Podcast Episode 134: Cooking for Men – Manuel Villacorta

The Essential Cookbook for Men: 85 Healthy Recipes to Get Started in the Kitchen

The Essential Cookbook for Men is the book for guys who want to eat healthier (and cheaper!) but aren’t sure how to get started.

This is more than a cookbook – it walks you through all the kitchen basics―stocking your pantry, creating shopping lists, reading recipes―and takes you from gourmet greenhorn to seasoned chef. From Latinx-Style Fried Eggs to Stir-Fry Beef Sandwiches, you’ll discover tons of perfect-for-beginner recipes that show you really can cook up some seriously delicious food that will also help keep you fit and trim.

This book goes beyond other cookbooks for men with these features:

• Culinary crash course―It doesn’t matter if you’ve never set foot in a kitchen before―you’ll discover all the information you could want out of cookbooks for men.
• Easy recipes―Get complete and comprehensive instructions that all great cookbooks for men should have.
• Great tasting and good for you―Learn how to cook 85 dishes that are big on flavor and health benefits.
