5.0 out of 5 stars SF and cookery...what a concept!, May 8, 2005

This review is from: Cooking Out Of This World (Paperback)

This book will disappoint those who consider SF to have begun with Star Wars...but will surprise and delight the culinary historian and Fan alike! Yummy recipes, mostly from the 60's and 70's, though at least one from the 30's, are introduced by the leading lights of early 70's SF/F -- here you will find Boozers and Judges (a tasty dessert), Cosmic-Minded Roast Beef Sandwiches (an innovative use of chocolate), the best gazpacho ever, and Futurian Spaghetti, a rich and tasty budget entree from the incredible Futurian House. I "borrowed" this book some years ago and am still cooking from it, despite its being in a sorry state. Now I'm happy to replace both copies.

This review is from: Cooking Out Of This World (Paperback)

Not only do you get (sometimes old fashioned, and that is great!) nice recipes by (famous) authors, you get to make them too! Cooking o
Out Of This World is a classic and it's a good thing it is available in this nice and affordable paperback. For all those fond of science fiction authors and cooking, a must!
