Summary

Think the fridge is just a place to stash the six-pack? Best-selling authors Karen Brooks and Gideon Bosker (whose Atomic Cocktails and Patio Daddy-O have sold over 100,000 copies) come to the rescue with Dude Food. Taking any guy from zero to sixty in the kitchen, Dude Food means maximum payoff and big flavors with minimal effort. Impress your boss with You Go, Risotto or woo a date with a Candlelight Caviar Omelet. Keep that Monday night football crowd in-line with Macho Nachos, or just thrill everyone you know with Jammin' Dishwasher Salmon (hold the soap!), Schroom Service, or the irresistible Electric Love Lounge Chocolate Chip Cookies. Dude Food is the essential guide to hip, contemporary, dudeful cooking.
