzarella, do you?

Ok, shit's supposed to be cooking for a while now. Noodles are approaching Al Dente.

Add the freshly cut garlic to the soup now. Don't even think about using powdered garlic as this point. If you do, you fucked up.

Add the garlic, stir the noodles.

Once the noodles are ready shit really hits the fan.

Dump the noodles in a sieve. Douse with cold water immediately.

Add the basil and the mozzarella to the tomatoes. Turn off the heat.

Serve, season to taste, indulge.

Buy a pressure cooker which usually comes with recipes

CropCircle77 · 2020-03-31T19:16:52+00:00

Learn to cook basic stuff. Look up basic receipts online. Cooking is easy, and it's fun.

notyetcosmonaut · 2020-04-07T03:40:09+00:00

I’d just like the recipe articles to not have a 10 page long spiel before getting to the recipe itself.

Impossible-asset · 2020-03-31T11:04:08+00:00

I would avoid any "cooking for X" cookbooks. IRS often shitty recipes with a marketing gimmick.

If you're just looking for recipes to try, and want the quality to be superb, you can never go wrong with serious eats.

Any of the New York Times cookbooks. The NYT has become a misandrist rag as of late. So go to your local thrift shop and you will likely find an old version. The recipes are timeless. Tons of basic recipes like Sam Sifton's Buttermilk pancakes or the ever-popular Mississippi roast. There are also tons of ethnic and "project" recipes that require a day or three of prep. This is my favorite cookbook.

The old-school Betty Crocker cookbooks. Again, easy to find at thrift shops. These teach a number of easy classics. Abundant at thrift shops.

America's Test Kitchen Cookbook - This thing is the Encyclopedia Brittanica of cooking. It has a HUGE section at the end that gives recommendations on tools (Budget and Pro Chef). The recipes range from simple to moderate. I doubt you'll thrift this one. Try to find it on Amazon used.

The Pie and Pastry Bible by Beranbaum - Exactly what it says it is. Another one that you'll find at a thrift shop.

The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook - If you don't have one, a good (cough:Japanese) fuzzy-logic rice cooker is a must-have kitchen tool. You can make ANY grain with these. Irish Oatmeal. Tapioca pudding, you name it. This book has recipes for everything.

My hole is grilling meat. If anyone can recommend a good book, I would really appreciate it.

“Wolf in Chefs Clothes” is a great cookbook for men. https://www.amazon.com/Wolf-Chefs-Clothing-Robert-Loeb/dp/1572840358

I was a cook for 12 years in the USAF Cookbooks are not made for men vs for women. They are, however geared for novices or experts or based on diet (kosher or gluten-free, or both) or interests (Southwestern or Asian-fusion). The recipe cards are supposed to be broken down step by step in the order the steps should be taken. The card must be read through thoroughly beforehand for two or three reasons. First, to make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment (do you need a wok or mixer, or can you make do with something else that does the same thing?), that the recipe requires. Second to make sure you understand the terms (is there a difference between cube and dice?). Third for the length of time it takes for the recipe to be prepared. If you schedule things out right, you can get everything on the table at the same time (like a thanksgiving buffet), or in courses (salad, soup, entree, in whatever order).

I’m not particularly bright, so if I can do it, anybody can.

Good luck.

Recently I’ve been trying to replicate a few of binging with babish’s more everyday recipes. Maybe try out some of his stuff and then maybe his cookbook if you like it.

2020-03-31T16:10:12+00:00

Check out Akis Kitchen on YouTube. He’s a Greek chef who specializes in Mediterranean dishes, which is my favorite type of food and it’s healthy too. He also does videos on other dishes too.

matthewcoy · 2020-03-31T18:57:31+00:00

Look up "sam the cooking guy" on you tube, he is fun to watch and good recipes. He cusses a lot but he is funny

TomahawkSuppository · 2020-04-01T19:34:55+00:00

Save the money and look at YouTube, there are a ton of cooking channels and some really good ones. Food Wishes is a great one. If you are into bbq, check out ATBBQ channel.

Forget recipes. Learn how to cook. If you have that skill, you can take anything in the larder and make a meal.

These are sources about making meals:

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (the book) is a Rosetta Stone. For instance, after reading this book, I no longer see spices, I see flavors.

America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Country are PBS shows that explain the why of how you prepare a certain recipe.

nashtah · 2020-05-02T23:56:22+00:00

OK looking at your post you are looking for a cookbook for one or two people.

As such I suggest

You're an idiot. Cook books have nothing to do with gender. The best chefs are men.
