For Men Only
Here’s a guide to a selection of male-oriented items that didn’t make your initial shopping list

Legends of Texas Barbecue Cookbook
As Publisher’s Weekly noted, this is probably the only cookbook that includes a recipe starting with “dig a pit 3-feet-deep, 4-feet-wide, and 40-feet-long…” A Real Man’s cookbook, this 250-page ode to Texas-style BBQ is a fascinating mix of history, folklore, and recipes. Guaranteed to make every male want to rush into the kitchen and throw some coal on the stove top.
