daddy can cook | |||||||||||||||||
a cookbook for the stay at home dad, the single guy, any male who never considered the thought of cooking, because following recipies are not the manly thing to do. the angle here is to create real recipies for real dishes WITHOUT common measurements. Rather, all portions and measurements are in terms a non cook can understand. For example, cubed cheese are the size of dice, a proper size of a chicken breast is the size of one's hand, a cup of something is the size of a tennis ball, etc.

Excellent idea!
A family tradition in my family is a dish that came from such a cookbook many years ago (something like "cooking for fathers" or the like). The dish is "Pop's Super Colossal Popovers" and is not just "good" but a truly great dish (something like a baked souffle but easier and for breakfast).
A measuring cup and a set of measuring spoons at negligible expense is all that is required to cook rationally. Anybody who claims cooking is too complicated is probably too dumb to chew and swallow. That somehow cooking is infected with a lessening of maleness flies in the face that a majority of great cooks are men although I certainly do not mean to say that women are inferior in this field. Its easy, economical, and great fun.
Cute idea, a publisher might like it. I did a quick search on the internet and I didn't find anything like it. Maybe Complete Idiot's Guide to Cookingmight have something similar, but I doubt it.
