“Who taught Cam to cook?”

You asked in the comments. Here's the answer, from the book's introduction.

My mom taught my sister, Alaina, and me how to cook. She believed it was important that we become self-reliant. She often reminded us there was no guarantee our future spouses would know how to cook.

The recipes that did make it into this book have not only been vetted by me, but also by my wife, Lauren. Anyone who has watched my “Cooking for My Wife” series knows that Lauren is not shy about giving her honest opinion.

People often ask whether I have ever made something she did not like. The answer is yes. I simply do not post those videos. The evidence has been destroyed.

This is not a book assembled to check boxes. Every recipe had to earn its place. There is no filler.
