Antoni Porowski, the food and wine guru on Netflix's sensation Queer Eye, meets people where they live—literally. With appealing vulnerability, he shows cooks of all levels how to become more confident and casual in the kitchen. The verve and naturalness of his approach earned raves from Food & Wine and Bon Appétit to GQ and the New York Times, which noted his dishes prove that “sometimes simple is anything but simplistic.” Some of the recipes in this book are weeknight healthyish meals, while others are perfect for off-the-cuff entertaining. Visual stunners, they’re often composed of fewer than five ingredients. Whether Bastardized Easy Ramen; Malaysian Chili Shrimp; Roasted Carrots with Carrot-Top Pesto; or Salty Lemon Squares, all are visual stunnders and can be carried off with panache, even by beginners.

There are many areas of life in which you are a master - brilliant, confident, assured. But when it comes to dressing well and comporting yourself with style, what you don't know could fill a book. This is the book. It is an amusing and pleasureable book. It might even yield a quote or two for cocktail parties. It is arranged as simple nuggets of truth, lore, exhortation and caution which respond, talk to and feed off each other. The book does not pretend to comprise the be-all and end-all in matter of sartorial. Rather it offers basic guidelines, rules of the road; some of which may even been broken, so long as you know what your doing. Which you don't. Though you will. The perfect gift for the sartorially- challenged man in your life, even if that man is yourself.
