Cooking to Hook Up: The Bachelor's Date-Night Cookbook is really two books--a relationship guide and a cookbook--presented together in a hysterically funny, yet sophisticated voice. The authors carefully instruct their male readers to determine the type of girl his date is. They offer ten distinct types and clear profiles of each type. The book offers five complete menus per girl, as well as numerous other tips on how to get the girl. This is real information and these are real recipes.

Rating: - A gift given that *will* be borrowed
I just recently purchased this book as a gift for my younger brother who is with a very bad-for-him type girl. Anyways, this is an excellent book for anyone who does not want to come across as a retard and instead would like to show confidence and ease in a wonderful night out. As I told my brother, this book is yours, but I reserve the right to steal it back from time time.
Each little chapter covers an entire date from beginning to end, including an easy meal to impress her, and ... Read More
Rating: - Great Gift Item - Very Well Done
I ordered this book out of curiosity and was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived. With concise informative chapters on wine selection, etc. it would make an ideal gift for any young person moving into their own digs for the first time, or a great gift for any bachelor. Handsomely designed and bound, it is well worth the price.

Rating: - Could. Not. Put. This. Down.
I stumbled across this book at Barnes and Noble while looking for something else. I didn't realize that two hours had passed and that I had read through half the book standing up until my back started killing me. I lost all sense of what was going on around me. This is an amazing book, not just for the descriptive details of characters while writing a novel, which I am doing. And that is the REAL reason I would purchase this book for all of my family and friends. This book is great not just for characterization ... Read More
Rating: - Reduces the stress
Here's a not-so-secret secret: men are linear. We think in terms of how to get from point A to point Z. Having a cookbook that keeps both the ingredients and process simple and by the numbers *plus* helps you select a meal and ambience specific to the kind of girl your dating? Bliss. This is *the* cookbook for men, and not just for guys who are dating. Married men, here's a thought: surprise and spoil your wives with a fantastic meal. The recipes are easy to follow, and even the klutziest of guys should be able to ... Read More
