Sam the Cooking Guy: Just a Bunch of Recipes

by Sam Zien

Book Overview

'I can't cook.' I hear that all the time. And it's not that you can't--it's that you don't. It's that we've been wrecked by cooking shows with their millions of complicated steps and crazy-ass... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Sam's the BEST!!!

This is the best book! Sam is a household name in our house and his recipes are easy and yummy! I highly recommend this to anyone and also the perfect gift for friends. If you live in San Diego, try to get in on one of his classes. He is amazing and very entertaining..... they sell out like hotcakes! Food Networks needs to get this guy! He is the BEST!

Husband uses it to cook!

This is a WONDERFUL book! Like Sam's show, the recipes are easy and delicious, unpretentious and healthy. And Sam's personality comes through, which makes it not only useful but fun! My husband, whose repertoire previously included at most 2-3 dishes (burritos, boxed mac and cheese, and barbecued steak), has made several recipes already.

This is great stuff! Simple to make with big taste. It's just like your show but in book format. My family and I love your show and your recipes. I like to get the kids involved when we cook your stuff, they think it's fun! Thanks Sam!

Easy Breezy

Great cookbook for those with little time but still want something better than fast food. Sam is cool and in our house we watch his show whenever he is on. Of course, like us, he's a San Diegan, so we gotta support him anyway we can.

Fantastic Cook Book! Great Recipes, Great Read!

I love this cookbook! I was never really into cooking until I got hooked on Sam The Cooking Guy's show on Discovery Channel. He makes cooking unique recipes look so easy. Each week I cannot wait to see his show so I can practice making a new recipe. I heard this book was coming out and I could not wait to get it! I knew I would not be disappointed. It is a complete mirror of his show. It has Sam's warm, open and friendly personality with that hilarious Seinfeld like humor throughout the book. But the recipes are the best part! From brunch to appetizers, the main course and desserts. Wow! There are tons and tons of recipes that are so clearly written and really easy to make, yet you will blow every one away with the presentation and the amazing taste. This is a book you will be able to refer to for years to come. Thanks, Sam!
