Oh these husbands who cook! They handheld their way into learning to cook, enjoying the process of cooking as much as the candle-lit dinners. There is so much personality in this cookbook that you’ll feel like a sibling or friend in the kitchen with them. The story behind the Communication Breakdown Carrot Cake will have you guffawing and teary-eyed at the same time. The Life-Changing Corn Bread will let you in on one family’s secret recipe. Another family recipe, Abuelita’s Flan, is steamed until super creamy and beautiful with glossy caramel. These are yummy vegetarian dishes from some men it would be fun to cook with.
