You can tell from the title of See Dad Cook: The Only Book a Guy Needs to Feed Family and Friends (and Himself) that this cookbook might be a good bet for a Father's Day gift. It is written by one of my favorite cookbook authors, Wayne Harley Brachman, whose funny, clear tone makes his books fun to read, in addition to being great to cook from.
See Dad Cook is based on the premise that most fathers have a fairly limited amount of time and skill in the kitchen, but still want and need to be able to put together a few different meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner - for their families. Brachman included many of the recipes that he enjoys with his two kids, including basics like Blueberry Pancakes, Tuna Salad and Chicken Schnitzel. He also included a lot of tips on getting kids involved with the cooking and on how to stock the pantry to make sure you have most of what is needed to prepare the recipes in the book. The dishes may not be the pinnacle of gourmet cooking, but they are comfort food that the whole family is sure to enjoy.
