3 Bonus Guides

I also wrote three specialized guides that elaborate on some important details that I touch on in Learn to Cook. Here’s about that.

I realized that Cooking for Single People is pretty important not just for y’all players, but also just if your GF is outta town and maybe you just want to stay home and eat lazy-dinner in your jammies.

But maybe you don’t want to just eat HungryMan.

So there’s some ideas and recipes in Cooking for Single People to help you feed yourself without making enough for a pack of wild dogs. ‘Cause I know that’s who you hang out with. Just Kidding. Everything in this guide is cheap and fast and easy and uses junk you probably already have, like rice and pasta and a blender (not all together).

But then, I realized… Damn.

The funnest part about knowing how to cook is being able to impress sexy people with your kitchen skillz. So I interviewed two of my hottest friends to find out what impresses chicks and dudes in the kitchen. In the Cooking to Impress a Chick and Cooking to Impress a Dude guides, I share my infinite wisdom with you and give you even more recipes to try out on your hot date, plus tips on what to do after dinner and after-after dinner (a.k.a. the next morning).

10 Exclusive Videos

One thing that is super rad about cooking videos is that people can see exactly what is going on in there. They can see what “translucent onions” look like and what “caramelized” looks like and what happens when caramelized just becomes “burnt”.

But before you can even get to that point of burning your caramelized onions, you have to know how to cut them up. In the 10 bonus videos made especially for the Super-Rad Deluxe Video Edition, I not only show you how to cut up things, I show you how to cut up these things efficiently and safely.

Basic vegetables: onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and garlic.
Weirdo fruits: pineapple and mango.
PLUS, how to carve a chicken and how to butterfly a cut of meat. Blam. Take THAT, porkchop!

But before you can even get to that point, you needa get yo knife sharp! So there’s also a video on how to sharpen a knife. Because you can pay someone to do it or you can do it yourself. Or you can just plunder on through life with a super dull knife and be the slowest mincer on the planet. Your call.

5 Reasons You Should Learn To Cook!

You will be richer. Dude, it’s fucking expensive to be going to restaurants all the time, especially if you’re dating someone and you gotta pay for two people. A home cooked meal is way more impressive to most people than a strange place with dim lighting and a jazz band. Just light some candles in your apartment, put on some Hootie, and make some spaghetti and meat balls. Done! For like a quarter of the cost of Olive Garden.
You will be healthier. Even if you aren’t eating at McDonald’s every day, you still can’t ever really know what you are eating unless you watched it get made. At any restaurant, you have very little control over what you are putting into your body. Own your body and take responsibility for feeding it well.
You will get laid more. Cooking good food is sexy.
You will feel more like a grown-up human being. Cooking food is a basic human activity that adults should to be able to do. Like driving a car, handling liquor, and holding down a job.
You will be more independent. Depending on someone else for sustenance is like having to pay for air AND leave your house to get it three times a day.

You may not think you are a “natural cook”. I maintain that all that means is that you didn’t grow up doing it every day. If you’d been playing piano every day since you were 5, you’d be a bad ass right now, not because you’re a “natural” but because you learned how to do it. Even if you’ve never cooked, you can still start now and be awesome at it pretty quickly. You don’t require any innate talent to be a good cook some day soon.

Lots of people have told me they’ve tried teaching themselves to cook from regular cookbooks. It doesn’t seem to work so well. There’s a ton of unfamiliar terminology and it’s intimidating. But, whatever. You can do this. I’ll teach you the words and techniques you need to know to cook basic meals.

In the Super-Rad Deluxe Video Edition, there are 10 exclusive videos on how to cut up different plants and animal parts. I also explain what the hell a julienne cut is. Once you get these basics, you really will be able to pick any recipe out of a regular cook book and make it.

When talking to my “non-cook” friends, I see a lot of trepidation in them, like they’re worried they’ll screw things up so they stop at the first confusing juncture instead of making a guess and moving forward. Fuck that! Don’t be scared. Get in there and mess with some shit. I’ll tell you what makes good substitutions and how much chopped onion equals a “large” onion. And if you do come across a recipe ingredient or instruction that’s confusing, ask me and I’ll answer you and then update the book, too. Blam.

Problem Solved.
