MAN EATER

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE COOK

• Consider these recipes guidelines. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Like love, the best food happens unexpectedly and by accident.

• Most of these recipes will make enough food for two very hungry people (or two not-so-hungry people, plus lunch for the next day). If you need more, make more. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be!

• I like it hot (they say spicy foods make for a better lover). In my opinion, everything tastes better topped with Frank's RedHot sauce or Dijon mustard.

• To reduce fat and cholesterol in the baked goods recipes, replace oil with equal amounts of unsweetened applesauce.

• Feel free to substitute reduced fat (but not fat-free) cheeses, mayonnaise, and milk in any of the recipes.

• You can freeze most of the recipes. They’ll still taste good two weeks—even two months!—down the line.

• You can cook the meat on the grill, in the oven, or on the stove—it’s a matter of taste and tenderness. I’m lazy and I like my meat juicy, so I lean toward the oven.

• Recipes are categorized by the man (below) or by the meal course (at left)

UPDATE: I'm cooking more than my website can handle! Recipes without photographs will now be posted in Word document format.
