A Man, a Can, a Plan by David Joachim (2002, Hardcover, Illustrated, Board)

Great cookbook for a busy dad. These are definitely "guy" recipes, but my wife has enjoyed them as well. So far, 2 out of 3 recipes are winners. The book has thick pages, like a childs book. Its nice in the kitchen as it stays open and doesn't easily tear or get wet.

simple menu plans, common ingredients for a simple kitchen. Pages are thick for turning with a man's hand & semi-water proofed. Got more then 1 thru e-Bay at excellent prices as compared to a bookstore.

Wow! What a great cookbook! The recipes seem easy and look delicious. I am looking forward to cooking from this cookbook. The book is shaped like a can and is very sturdy. Many cookbooks can easily be ruined when you use it from liquids and ingredients. This book looks like it it going to last a very long time. I can't wait to try some of the recipes!

Very easy to follow pictures:) Would make a great gift for college student, single guy without a clue

I purchased this book for my nephew, who is freshman in college. I gave it for a stocking stuffer, not really knowing if he would be that into cooking from it. But he loves it, he raved to me, exclaiming how many great recipes they had enjoyed. He and friends have lots of fun trying these simply and inexpensive recipes. Definitely a success!

Since it's just me, I thought it would be helpful when preparing meals. I was oh so right. It has delicious recipies, easy to make and quick. I love it!

This book is perfect. All meals are simple and it they are had to mess up. It is cook made for a man. You can't go wrong with this cookbook.

My wife likes the fact that I have more ideas for dinner instead of the two or three ideas I've stuck with in the past. This is a good book for the weekend when friends come over.

Great for anyone looking for quick meal ideas, the only things that could make it better would be 1. More recipes 2. Lower sodium options
Photo how-to is perfect format for quick skimming and folks who are visually oriented.
Overall - quick, easy, fun (for women too!)

Great cookbook! Recipes are very easy to prepare and they are very good!! Bought the book because the recipes looked easy to prepare and the pictures made the meals look very good! Also, the ingredients are very healthy for everyone. I would highly recommend to anyone, especially those that feel they cannot cook.

Great Book, believe it or not I bought this for my Daughter who is a very busy professional woman, she loves it!

I bought this book for my son who just graduated college and moved into his first apartment 800 miles from home. The catchy title caught my eye, and I was not disappointed. It is just adorable - a board book for big kids. Some of the recipies are very similar to each other, and I don't know how many he will actually make, but he is already very excited about the pineapple and ham pizza. This particular book could have been in a little better condition, as many of the pages were stuck together, but I knew I was not buying a new book.

I made a few recipes similar to this and thought a single guy friend of mine may like it. Quick and Easy!

We love the way each of the recipes have a picture of every ingredient needed. The pages are of sturdy board and wipe clean easily, for those messy types such as ourselves. How can you not love a cook book with an exclusive section about cooking with beer?! This book is easy to use and the recipes are tasty to try. I would have liked to have seen more veggie dishes, but no other complaints. This is the perfect cookbook for all you manly men out there.

Very simple, healthy, varied recipies that can be made in minutes. Excellent cookbook for a batchelor.

The quality of the book is great and has wonderful
pics and easy to do recipes. We had seen this book
out at a shop but knew I could get it at a bargain
on ebay. This is the second book in this series we
have purchased and we love them both. You won't
be dissappointed.

This is one kick butt series of books for those that hate to cook and those that LOVE to cook. Anyone can be a gourmet with food items right in your pantry. I have totally WOWed my family by whipping up some of the delectable (and easy..did I mention easy) foods from this book. I can't imagine my husband using the book but if he wanted to he could whip up something quite easily by reading up! I have purchased MULTIPLE copies of this bookd to give as gifts to all my friends that cook, and even those that don't.
