Description:

Gamers have a bad habit of stuffing their faces when they game, and most of what they use for stuffing is junk food. And when they do eat something remotely considered a decent meal, they tend to go for expensive take-out; pizza, hoagies, cheesesteaks, chinese, fast food, etc.

This short cookbook provides you with a small selection inexpensive recipes that most gamers seem to like. Along with being cheap (costing between $0.82 and $3.00 per person to prepare), these are mostly easy to make, if not fast to prepare, with most of them taking less than a half hour to prepare. Best of all, it isn't the greasy, fat-filled, high-calorie dietary nightmare they usually consume.

Just remember, before attempting any of these recipes, make sure you have an appropriately large pot, something along the lines of 12 to 15 quarts. Otherwise, you may find a tendency to end up with a few servings being fed to your stove and counter. These recipes have been taste tested and found suitable for use on all forms of starving artists, underfed college students, tabletop gamers, youth athletic teams, and some small military units.

This product is a test marketing product designed to test the market interest for this sort of product.

One final note. This is written by a US resident and uses ingredients common here in the United States and Canada. Don't foolishly assume any cookbook available online is written according to ingredient availability at your own local grocery store. I have enough bad reviews by residents of other continents angry that they made such an assumption and bought a cookbook they can't use.

I was mildly disappointed by this purchase. I expected more than the given number of recipes. That said, these are some fairly traditional recipes with cost breakdowns and a few tips for how to keep everyone at the table well-fed.

It's a good start, and a good concept, but needs to be fleshed out significantly. The attention to "group paying for food" is a neat addition you don't usually see in cookbooks. Perhaps it might be better as a subscription service, with a re [...]

This is a fantastic idea that's permanently made its way into my DM's folder. I'm surprised nobody's come up with it sooner. My only real complaint is that there are only 10 recipes in it -- I would gladly pay more for a larger document.

A very cool idea. Our group of gamers is overrun with good cooks, but it's hard to get motivated, and often when we get inspired, whatever we've made is far too good (and expensive) for enjoying during an evening's session. These basic but very tasty re [...]

The recipes inside are quite good, tastewise, but there are too few of them included. 10 recipes are simply not enough to call it a cookBOOK, and, on top of that, about half of them require ingredients that are quite hard to get outside the US. There's [...]
