This Ain’t Your Grandma’s Cookbook . . .
Dinner Tonight: Bend Me Over Beef or Miso Honee Stir Fry?  

April 15, 2010 (CHICAGO) – The cookbook that would really get Grandma’s knickers in a twist has sold over 6,000 copies to date. Jason Bailin, the self published, sharp-tongued, quick-witted author of Get in the Kitchen, BIT@HES! has taken a non-apologetic plunge into the normally stuffy cookbook market, creating recipes such as Poke Me! Pork and On Your Knees! Chicken.

Ladies, get your husbands in the kitchen and make them your own personal bit@h! Get in the Kitchen, BIT@HES! was written in a way that suits every level of kitchen connoisseur so even your beer swigging guy can get his butt in the kitchen.  And for those single guys among us, you’ll end up with dishes sure to impress any date.  There are even time and money saving tips cater to those on the go.

Get in the Kitchen BIT@HES! takes a new and hilarious approach to the traditionally staid cookbook. Entertaining readers and aspiring weekend chefs, Get in the Kitchen, BIT@HES! blends the humor of a small coffee table book with the functionality of a traditional cookbook. Using sarcasm and comedy, the author helps readers hone their culinary skills by providing recipes and guidance on what foods and flavors taste best together.

“I was tired of all the cookbooks written by cheerful, wholesome chefs who make you want to smack them in the face with a frying pan” said Bailin. “I wanted to come up with a new kind of cookbook that had some personality, some teeth to it. I knew if I succeeded, a person would actually enjoy reading the book and not simply flip through it to find a particular recipe.”

With over 52 recipes for entrées, appetizers, sides, soups, stews and homemade salad dressings, Get in the Kitchen, BIT@HES! aims to provide something for everyone’s unique taste and skill level. Fare ranges from simple meatloaf and stir-fry to ribs, pasta, and lamb. Each dish, like the Chicken Curry Tacos, aspires to blend several cuisines to create unexpected flavors. Get in the Kitchen BIT@HES! is ideal for bachelors and first time cooks as well as for the more cultivated cuisiniers hoping to expand their culinary repertoire. “I hope that the down-to-earth, humorous nature of the book will get all the damn bit@hes in the kitchen!” Bailin said.
