WHO WAS IT WRITTEN FOR?The Blokes Book of Cooking is for guys (and gals too, for that matter) who have never cooked before. It would make a great gift for those sons who are leaving home, for partners who are no great shakes in the kitchen, fiancés, ex-husbands who have to cook for the kids or just for friends.IT'S NOT AN ORDINARY BOOK ON COOKINGWhile most cookbooks seem to be written for people whose mothers trained them from the cradle in the basics, or maybe cooking was just genetically encoded, this book is for those who have never really paid much attention to the kitchen before.There are lots of recipes for sure, but this book is also about HOW to cook. How do you boil, scramble, poach or fry an egg? How do you grill, fry or barbeque a sausage or a chop? How do you cut veggies for a salad? How do you boil, mash, or bake a potato? How do you cook pasta?What do you need in the way of equipment and supplies to set yourself up in the kitchen for the first time?How do you set a table if you've got a hot date and want to make a good impression, or if you're one of those partners or fiancés who want to make a romantic dinner for two (you get lots of brownie points for that one!)?All of these questions and lots more are answered in The Blokes Book of Cooking.

Blokes in their natural environment have hectic lives, what between Cricket, Baseball, World Cups, World Series, Friday Night Football and Test Matches. Its amazing we have anytime left for work let alone romance or learning how to cook. A Blokes Guide to Cooking The Ultimate Bluffers Guide delves into the world of bluffing to show easy and creative international recipes within the grasps of the common man Bloke. It unravels the whole process from what utensils you need, picking the right menu then all the way to hiding the evidence after cooking to protect the innocent (mainly us). Now this isnt just another heres the recipes and this is what it should look like type of book. It covers all you need to know to get what you want from cooking, which by the way usually doesn't have much to do with just eating. The mere survival of the bloke species could be threatened if the Bloke does not go forth and multiply (or at least get out of the dog house with the Mrss for just being a bloke). The staple diet of meat and 3 veg still has its place in the blokes natural habitat but cooking to impress (see, I told you cooking didnt have much to do with just eating) takes a little bit more contemplation. Especially if you want to be rocketed to legend status, with the latest fling. We are man, we created fire! So we should be able to cook if someone just gives us a few tips, right?

From the simplest of '11.30 on a Friday night, drunk, starving' snacks (cheese on toast) to dishes that might even impress Mum (trout and almonds), the simple, short recipes take you through the process step-by-step.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The riveting inside story of three heroic astronauts who took on the challenge of mankind’s historic first mission to the Moon, from the bestselling author of Shadow Divers. “Robert Kurson tells the tale of Apollo 8 with novelistic detail and immediacy.”—Andy Weir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian and Artemis By August 1968, the American space program was in danger of failing in its two most important objectives: to land a man on the Moon by President Kennedy’s end-of-decade deadline, and to triumph over the Soviets in space. With its back against the wall, NASA made an almost unimaginable leap: It would scrap its usual methodical approach and risk everything on a sudden launch, sending the first men in history to the Moon—in just four months. And it would all happen at Christmas. In a year of historic violence and discord—the Tet Offensive, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert Kennedy, the riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago—the Apollo 8 mission would be the boldest, riskiest test of America’s greatness under pressure. In this gripping insider account, Robert Kurson puts the focus on the three astronauts and their families: the commander, Frank Borman, a conflicted man on his final mission; idealistic Jim Lovell, who’d dreamed since boyhood of riding a rocket to the Moon; and Bill Anders, a young nuclear engineer and hotshot fighter pilot making his first space flight. Drawn from hundreds of hours of one-on-one interviews with the astronauts, their loved ones, NASA personnel, and myriad experts, and filled with vivid and unforgettable detail, Rocket Men is the definitive account of one of America’s finest hours. In this real-life thriller, Kurson reveals the epic dangers involved, and the singular bravery it took, for mankind to leave Earth for the first time—and arrive at a new world. “Rocket Men is a riveting introduction to the [Apollo 8] flight. . . . Kurson details the mission in crisp, suspenseful scenes. . . . [A] gripping book.”—The New York Times Book Review
