2: Good Gift Book for Young Guys First Learning to Cook
Many young men mainly subsist on cold cereal, take-out pizza, and macaroni and cheese meals they make from a box. How will they ever develop past using the microwave for heating frozen foods? Rachael Ray's small book, 30 30-Minute Meals "Guy Food" can help.
If you already own Rachael Ray's 30-minute meals cookbooks, realize that these meals are reprints from those volumes.
If you are concerned about keeping down your weight, these meals aren't the best. You'll need to substitute lower-calorie versions of some of the ingredients.
But true to Rachael Ray's roots, the choices of spices and the ease of preparation are both very good.
Rachael seems to be assuming that the male chef hasn't spent much time in the kitchen before. The recommendations are unusually simple to prepare. But when I was 20, this small book would have been just about perfect for my skill and confidence level in the kitchen.
Here are some of my favorites in the book:
Outside-in bacon cheeseburgers (I hate the mess that cheese makes when it's on top!)
Manly Manny's chili
Blackened chicken pizza
Asparagus with orange and sesame
Spinach pasta with asparagus, artichoke, and arugula
Veal scaloppini with wine, mushrooms, and green olives
Tenderloin steaks with gorgonzola
Sirloin Bourguignonne burgers
John's haddock with bacon, onions, and tomatoes
Steak au poivre
Cubano burgers with mango-black bean salsa
Grilled halibut tacos with guacamole sauce
Tuna steak au poivre on white beans with peppers
Marinated grilled flank steak
Sweet 'n spicy chicken curry in a hurry
Delmonico steaks with balsamic onions and steak sauce
Chorizo and shrimp quesadillas with smoky guacamole
Balsamic pork tenderloins
Roasted ratatouille vegetables
As you can see, most young men will probably want to pick one or two items a week to prepare . . . perhaps for an eat-in date or for having the guys over to watch a game. The food is heartier than most would want to eat every day.
If this book is a success for you, I suggest that you graduate next to Rachael Ray 2, 4, 6, 8. That cookbook will allow you to have more variety and learn how to entertain small groups.

3: My guy loves it, and so does my brother-in-law
My husband got this book from his sister for Christmas and he loves it. He has cooked several of the dishes and they have all been great! If it means he will cook and I don't have to, I love it. My brother-in-law loved the blackened chicken pizza so much I am getting him the book for his birthday. The pecan crusted chicken was delicious and so were the rosemary potatoes. I'll admit when I first read it, it didn't fit my idea of guy food but like I said, my guy loves it. Go Rachael!

The inside out burgers are the best, my boyfriend and I love them.

5: Not this Guy
Who did she interview to think this is what guy's like to eat? Every recepie in here is designed for women to make sure they can collect their husbands life insurance checks from heart attacks, and still be young enough to enjoy them. Healthy? I don't think so. If you really think her meals are healthy, look how much weight she has gained over the past couple years. Every meal she uses a lot of olive oil, butter, and salty additives. then writing a recepie for "Hamburger Salad" Basically garden greens from a bag, and a couple fried hamburger patties placed on top of the greens, with cheese on it. Oh my...Quick, easy and "Healthy" meals guys like to eat. Yummo? I don't think so.
