If it’s brown it’s cooked. If it’s black it’s fooked. – Gordon Ramsay.

Necessity is the mother of invention – and I consider eating a necessity. My mission was to find a way of feeding myself with the convenience of a drive thru. As a regular bloke I thought there must be many others who, like me, find themselves in the same situation. I’m no chef, but I invented some recipes that I could just beat, heat and eat – the culmination of years of grazing and trailblazing.
– Dean Lahn.

If you want great food, go to a restaurant – that’s what they’re there for. But if you need to make something at home to get by, this is the deal for you.

Living out of home? Or on takeaway?

Gentleman, take up your forks! Here’s a book of tasty recipes that any bloke can manage, complete with instruction-manual illustrations. Take the fuss out of food and just beat it, heat it and eat it.

Award-winning graphic designer Dean Lahn is coming to the aid of thousands of men who believe that the kitchen is simply where you find the fridge, the microwave and the toaster. The book offers an array of ingenious, practical and inspirational recipes that any ‘regular guy’ can beat, heat and eat using the generic products at their local mini-marts and supermarkets.

Dean Lahn is a graphic designer who works from home in Adelaide, South Australia. He lives with his wife Katharine and son Matthew. He has designed well over a hundred books. This is the second book that Dean has conceived, constructed, and convinced Wakefield Press to publish. His first, a photography book entitled Body Piercing, won a National Book Design Award and was sold worldwide.
