Do you suck at cooking? It's okay to confess all those burnt fries, ruined soups, spaghetti disasters (Who fails at spaghetti?! You). And yes, even that General Tso's recipe those #foodbloggers made look so easy, you turned it into General No's.

We get it. We all can't cook like our favorite Food Network shows. That's why we thought it would be fun to team up with the wildly popular, always hilarious YouTube Channel You Suck At Cooking to debut their NEW You Suck At Cooking book published by Clarkson Potter, a division of Penguin Random House, Inc. Because who doesn't LOVE food, Sriracha, books & free stuff?

We took a hot second (Get it? #DadJokes) to ask Clarkson Potter 3 simple questions.

S2G: What's the reason for the giveaway?

CP: Do you crave food all the time? Do you think you might want to eat again in the future? Do you suck at cooking? Inspired by the wildly popular YouTube channel, these recipes will help you suck slightly less.**Results not guaranteed, if you still suck at cooking, just cover your failed dinners in Sriracha to make them taste better.

S2G: Who is You Suck At Cooking & what's the new book all about?

CP: From the mysterious voice behind the wildly popular, YouTube channel comes a 60-recipe cookbook for people who can't cook, love to laugh, or both. In the signature tutorial-style of the videos, You Suck at Cooking delivers illustrated how-to's for kitchen basics, tips and tricks, fabulous sandwiches, and even funky diet trends. It's as useful as it is hilarious.

S2G: Where can our blog readers find the You Suck At Cooking book? Where can people find YouSuckAtCooking on Social?

CP: The book is available everywhere books are sold and you can find it here.

OBNOXIOUSLY HUGE TEXT IN ALL CAPS TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR FREE TURKEY ROMAINE SLAB RECIPE IS BELOW.

WE'RE NOT SCREAMING, YOU'RE SCREAMING!

Congrats, y̶o̶u̶ ̶a̶c̶t̶u̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶f̶a̶r̶ ! Here's your free turkey recipe directly from the You Suck At Cooking book. 

TURKEY ROMAINE SLAB

This breadless, carbless, nearly weightless open-face sandwich might make you question whether or not the word “sandwich” has any meaning at all. One thing to keep in mind with all open-face sandwiches is that the ingredients have zero aerial protection, which means this sort of sandwich is not ideal for eating in the pouring rain, or during an aggressive hailstorm. However, the waterproof underlayer makes this the best possible sandwich to eat while surfing, snorkeling, or stomping around in a dirty rain puddle.

SERVES 1

1 romaine lettuce leaf 

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

2 slices smoked turkey, plus more as desired

¼ avocado, sliced

Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper

1 teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste

1. Admire the romaine leaf’s perfectly inviting concave curvature. Spread the mayo on the romaine like you would on a slice of bread, but not too close to the edges. There is no crust to guide you here. I trust you, so trust yourself.

2. Lay the 2 turkey slices on top (use more turkey if you prefer). Place the avocado slices down the center. Season with salt and pepper and dab with hot sauce. Take a bite, and think about pickles while you are chewing.

NOTES 

Notice we are deliberately breaking the rules of homogeny here, as there is no need to slather the mayo up to the edge of the lettuce, or even evenly. That’s because this sandwich gets folded into a half-pipe as it enters the mouth, resulting in a natural blending of the ingredients.If you’re making this slab for a friend, a fun trick to play is to dot the hot sauce into a specific shape, then see if your friend is smart enough to connect the dots. Will she notice that you’ve created a pointillist giraffe, or will she be too hungry to care? If your friend notices the shape and wants to connect the dots with more hot sauce to complete the picture, STOP HER IMMEDIATELY. If she uses a bunch more hot sauce to draw the giraffe, then the giraffe will be red, which is the wrong color for giraffes.
