If you were like me, you’d never heard of Sam Zien, because you don’t have all of those fancy cooking channels on your TV. You however, may have seen Sam the Cooking Man on Discovery Health or Fit TV. After checking out Sam the Cooking Man: Just a Bunch of Recipes, I really want my satellite back!
Who needs measuring cups anyways?
Sam tells you that you don’t have to have measuring cups and spoons to cook regular food. I agree with Sam, that regular cooking its non-essential. There are great pictures of how different measurements look in the palm of your hand.
Sam teaches basic recipes with a little flair, in a way that even your husband can cook.
With recipes that include microwave bacon, ramen noodles that come in the styrofoam cup and pre-made pizza crusts, Sam doesn’t aspire to be called a chef. He does however take these things and make them into something that’s a lot more than just edible cuisine.
Worried that a cookbook for your husband’s Father’s Day present may be a little too fancy shmancy? Then watch this little clip of Sam making Double Ball-Park Dogs:

I stumbled across this great cookbook while browsing on Amazon the other day. I must say that even though my husband says he doesn’t like cookbooks, I think he would love this one.
A cookbook for dad sounds great, especially when its “Just a Bunch of Recipes.” You can even keep it Double Ball-Park style and throw in Sam the Cooking Guy: Awesome Recipes and Kitchen Shortcuts. I wonder if he includes how to run the dishwasher in that one?!
