Theez vegetables are scaree, mon cher!, July 23, 2002
This review is from: West Texas (Hardcover)
The multi-talented Al Sarrantonio, noted for his many contributions to the horror/science fiction field, now turns his dark eye toward the bone-chilling world of French vegetarian cooking. You'll cover your eyes in fright as the murderous Broccoli Rabe leaps from the steaming pot and screams horrific gibberish while performing satanic jigs on the kitchen counter. An army of undead Taters from Paree, berets set at unholy and rakish angles, march toward Newburgh, NY, leaving a path of death and destruction along with many unwanted peelings. My only gripe with this book was the ending--Julia Childs' overly gruesome and bloody struggle with a giant cyclops string bean just doesn't work for me. I certainly enjoyed the gor--and the many helpful tips on steaming rice--but when Julia's All-Girl Kung Fu Army emerges and kills the string bean with a barrage of Almondine, it just didn't ring true.
