About this project
Man Meets Stove
Thank you so much for visiting our Kickstarter project.
Do you know a male between the ages of 18 and 35 that is
desperately in need of NOT being single?
Man Meets Stove is a cookbook for men who've never cooked anything without a microwave. We wrote the Man Meets Stove cookbook as we
had observed that the men-desperately-in-need-of-cooking-help market was vastly
under served.
The number of college students surviving on dried noodles
and corn chips is just appalling. We are here to help.
Man Meets Stove will help men cultivate skills, cooking and otherwise, that will assist them in their fledgling attempts to date women. You can thank us later, ladies.
Recipes and Instruction
The cookbook includes the following tutorials and recipes:
- Oils and other lubricants
- Bacon, the other spice
- Jet Fuel for the Revolution
- Drunk Broccoli
- Eggscellent Eggs
- Grilled Cheese Sandwich Three-Way
- Roast Beast
- Chicken and other Vegetables
- Heart Attack Hollandaise
- Spicy Bacon Candy
- Wake Me Up Before you Go Go Brownies (Caffeinated Brownies)
....and others.
An excerpt from the book can be found in our: Man Meets Stove Book Excerpt
Every recipe comes with its own song dedication. It is an eclectic mix, with a slight emphasis on 80s pop and hair bands. We apologize for sticking slightly with what we know.

We did all of our own food shoots, and our models were terrific, if we do say so ourselves. Here's some examples of our foodographics:
