5.0 out of 5 stars Like SF? Like cooking? Get this book!, July 26, 2002

By	Henrik "da laffin tlhIngan" (in the Anime aisle) - See all my reviews

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, February 5, 2000

By	Shadowfire (College Park, MD) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

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.
