The Cookbook for Men Who Must: The Beginning

By Richard Chamberlain

Men should be able to prepare some basic meals either for their family or for themselves. My father - God rest his soul - could not boil water burning it. He could make almost anything out of sheet metal but could not make any kind of food.

Does this sound like a man you know?

Acknowledgements

I want to thank my two wonderful daughters who once asked me to write down some of the recipes I used when they were growing up - they now have families of their own. I did that several years ago and organized the recipes into a cookbook which I gave them as Christmas presents. Since then I have added a few more recipes and, with some help from my friends, produced this book.

In particular, my mother has tried several of the recipes and was very helpful in documenting her cinnamon roll recipe. My neighbor Pat spent a lot of time just reading drafts of the book.

I also want to thank Simone for her many valuable editorial comments.

I received encouragement from them and numerous other people as I prepared this. I wish to thank them all.

Introduction

I have enjoyed cooking most of my life, and have gotten good at preparing a somewhat limited repertoire of foods. This has come in very handy when raising a family because it was often necessary for me to do the cooking.

My mother and my grandmother taught me most of what I know about cooking. My mother worked in a store when I was growing up and often did not get home until late. My father - God rest his soul - could not boil water without burning it. He could make almost anything out of sheet-metal but could not make any kind of food. Since I was the oldest of four children, It often fell on me to prepare the meals. My grandmother had arthritis and was in a wheelchair, so when she lived with us, I would often be her hands while preparing meals.

Now that my family is all grown up and I am on my own, I have been able to use some of the recipes in this cookbook to entertain with a minimal amount of hassle. As I travel a fair amount, this has helped my social life a great deal. I never have to wait to be asked to a party- I just fire up some chicken chili and some guacamole, or maybe a big pan of lasagna and some chocolate cake, and I bring the party to me.

Men, with the recipes in this cookbook, with relatively little effort you will be able to prepare some basic meals and snacks for yourself, for your family, for your
