The smoke alarm is not a cooking timer. Granddaddy had to learn that the hard way.
Granddaddy Can’t Cook is a collection of simple recipes, honest failures, and hard-won kitchen lessons from a man who spent fifty years letting someone else handle dinner. Scott Walker came to cooking late — retirement late — and discovered that the kitchen is a lot like everything else worth learning:
humbling at first, surprisingly rewarding once you stop being afraid of it.
These are not complicated recipes. They are not trying to impress anyone. They are the dishes a granddaddy actually makes, tested on real family, written down so the grandkids might someday make them too.
Simple recipes. Real life. Good food.
