12 Delicious Recipes From Tom Brady’s New Cookbook
You’ve got to hand it to Tom Brady: He’s making the most of his four-game “Deflategate” ban.
While he cools his heels (or prepares his appeal), the Patriots’ quarterback is releasing the TB12 Nutrition Manual, a deluxe “living document” – don’t call it a cookbook – that reveals the secrets of Brady’s heavily regimented diet plan and comes complete with “89 seasonally-inspired recipes that you can use to support your TB12-alligned nutrition plan.” Sounds, uh, delicious.
Given that Tom Terrific is involved, this is no mere book. It’s printed on “thick 100-pound text paper,” features “covers made from natural wood” and comes branded with “a laser-etched TB12 logo and title.” To the best of our knowledge, the $200 price tag is not etched by a laser.
Brady’s book won’t ship until early June – sorry, Pats fans, the initial printing has already sold out – but Rolling Stone was able to obtain a copy early, and we’re revealing some of those “seasonally-inspired recipes” right now. Because while Tom has plenty of time on his hands, we know you can’t wait to get in the kitchen and start cooking.
