A delicious, heartwarming collection of soul-stirring stories and soul-satisfying recipes, from real men who do it in the kitchen Every Father's Day, men -- from the guy next door to politicians, entrepreneurs, athletes, and artists -- gather together in cities across the country to participate in Real Men Cook for Charity events. It has become the largest Father's Day charity event in the United States, raising over a million dollars for charities such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the YMCA, and Real Men Charities, Inc., for various family and health initiatives. Now, some of the remarkable Real Men Cook volunteers have come forward to express their love of cooking, family, and community by sharing more than one hundred delectable recipes (some handed down over the generations) and the memories that inspire them to live as Real Men. A unique book with a priceless legacy that will nourish your family in body and spirit.
"Real Men Cook" started out as a charity cookbook benefitting African-American fathers' organizations in Chicago. There are recipes for barbecue, okra, red velvet cake, rice and beans. But what makes it historic? the forward is by a Senator named Barack Obama. In his brief preface, he encourages fathers to be involved in their children's lives. When Kofi Moyo published this book, little did he know that the forward's author would go forward to the White House. "Real Men Cook" is collectible and historic. While Obamamaniacs are enjoying his 8 year old restaurant review from "Check Please!" for a soul food place in Chicago, "Real Men Cook" brings soul food into the everyday person's kitchen. Hail to the Chef!
