Cooking For A Shag
By Peter Anthony
There is a single man in your life who needs this book. Brother, cousin, son, workmate, whoever he is will thank you.
Straight, queer, thin, lesbian, plump, vegetarian no one is spared. Cooking for a Shag takes no prisoners we just hope there may be a few survivors. A raunchy, rambunctious romp through recipes for food and successful dating. Between the bouts of laughter, the author’s candid thoughts and wicked observations there are great recipes and excellent shortcuts for creative meals.

An evil eye and razor tongue are cast mercilessly over T.V. celebrity chefs and their techniques. Even darling Delia gets a mention.

At the end of the program they haven’t got a clue what she cooked or how she did it.
Same goes a lot for Messer’s Oliver and Ramsey. Let’s face it a single man is only going to watch the Ramsey fest to count how many times he can say fuck in one sentence and how many times he can make a little girl assistant cook start crying. Then the killer of it is they tell you all the recipes are available on the websites.
Are you, the bloke who has just done a ten hour over-night shift driving a Tesco’s truck up the M1 coming home at 6.a.m and thinking to yourself "Hmm, must go online and get Gordon’s latest way to poach game hen breasts with kiwi, almond and tarragon crème.”?
Not likely.
