100 easy one-pan recipes any guy can make

Whether you're living in a dorm, living that bachelor life, or trying to impress a date, being able to throw together a delicious meal is something every guy should know how to do. And the One-Pan Cookbook for Men is here to prove that cooking hearty and healthy meals takes little more than a skillet.

No need for fancy cookware or ingredients here. Just grab your pan, follow the steps, and serve up anything from Italian Sausage Strata to Super Nachos to Vegetable Stir-Fry.

No stress, no mess--The recipes in this cookbook are quick and simple so you don't have to spend a ton of time cooking or washing dishes to create a complete meal from scratch.

One-pan 101--Find simple advice and guidance to master the basics of cooking, learn what kitchen tools to keep handy, what foods to always keep in your pantry, and cooking shortcuts to save time.

Health conscious--These balanced recipes include veggies, grains, meats, and other nutritious foods so they're good-tasting and good for you!

Get ready to master cooking basics with just a few tools and a little know-how!

Taking care to prepare a meal for yourself is a different experience than cooking for others. It can be a fun, casual, and (of course) delicious affair, but there are challenges, from avoiding a fridge full of half-used ingredients to ending up with leftovers that become boring after the third reheat.

Cooking for One helps you make cooking for yourself special without becoming a chore with unfussy yet utterly appealing meals that rely on ingredients you already have on hand, like Garam Masala Pork Chop with Couscous and Spinach and Weeknight Chicken Cacciatore. Don't have exactly the right ingredients? Never fear--with a Kitchen Improv box on every page, we offer ideas for altering the dish so it works for you. And for those weeks you didn't make it to the supermarket, we use a Pantry Recipe icon to clearly mark recipes that rely entirely on our checklist for a well-stocked pantry. We show you when it's worth making two servings (but never more) with our Makes Leftovers icon, and suggest how to transform those leftovers into a whole new meal. (We love our Spice-Rubbed Flank Steak with Celery Root and Lime Yogurt Sauce served over arugula as a hearty salad the next day.) Ingredients themselves often lead you to another exciting meal--when you're left with half an eggplant from Simple Ratatouille, we direct you to Broiled Eggplant with Honey-Lemon Vinaigrette as the perfect way to use it up. And if the thought of a sink full of dishes keeps you out of the kitchen, there are plenty of appealing one-pan dinners like Sheet Pan Sausages with Sweet Potatoes, Broccoli Rabe, and Mustard-Chive Butter or Couscous with Shrimp, Cilantro, and Garlic Chips that are here to save the day.

Your #1 Resource in the Kitchen

This one-of-a-kind cookbook teaches you how to cook any dish with confidence, whether you're following a recipe or improvising a late-night meal. With guidance from Stefan Ng, creator of the cooking channel Shaunson Explains, you'll master core techniques like how to properly hold a knife, tenderly steam vegetables or perfect the reverse sear, through lessons and practice recipes. You'll also build your intuition with ingredients thanks to in-depth guides noting the distinctions between produce varieties, pantry staples, cuts of meat and seafood―like which onion is best for sautéing vs. featuring raw, or when kosher salt works better than sea salt.

With your newly polished skills, you can bring essential dishes to life like:

- Panzanella Salad
- Garlic Shrimp Tacos with Cilantro Lime Slaw
- Night Market Popcorn Chicken
- Uncle Tony's Sausage and Pepper Sandwich
- Marina's Crème Brûlée French Toast
- Home-Style Ranch
- Easy Burger Sauce
