From chef and creator of the popular food blog
Domesticate-Me.com, 125 outrageously delicious yet deceptively healthy recipes
for dudes (and the people who love them), accompanied by beautiful full-color
photography.
Dudes. So well intentioned when it comes to healthy eating,
even as they fail epically in execution—inhaling a “salad” topped with fried
chicken fingers or ordering their Italian hero on a whole wheat wrap (that
makes it healthy, right?).
There are several issues with men going on diets. First,
they seem to be misinformed about basic nutrition. They are also,
generally, not excited about eating “health food.” You can lead a dude to the
salad bar, but you can’t make him choose lettuce.
Enter Serena Wolf—chef, food blogger, and caretaker of a
dude with some less than ideal eating habits. As a labor of love, Serena began
creating healthier versions of her boyfriend’s favorite foods and posting them
on her blog, where she received an overwhelming response from men and women
alike. Now, in The Dude Diet, Serena shares more than 125
droolworthy recipes that prove that meals made with nutrient-dense whole foods
can elicit the same excitement and satisfaction associated with pizza or
Chinese take-out.
The Dude Diet also demystifies the basics of
nutrition, empowering men to make better decisions whether they’re eating out
or cooking at home. Better still, each recipe is 100% idiot-proof and requires
only easily accessible ingredients and tools. With categories like Game Day
Eats, On the Grill, Serious Salads, and Take Out Favorites, The Dude
Diet will arm dudes and those who love them with the knowledge they
need to lead healthier, happier lives—with flattened beer bellies and fewer
meat sweats.
The Dude Diet includes 102 full-color
photographs.
I will make a confession. I only do about 10% of the cooking in my house. I am spoiled as my husband is the cook. He usually makes pretty healthy meals for the family. So, I didn't go into this book looking for a healthier way of eating for him. I was hoping for some good recipes to help him change up the menu for us. The book has some great recipes that my husband is looking forward to making. We are just hoping our kids buy into them.
The beginning of the book has a lot of tips on eating better in an effort to lose weight. There are great photos that made me hungry just looking at them. I think this would make a great holiday gift for anyone (not just dudes) who is looking for a healthier way of cooking and eating.
