Summary: Not for the novice!
Comment: I ordered this book for my baby brother. I enjoy cooking and often entertain. As an experienced cook I could prepare these dishes but even I am put off by anything that requires me to zest three lemons. I've found that my husband is much more daring in the kitchen and he admits some of the recipes would be fun. The book offers witty commentary and the "dudes and don'ts" of entertaining are terrific. If you are looking for wit and special meals for the weekend this book would be fine. For everyday survival, this is not what you want.

Summary: Dude Review
Comment: At first, I was turned off by even receiving this book as a gift. I am 22, green behind the ears, and fresh out of college. Yes, I've had my fill of Ramen and Mac & Cheese, but thought that this book was, well, beneath me. I thought that until I actually made some of the recipes. My dinner companion (girlfriend) was astounded by the food--I'm sure it helped that I made her faves! As soon as she walked in she commented on how great my place smelled. The dinner was fabulous, and made me love Dude Food. Dude Food is the only cookbook I own, granted it is not by any means thourough, but it is a great starter for guys like me. The recipes are simple to follow and every possible pitfall is laid out for you and explained. One of these days, when I stop ordering in, I'm going to try some more recipes.

Summary: Best of the bunch
Comment: With bookstore shelves -- virtual or otherwise -- loaded with volumes on cooking and style, the Brooks-Bosker-Darmon team is in a class by itself. Dude Food, their latest treat, is filled with wit and substance. Each chapter is a unique blend of nifty -- and easy -- recipes, social commentary and dynamite graphics. I've made some terrific meals with this book, laughing all the way.
