Description

Daniel Duane - How to Cook Like a Man





Duane’s title is nicely tongue-in-cheek. Facing fatherhood, the climber (El Capitan, 2000) and surfer (Caught Inside, 1996) decides that his contribution to the family will be as cook—make that chef. Beginning with Alice Waters’ Chez Panisse Vegetables (1996), he obsessively makes every recipe in that cookbook before moving on to other books and other chefs, transforming himself from a guy who rotates two different dinner recipes (Even Nights Stir Fry and Odd Nights Pasta) to someone who makes his own veal stock. Unable to do anything halfway, he lays waste to kitchens, keeps hungry guests waiting, and even sickens his wife and friends by serving a surfeit of truffles. Eventually, of course, he learns the value of preparing simple food that his family can actually enjoy. Though this is structurally somewhat uneven—Duane’s coming epiphany is so apparent that the second half seems a foregone conclusion—Duane is an intelligent and highly engaging writer, and his entertaining insights into male foodie culture will resonate strongly with both men who cook and the women who put up with them
