Boston’s own Avi Shemtov, the chef behind the popular Chubby Chickpea food truck, is slated to release his The Single Guy Cookbook this month.
While Avi himself is not longer a bachelor (probably due in part to his mad kitchen skills), he’s eager to distill his pro chef advice for all the single men looking to brush up on their culinary abilities.
Avi’s cookbook will be packed with straightforward, budget-conscious, manly meals, featuring dishes like Stuffed Cherry Peppers, Jalapeno Mac & Cheese Balls, and Bone-In Rib Eye with Sautéed Spinach and Feta.
Learn the best tailgating food and what to cook to really impress a girl with this macho-man meal guide. As Avi notes in the cookbook’s introduction,
Single guys have plenty of things to worry about – work, women, fantasy football – and the last thing you want is a collection of long, complicated recipes. In this book I’ve given you the same easy-to-make (and clean-up), great-tasting recipes that I’ve passed along to my buddies.
Here’s what you can expect to find in The Single Guy Cookbook:
- No Shirt, No Shoes is the chapter for guys who automatically default to scouring Seamless come 7pm. Avi offers up recipes for Chinese Sausage Lo Mein, Tuna Mind Melt, and Slow-Cooker Pulled Chicken Quesadilla.
- No Mess, No Stress is filled with recipes for quick, clean-up suppers like Kielbasa Carbonara and Italian Chili. Let’s face it, we know guys don’t love to tidy up after cooking. Then again, who does?
- Game Day Grub is the epitome of man-food. It’s recipes like Buffalo Chicken Quesoand Short Ribs with Potato Slaw on Toast – the kind of food that calls for beers and buddies.
- Hassle-Free Meals That Will Get You Laid is where Avi’s skills in the kitchen transfer over to the bedroom, as your date will swoon over recipes like Stuffed Steak with Creamy Mushrooms Rigatoni and Eggplant Roll Ups.
- Help Yourself to Seconds shows how to re-purpose your leftovers like a true pro.
- Healthy Meals for Hungry Men is filled with good for you food that tastes great, like Ginger Salmon and Brown Sugar Couscous with Pan-Fried Tilapia.
