The Playboy Gourmet - 1972

"The definitive guide to modern gourmet food, including over 800 detailed recipes, compiled by Playboy's Food and Drink Editor." "The recipes in this volume were written with the clear understanding that most bachelors who cook start out with decisive advantages over most women who cook. Women at the range, with brilliant exceptions here and there, too often fall into the habit of doing a sadly repetitive job, a get-it-done-by-six-o'clock job. By contrast every bachelor's passion for the culinary arts is always touched with excitement because of the simple fact that he doesn't have to cook..." - The Playboy Gourmet - Thomas Mario Published 1972, Playboy Press, Chicago Hardcover.
