Guy Food
by Nina Bruhns, Rebecca York, Dana Marton, Helen Scott Taylor, Mimi Barbour

The way to a man's heart may be through his stomach, but cooking for guys can sometimes be frustrating. Most of them want simple, no fuss, stick-to-the-ribs meals, not gourmet fare. Here are some great examples of what they crave---the favorite foods of the heroes in Ten Brides for Ten Hot Guys. Some are the dishes their brides make especially for them. Some are favorites from their childhood. And still others are what they like to whip up when they take off their jackets, guns or cowboy hats and step into the kitchen. Each recipe comes with a note that will whet your appetite for one of the stories in Ten Brides for Ten Hot Guys.

Here you'll find tasty breakfast foods, hearty main dishes, great snacks, and desserts. Included are recipes for everything from Buffalo Wing Dip, Bourbon Baked Ham, and Loaded Potatoes to Cincinnati Chili and Peanut Butter Brownies.

Please enjoy these delicious dishes. They are each author's way of adding another facet to her story and characters. We hope you love these recipes as much as we do and that you'll want to cook them for your own guy for many years to come.

Recipes are by Rebecca York, Nina Bruhns, Dana Marton, Ammie Jones, Mona Risk, Alicia Street, Patrice Wilton, Mimi Barbour, Donna Fasano, and Helen Scott Taylor.

Nina Bruhns' Bio

Nina Bruhns credits her gypsy great-grandfather for her great love of adventure. She has lived and traveled all over the world, including six years in Sweden. She has two graduate degrees in archaeology (with a specialty in Egyptology), and like her idol Indiana Jones, has been on scientific expeditions from California to Spain to Egypt and the Sudan.

All this has been great fodder for her books. A best-selling author for Berkley Publishing, Silhouette Nocturne and Silhouette Romantic Suspense, Nina's many adventures give her stories a colorful dimension and allow her to create vivid settings and characters that are out of the ordinary. She has earned two RITA nominations, and has won numerous other awards for her published books, including the prestigious National Readers Choice Award, three Daphne du Maurier Awards of Excellence for Overall Best Mystery/Suspense Novel of the year, five Dorothy Parker Awards, several RT BookClub Reviewers Awards, as well as having her books named Best Series Book of the Year by more than one online review site.

A native of Canada, Nina grew up in California and currently resides in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina.
