Nat's What I Reckon Un-cook Yourself by Nat's What I Reckon

$32.99 AUD

Available Stock:
6

Category: HUMOUR

Nat’s What I Reckon was the tattooed lockdown saviour we didn’t know we needed, rescuing us from packet food, jar sauce and total boredom with his hilarious viral recipe videos that got us cooking at home like champions again. Now that we’ve cooked our way out of lockdown and are wondering what the hell to do next, Nat’s back – and he’s ready to teach us more about life in this thoroughly unhelpful (but maybe actually kinda helpful) self-help guide. Nat’s already shown us that jar sauce can get f*cked. But what else is sh*t – and what’s actually not sh*t? Is it all as bad as we feel like it is most of the time? No part of our weird world and idiotic behaviour is spared as our long-haired guru tells us what he reckons about it all – and amps up the flavour with some eye-watering stories from his early years before a sweary video about pasta sauce shot him to global fame. With Nat’s nine no-nonsense rules, you’ll be on the road to being less of a d*ckhead faster than you can say ‘quarantine spirit risotto with parzley on top’. And if you screw it up: it doesn’t bloody Parramatta, champ. Features a small illustrated selection of Nat's favourite recipes.   ...Show more
