Mad Hungry: Feeding Men And Boys: Recipes, Strategies, And Survival Techniques (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

I thought this was a good comfort-food cookbook. The recipes vary in difficulty and require various techniques, but there's a pretty solid range in here. The cooking times are accurate, though there's no nutritional information.The thing that grated on me after a while was the framing device - that this was how men and boys wanted to eat. After a while it got kind of tired, and I almost found it sexist - who says men don't like fancy granola? Or always eat big breakfasts? Or that women don't like to eat like that? What about men who are vegans?If it had been presented as a comfort food book, I wouldn't have many complaints. Most of these recipes aren't new to me and I'm happy with the versions I have, but this would make a great first apartment gift - as long as you don't mind the sexist tone. She had me at 'men like hot sauce.' Like me, the author also has three boys, so I figured if anyone understood my plight of trying to fill seemingly bottomless bellies, she would. And she definitely does. My only beef is that nearly all the recipes seemed to contain carbohydrates in the form of bread or pasta or flour. I'm on a quest to move away from the habit of incorporating those in every meal, so I was disappointed in that regard, but that's in no way a fault of the book.
