- For guys who just love their meat, there is Cree LeFavour's "The New Steak," a collection of more than 50 lively recipes for numerous cuts of steak, plus recipes for nearly 100 sides.
The book is lushly photographed and offers grilling and grill-pan alternatives for each recipe.
- For Dad's who make no claim to culinary greatness, but are eager to do more, there's Sam Zien's "Sam the Cooking Guy: Just a Bunch of Recipes."
Zien takes a no-fuss, entertaining attitude to cooking, and his recipes reflect it. Offerings include his "two favorite emergency sandwiches," cheese-stuffed hamburgers and banana bread French toast.
- And for the would-be pros, there's Norman Weinstein's "Mastering Knife Skills," a serious how-to manual on selecting, caring for and using the most basic of kitchen tools.
