Men with the Pot Cookbook: Delicious Grilled Meats and Forest Feasts

Product Information

They say in their introduction that their purpose with the videos (they're *HUGE* on TikTok and other social media) was to concentrate on the food and not themselves and I suppose that carries over into the book aesthetic as well. In 2017, the duo started filming their outdoor cooking adventures and received a massive positive response. After more than a decade in hospitality, in 2019 they decided to follow their passion for cooking and inspiring others, launching Men With the Pot on Instagram followed by YouTube. Thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Harvard Common Press for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review. The lads teach us about bushcraft as well as offering recipes which can translate into domestic BBQ grilling as well.

What lifted this book out of the ordinary to me were the highlighted text bars scattered throughout with short "Forest Hacks" and also the amazingly creative small tutorials for using natural found materials to make varied utensils and tools such as a pasta noodle drying rack and gnocchi board. Their aim was to light a fire and inspire others to follow the same path— cooking whatever brings them joy.

Bask in the beauty of the forest (or your backyard) with the Men with the Pot as you create memorable, mouthwatering meats, rustic bakes, and more over your campfire or on your grill.

Recipes include an introduction and background, bullet lists of ingredients with measurements in both imperial/American and standard/metric (yay!

But the pork turned out amazing and I have to agree, it was a great way to spend an afternoon in the forest with plenty of time to just sit and be. The answer is simple: when they started out, they were just two men with one pot who wanted to do something big!
