Guy Gourmet: Great Chefs’ Best Meals for a Lean & Healthy Body: A Cookbook

Very healthy and simple – but thankfully, very tasty food too.
I bought this book because I saw a salad recipe from it published elsewhere. I’m glad I did, because it is full of healthy but very tasty recipes – and that is a big difference from many “health food” cook books. Although it is published with “guys” in mind and it assumes they don’t know how to cook because it spells out everything you need to know to make the recipes, I would say the title is misleading. I’m not a “guy”, I am a competent cook, and I really like the fact this book gives me a new repertoire of recipes that leads me to what we should all be cooking and eating. My boys like the food but also my girls do too. This is a valuable cookbook that will last the distance because it is not full of faddy or fashionable recipes – it is full of the kinds of recipes we should be eating daily for the rest if our lives. The bonus is that it is the kind of food we will like eating too. I’m glad I found this book

Purchased for Husband, Read it myself
We recently moved into a new home with a very family friendly cooking area. My husband has been chopping, grilling, sauteing, and whipping up delicious meals for the last 3 months.I saw this advertised in my (yes, I get it for me) Men’s Health Magazine and thought it would be a great purchase for him. Of course I ordered it from Amazon because – hey! Who doesn’t love better prices and a Prime Membership shipping perk?!The style of writing in this cookbook is great. Very user friendly and fun. Tips on the actual cooking of meats and veggies, the selection of knives, a list of kitchen “must have” tools and pans and even a crockpot!I haven’t been subscribed to the magazine for more than a year, so for me to have these recipes in one place is a bonus. No more page tear-and-store and never use. (I found the same was nice when I got the Clean Eating Magazine Cookbook 1).There are recipes in here for breakfast, lunch sandwiches, dinner, date nite, and party night. Also recipes for infused liquors and other drink recipes.Personally I prefer a cookbook with lots of photos of the food, but they do not offer a picture of every recipe. The book would be much larger I’m assuming and therefore more expensive.I did order and receive the hardback copy of this book which has a nice gift quality to it.We did not have any prior copies of any Men’s Health cookbooks, but I do own many of the Clean Eating Diet cookbooks so I understand the “recycled recipe” comments.*Note– I would say that this book is way cooler than the CE for Men book. So, for the group who may wonder which to select as a gift I would pick this FIRST.Please let me know if you have some questions! I’m ready to answer.

His sister liked it so well
Possibly the only cookbook you will need? Especially for a starter! So many helpful hints and cooking techniques along with delicious recipes! Bought one for a grandson who is “batching” for the first time! His sister liked it so well, that we got her one also! That did it, bought one for myself and grandson-in-law. We do like our food!

Meat-heavy
I was expecting more interesting, diverse recipes like I sometimes see in the zine but these recipes are typical, not very exciting and pretty meaty.

Bought this book as a gift, very pleased with it.

Bought this book to give to my girlfriends brother, he had recently moved out on his own. Not a big cook so the recipes had to be easy to follow with minimal effort or minimal equipment needed. This book is it, easy, delicious recipes without too much fuss. He loved it!

Has a great variety of cultured foods, and for a beginner like me it has very simple instruction and a nice summary to have a good idea of what the end result should be like. Has meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper, and appetizers.
