Review (PDF) Man Meets Stove: A Cookbook For Men Who've Never Cooked Anything Without A Microwave.
Do you know a male between the ages of 18 and 35 that is desperately in need of NOT being single? Man Meets Stove is a comedy cookbook for men who've never cooked anything without a microwave. We wrote the Man Meets Stove cookbook as we had observed that the men-desperately-in-need-of-cooking-help market was vastly under served. The number of college students surviving on dried noodles and corn chips is just appalling. We are here to help. Man Meets Stove will help men cultivate skills, cooking and otherwise, that will assist them in their fledgling attempts to date women. You can thank us later, ladies. The cookbook includes the following tutorials and recipes: - Oils and other lubricants - Bacon, the other spice - Jet Fuel for the Revolution - Drunk Broccoli - Eggscellent Eggs - Grilled Cheese Sandwich Three-Way - Roast Beast - Chicken and other Vegetables - Heart Attack Hollandaise - Spicy Bacon Candy - Wake Me Up Before you Go Go Brownies (Caffeinated Brownies) ....and others. Every recipe comes with its own song dedication. It is an eclectic mix, with a slight emphasis on 80s pop and hair bands. We apologize for sticking slightly with what we know.

I bought this for my boyfriend because I'll be living abroad for a few years and he's graduating in May, so he'll have to learn how to cook. I looked through the book and was very pleased to find the first almost 3rd of the book was dedicated to giving explanations for cooking terminology, basic cooking tips, advice on keeping a clean cooking environment, and what tools to buy/use. The recipes seem to be basic enough for a beginner, but appealing for a variety of occasions.Pros:-There is almost a full page dedicated to explaining "al dente". This is kind of an inside joke with me and my boyfriend, but I am glad that they took the time to explain terms like this. I hadn't realized it until my boyfriend told me he didn't understand the term, but people who didn't grow up helping in the kitchen don't understand a lot of cooking terms. This book is great for teaching!-There is an entire section on how to deal with chicken. I don't mean how to cook it, I mean how to handle it and clean up after handling it without spreading disgusting chicken bacteria around your kitchen and into your raw food. Like with the last point, this is a great learning tool.-All the writing is both beginner- and guy- friendly. Everything is explained in the most man-cave, basic tough-guy language. It's over the top, but informative, and makes for a fun read while giving you the instructions you need to survive in the kitchen.-The recipes look really good. While they are mainly 'man-food', there are some that are more like 'impress-your-date' food. They are simple, well explained, and even come with a clever playlist of songs to listen to while you cook.
