Dad's Own Cookbook shows how to do everything from handling a knife properly to juggling three dishes so that dinner comes together on schedule. Its lively charts, tips, and directions replace intimidation with pleasure and camaraderie, and its 150 great recipes will turn the most culinarily challenged dad into the family chef., It's time to become the new hero of the kitchen.

Its lively charts, tips, and directions replace intimidation with pleasure and camaraderie, and its 150 great recipes will turn the most culinarily challenged dad into the family chef., A cookbook just for Dad! Today it's as important for men to know how to cook as it is for women. Written by a self-taught professional chef who knows how to teach the basics in jargon-free language, Dad's Own Cookbook's lively tips, lessons, charts, and 200 recipes will instill confidence in every cook-to-be. Two-color illustrations and inviting spreads offer visual assistance throughout., Praised by food writer Florence Fabricant in "The New York Times" as "" One of the best primers ever published, " " "Dad's Own Cookbook" is still the perfect guide for every single dad facing new responsibilities in the kitchen, or married dad who has to step up to the plate . . . and serve it. As Jim Harrison wrote in Esquire, it is "" an extraordinary cookbook. Sloan covers all the basics . . . in admirable recipes that are a pleasure to eat. If I had had this book 20 years ago, I could have saved myself a river of frustration in the kitchen." " "Dad's Own Cookbook" is one-stop shopping, from how to hold a knife, to 150 absolutely terrific recipes. Bob Sloan, who began as a self-taught cook and is a professional chef and caterer, knows intimately how to navigate a kitchen-- and he covers it all: tools, techniques, ingredients, shopping, timing, and getting a meal on the table, whether a weeknight meat loaf for the kids or a weekend dinner party. He tells dad how to select the choicest meats and freshest fish; how to read a recipe; why to heat a pan before saute eing the food; and how to organize it all into dinner (or breakfast, or lunch, or pizza night, or Thanksgiving). There are quick lessons on the microwave, the grill, the food processor; tips on everything from chopping to steaming; wine and cheese primers; the four basic potatoes and eight ways to prepare them; perfect lunchbox sandwiches and treats; and throwing the perfect birthday party for a child. And, of course, not just the how of cooking, but the what: Dad's Official Meat Loaf, Cajun Baked Salmon, Stuffed Potatoes with Bacon and Cheese, Caesar Salad, Lamb Shish Kebab, Jambalayawith Shrimp and Chicken, Puffed Pancake, Steak Fajitas, Dad's Own Apple Pie, Chocolate Pudding. It's time to make Dad the new hero of the kitchen., It's time to become the new hero of the kitchen. Or at least put aside your fear of frying (not to mention sauteing, roasting, or tossing a salad).

    Great seller! The Kansas City, MO Post Office took about 11 days to get the package from "accepted at facility" to "in transit," but the seller was helpful when I contacted them about it. I would do business with them again. Paperback book was in great condition when it arrived! Great price too.
