Cookbook Vol. 1
Every recipe carries its macros, its cost, and the one technique note that saves it. The four-week plan tells you what to cook and what to buy, so dinner stops being a decision you make at 6pm with the fridge open.

Inside the book
Each chapter teaches one thing and then spends it ten ways. Every recipe uses the same short list: meat, eggs, butter, cheese, salt, and simple seasoning.
Chapter 1 · 10 recipes
Master one pan, one cut, one method. Ribeye, NY strip, picanha, and sirloin, plus the compound butters and pan sauces built from the drippings already in your skillet.
Chapter 2 · 10 recipes
The cheapest protein in the meat case, ten ways. Lace-edge smash burgers, brown butter meatballs, griddle sliders, and bowls that put triple digits on one plate.
Chapter 3 · 10 recipes
Eggs and meat, the two cheapest complete proteins in the store. Plates that hold until afternoon, including breakfast burgers that use beef as the bun.
Chapter 4 · 10 recipes
Skin crisps when it dries, renders, and meets steady heat, in that order. Wings three ways, thighs that shatter, two whole-bird moves, and the skin most people throw away.
Chapter 5 · 10 recipes
Chuck, short ribs, pork shoulder, and the bones most people bin. Standard oven, no smoker. Put it in before work, come back to dinner.
Chapter 6 · 10 recipes
The weeknight chapter. Scallops in 90 seconds, shrimp in six minutes, salmon in twelve, plus the tinned-fish upgrades at the end.

The part most cookbooks skip
Twenty-eight days of breakfasts and dinners, drawn from these sixty recipes by name, with one shopping list per week. Cook Sunday once and the week feeds itself. When you do not want to think, you turn to the back of the book and follow it.
Week one, as it appears in the book
Four weeks like this, plus the shopping list that buys them.
Try one before you claim it
The Butter-Basted Ribeye is free on this site, laid out exactly the way the book lays out all sixty: ingredients, numbered steps, macros, cost, and the technique note that makes it work. If you like how that page cooks, the book is more of it.

Who this is for
Every recipe prints its protein, its cost, and its cook time. The protein-per-dollar number is on the card before you commit to the pan.
Most of these are one pan and under fifteen minutes. Macro Mama's chapters cook once and feed the week on purpose.
Sixty ways to cook meat, eggs, butter, and cheese without eating the same plate twice. Pizza night and taco night are both in here, rebuilt from the meat up.
The offer
The first 100 subscribers get Cookbook Vol. 1 free, because early readers tell us which recipes land and which need another pass. That feedback is worth more right now than the money. Once those copies are claimed the price steps up and does not come back down.
