Man About the Kitchen: Recipes for the Reluctant Chef
Alastair Williams
This guide is designed to introduce men of all ages to the kitchen and to transform them with minimal pain into competent cooks. Recipe 21: The male cook. This is becoming more popular, but has been a rarity in the past. Ingredients: this book, a man, a kitchen. First of all, show the man where the kitchen is, and sit him in a quiet corner with a copy of this book. Leave for 15 minutes, then explain to him that it really is his turn to do the cooking. Argue briefly, then hand him a saucepan and some ingredients, read the recipe to him very slowly, and hope for the best.
