Let's face it, today we are inundated with articles about cooking, food, and wine in almost every part of our lives. From The Wall Street Journal to Playboy Magazine, you'd be hard pressed not to find a commentary related to the subject of food. At a time when I'm trying to figure out my best financial opportunities or determine which girl of the SEC is the best looking, why am I being told how to cook something? The simple answer is women. Don't get me wrong, a quick glance at any men's magazine will always yield the same redundant taglines; "Lose your Gut," "1001 Financial Solutions," or "Score your Dream Job" on the cover. However, by now the majority of writers have exhausted the subjects of health, wealth, and power as a means to attract women, and they realize that cooking is just another avenue that they can use to appeal to the wants and needs of their readers. Don't trust me? Take a stroll through the magazine aisle at your local grocery store, and you might find that even Field and Stream has gone haute-cuisine on your latest hunt. Confused by the last sentence? Good, this book is for you.

Grab the wet sponge and flip it over so that the Astroturf side is the active one. Start scrubbing. Might not be a bad idea to take a page out of Michael Keaton's handbook from "Mr. Mom" and place a clothespin over your nose.") Lastly, the bachelor gets a pre-flight checklist to ensure that he is a "go" for his date. ("Ears. Like an ambidextrous miner, arm yourself with Q-tips and go drilling. Repeat with clean swabs until the tips emerge from your ears still white. Note: For those older than 35, I hate to break it to you but you are a 2:1 shot for ear hair. Snip, snip. Sob, sob.")

For years, beer connoisseur Streeter McClure's culinary repertoire, like many single men, consisted of boxed dinners and ramen noodles. After one particularly long night of debauchery, he opened the fridge and was faced with an onion, a tomato, a leftover cheeseburger, and two cans of beer. Frustrated and starving, he did what any guy in his situation would do: threw all of the ingredients together in a pan with the intention of feeding himself and his equally ravenous friends. To his total surprise, it was delicious! This realization, along with his love for beer and desire to impress the ladies, led him to create a cookbook that single men everywhere can incorporate into their everyday cooking.

Full of deliciously inventive recipes, "The Single Man's Guide to Cooking with Beer "is an essential item for single men to impress on any occasion, from Super Bowl parties, to roommate dinners, to cooking for a date.
