How do "real men" cook? Either with guesswork or the aid of a cookbook, apparently. The Real Man's Cookbook explains, in what are apparently "manly" terms, how, when, what and why men should cook. It's even on the "So you'd like to... be a real man" Amazon list. It's almost worth buying this book for the picture on the cover - which is hilarious, in my opinion. A strange, disembodied arm holding kitchen utensils? How could you go wrong? Unfortunately, I just can't get all that excited about this book. Sure, it has chicken and steak dishes, as well as recipes that feature potatoes and other vegetables, but I'm pretty sure that "real men" who don't know how to cook use books like A Man, a Can, a Plan or the follow-up books, A Man, a Can, A Grill and A Man, a Can, a Microwave. These books offer easy-to-follow recipes using (surprise, surprise) mostly canned foods. The ingredient list is presented in photograph form, usually with only a handful of ingredients, and there is a picture that will show the chef what to expect when the dish is done. The recipes taste pretty good and you might be surprised at how much delight a book like this can inspire in the culinary challenged - by which the cookbook industry generally means men.

It's hard to say precisely why grilling and golf seem to be the two most popular themes for Father's Day, but we're not complaining because this BBQ set is fantastic. The 5-piece set was designed with golf in mind, for someone who loves the sport but also likes to cook. All the handles are soft and insulated, modeled after the handles on real clubs, and top cylindrical, stainless steel shafts that end in the grilling tools. There is a spatula shaped like a club, grilling fork and tongs that have a remarkably golf ball-like look to them. In addition, the set includes two plastic golf ball salt and pepper shakers.

It is a myth that only women want chocolate - guys like it just as much. Dean & Deluca must have someone working for them who knows this and came up with a cute way to package chocolate up as a suitable Father's Day gift. While most dads are getting ties or yet another set of socket wrenches, you can get your dad some tools that he'll really enjoy: chocolate tools. The "set" includes three wrenches, needle-nose pliers and a couple of nuts and bolts. All are made out of 56% cocoa chocolate, which should be pleasing to the taste buds of both milk and dark chocolate lovers. The tools are also dusted in cocoa powder, which D&D says gives them a "rusty" look, though most chocolate fans would probably just say it makes them look even more delicious.
