What do the world's most imaginative minds feast upon? Spiderfish Stew . . . Shrimp Anarchy . . . Surrealistic Fudge . . . Pa's Peasant Soup . . . and Marvelous Morphed Meat. How do the world's great science fiction and fantasy authors feed themselves when they're not whipping up tales of wonder? What did they eat before they were famous-and what do they serve to their friends? Compiled and annotated by bestselling author Anne McCaffrey, SERVE IT FORTH is an unparalleled collection of recipes submitted by the writers themselves, so you can eat like Patricia Anthony (The I've-Been-to-Brazil-I-Know-What-Black-Beans-Are Dip), David Gerrold (Death to the Enemies of the Revolution Chili), and Poul Anderson (The Great Pumpkin). Each wonderful, dunce-proof recipe is accompanied by personal notes from the author-chefs, as they guide you into the preparation of such repasts as: - Sherried Walnut Cake by Lois McMaster Bujold - Pig by David Drake - Comforting Clam Chowder by Peter S. Beagle - Night of the Living Meatloaf by Allen Steele - How (and Why) to Dress and Prepare Texas Armadillo by Ardath Mayhar - Catfish and Red Meat Flavoring by Larry Niven And over 100 more!

Like SF? Like cooking? Get this book!,
By Henrik "da laffin tlhIngan" (in the Anime aisle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Serve It Forth: Cooking With Anne McCaffrey (Paperback)
I love reading and writing, especially science fiction. I also love eating, and cooking, although I'm not a chef.This book is an interesting look into the non-literary creative works of a group of writers compiled by Pern mistress Anne McCaffrey. None of these writers will ever be confused with James Beard or even Emeril Lagasse, but the reader does get insight into the comfort foods that keep these writers going. A good book, also, for those who think they're too busy to eat.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A mediocre sidekick that proves that writers are not chefs,
By Alex (College Park, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Serve It Forth: Cooking With Anne McCaffrey (Paperback)
While my expectations for this book were never too high in the first place, I found that the "recipies" presented within are merely quick remakes of the already existing ones, sprinkled with outlandish names. If you are trying to gain insight into the nature of the writers whose recipies are compiled within, there are other ways to go about that goal.
