The Nice Guy's Guide to Cooking for a Lady

Are you a man? Are you married to a man? Are you dating a man? Have you ever heard of a man or seen one on TV? Then you know someone who NEEDS this book! The Nice Guy's Guide To Cooking For a Lady skillfully 'simmers down' the intimidating, and female-oriented, 'art' of cooking to a more guy-friendly, utilitarian, and pragmatic variety of dishes made "so easy a man could do it." 'The Guide' carefully enfolds the zesty combination of a southern born chef sharing simplified yet delicious recipes, and the stifling cooking-illiteracy of her otherwise helpless 'partner in cr?me' to translate them for men. With more pictures than Swedish furniture assembly instructions, and critical 'manslations,' 'The Guide' will arm the reader with the tools to prepare meals that are not only man-tested, but woman-approved. HINT: We also suggest you keep takeout menus from local venues inside the back cover in case all goes wrong...'The Guide' flamb?ed into existence when Christy Beaver made a present for her hapless bachelor friend Charles Liotta. At the time the working title for the book was "Chuckman's Recipes To Impress the Ladies." (Subsequent working titles included "The Seduction Reduction," "The Little Black Cookbook," and "Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Cooking, but Were Afraid to Ask.") Each recipe in 'The Guide' includes the crucial step "All that's left is for *someone* to kiss the cook." (You're welcome.) A few puns, quips, and a lot of "wait, what does that means" later, we hope that this resource will help men everywhere feel comfortable hosting a meal that anyone would thoroughly appreciate and enjoy. We here at 'The Guide' firmly believe the only thing a nice guy should finish last is dessert.
