You know what to eat. Dinner still wins.

"I cook every night and I'm exhausted."Two cook days a week. The other five you reheat, plate and eat.
"Meal prep food is boring by Wednesday."That's why the second cook day exists. Nothing in this book lives in the fridge longer than four days.
"I never know what to buy."Every week comes with its grocery list, sorted by aisle. Shop once, cook twice.
"I can't hit my protein."Every recipe is built around protein first, with the calories and macros printed per serving.

Two cook days. Seven days of food.

SundayThe big cook: proteins, grains and the sauces that carry the week. About two hours with the list in your hand.
WednesdayThe reset: a fresh batch so Thursday tastes like Monday did. About an hour.
Bryan's PantryThe seasonings and sauces from his restaurant years. Make them once, use them all month.
Chef's tipsEvery recipe carries one tip on the step that usually goes wrong, from someone who ran the line.

Six weeks, planned for you

Each week is a full plan: breakfasts, lunches, dinners, the grocery list and the two cook days. Run them in order or jump around.

Week 1

The foundation

  • Shredded salsa chicken, sheet pan fajitas, protein overnight oats. The week that teaches the system.
Week 2

Comfort, rebuilt

  • Cheeseburger bowls, chicken parm zoodle bake, turkey chili. The food you miss, with the macros fixed.
Week 3

Takeout at home

  • Beef and broccoli, teriyaki bowls, shrimp fried rice. Faster than delivery and you know what's in it.
Weeks 4 to 6

On repeat

  • Three more weeks of breakfasts, lunches and dinners, each with its own grocery list and two cook days.

About the book

Before you buy

What does "cook twice" mean?

You cook on Sunday and on Wednesday. Each session covers three or four days of breakfasts, lunches and dinners, so nothing sits in the fridge long enough to get sad. It's the system restaurant kitchens run on, scaled to one household.

Do I need Fitness Without the Fear first?

No. The cookbook stands on its own. Fitness Without the Fear explains why protein and calories matter; Cook Twice is what you eat once you know.

Are the recipes hard?

Every recipe has a level from 1 to 4, so you can start at the easy end and work up. Every one has a chef's tip from Bryan, a former restaurant chef, on the step people usually get wrong.

Is this a diet?

No. It's food with the calories and protein worked out per serving, so it fits whatever plan you and your doctor are on. Nothing here is medical advice.

What's the Cook Twice app?

Every book has a code under its QR codes. Enter it at salvagehealth.com/cook and the grocery lists, cook days and step-by-steps open on your phone, aisle by aisle. It's free with the book.

Which edition should I get?

Same 252 pages, same 102 recipes. The hardcover ($54.99) lies flat and survives a kitchen. The paperback ($44.99) is the lighter option. The Kindle edition ($19.99) is a print replica, the book as printed.

When can I get it?

The hardcover, paperback and Kindle editions are all out now on Amazon.

Shop once. Cook twice.

Next Sunday could be the last night you stand in front of the fridge wondering what's for dinner.
