You Suck at Cooking: The Absurdly Practical Guide to Sucking Slightly Less at Making Food: A Cookbook

When I first bought this, I only wangjangled socially. I'd have friends over after work and I'd throw together a quick pasta sauce on the stove or a stirfry. After I read You Suck at Cooking, though, I found myself wangjangling more and more. I would rush home after work to mix crepe batter or stir a pot of homemade soup. Soon, when I wasn't wangjangling, wangjangling was all I thought about. Mixing and combining ingredients consumed my life, and nearly broke apart my family. Don't buy this book, and don't let anyone you care about get their hands on it. Friends don't let friends wangjangle.

This book completely sucks. Everyone should get it! Then give it to their friends. I don't have any friends, but I know people who have friends, so I'll send it to them. This works really good for making friends because when other people's friends get the book they'll no longer be their friends. This leaves me the chance of becoming somebody else's friend. It also gives you more uses for a microwave other than drying your shoes.

Just got this today, and while I haven't tried any of the recipes, this book is exactly what I was hoping for. It is littered with comedy. If you expect a cover to cover recipe book, it's not this. There is a mixture of recipes, tips and tricks, basic techniques, etc. all wrapped up in hillarious commentary.Quality is great, as well. The entire thing echoes his YouTube channel perfectly. Highly recommend if you are a fan.

Have you ever wanted to cook food but didn't know how to cook food because you didn't know where to acquire the food parts to make a food power ranger that is morphed into it's final form that is ready to eat? Do you like how a steak tastes but don't know how they grow it so nice and red and flat and with that amazingly thin transparent skin on the outside that is tattooed with a price and weight? Have you ever wondered "why is Cher's forehead completely smooth even though she's 74 years old?!?" Do you want to know what brand of tables they use when hosting The International 1-Day Ping-Pong Tournament inside Area 51 that is held every year on February 30th? If you answered yes to these questions or any questions you have been asked in the last 15 years 7 months and 18 days then you NEED this cookbook because it won't give you the answer to any of those questions, but it does make you 57.81% less likely to contract herpes from Chipotle bathroom toilet seats and that is why EVERYONE needs this cookbook!

I pretty much read it as a novel, it is so great. The recipes are easy and simple and you should definitely read and use this cookbook, no matter your skill level.

Never before have I just wanted to read a cookbook cover to cover until now.....and I did. I think there is some brilliance to the absurdity found within these pages. And by absurdity, I mean an amazing offbeat sense of humor that I link up with wholeheartedly. I think for a lot of people that have never cooked before there is no better way to start cooking and preparing simple, quick recipes that are actually nutritious. Leave the processed chemicals and frozen lab experiments at the grocery store and pick up this book. I love to cook and think I'm decent at it. Am I learning how to make masterpieces here....no. but there are simple instructional takeaways I have benefitted from.This is a great book for quick weeknight meal ideas that can be done by everybody so grab (or find) your favorite wangjangler and get cooking.

Love this book as well as the youtube channel!! When my kids and I find out about the book we pre ordered right away!! Now that is here my kids keep fighting over it. I can hear them laugh from the other room. I dont own cooking books but this one i had to have! Its well written, its funny, its helpful and its easy to follow recipes. And i might get a second one to stop the fighting between my kids and a few more to give to people i want to tell them they really suck at cooking but with these book it might come out less harsh than saying it. 🤣

An excellent read. A good focus on doing new things with vegetables, when you might not like vegetables. Ask yourself, "What did vegetables ever do to you?" and realize you have the opportunity to be a better person and give vegetables a chance. Except kale. Kale knows what it did and that's why we have to physically and mentally clean up kale before we work with it. Why did you have to make this awkward, kale? Maybe kale could learn something from cauliflower whose out there trying new exciting things and living life to the fullest (with some great examples in this book.). Seriously, get with the program kale, I don't need to be judged by you.

I thought "bloody hell, that guy from youtube that doesn't suck at cooking has written a book" and immediately was interested, wanted to support the guy for the years of entertainment but then I sat down and read through this little novella. I wasn't quite prepared for the peppery (peppery peppery) intensity of this book; I'd expected actual recipes and just enough flavor text throughout to fill a single online recipe, but lo and behold each chapter is a magnificent mix of everything YSAC's known for, and all the things that Devin isn't known for too. It's so good in fact, I read it cover to cover then decided to read the bits in-between where the recipes were; and not to brag, but, I suck slightly less at cooking because of it.

Bought as a gift. My "clueless in the kitchen" son really likes it. The main plus point is the comedy - he reads it for entertainment.He's tried a few recipes, and though they are pretty basic they have got him to start experimenting and getting some confidence to create something edible.

This book is so fantastically absurd and every page is sure to make you laugh! It gives you confidence to try new things and combinations and you really do receive a part of the YSAC YouTube channel. Recommend to any one with even a slight sense of humour or a will to cook. Amazing!!

I bought this book for my teenage son, who spent the day reading me quotes from the book and giggling to himself. This book is a must read!!

This book is really great! Highly recommended
