Hello, sweetie.

Your taste buds are about to take a wibbly wobbly, timey wimey adventure through the 2005 Doctor Who reboot. Megafan and food writer Chris-Rachael Oseland spent a year rewatching all of series one through six and experimenting in her kitchen to bring you a fresh recipe for every single episode.

There are recipes in here for every level of cook. If you're terrified of the kitchen, there are things so simple even Micky the Idiot couldn't get them wrong. For the experienced chefs, there are advanced fish and beef dishes that wouldn't be amiss on the Starship Titanic. Along the way, you'll also find plenty of edible aliens to decorate the table at your next Doctor Who viewing party.

This book is a treat for any Whovian who wants to offer more than a plate of fish fingers and a bowl of custard at your next viewing party. Want to host an elegant dinner party to show off your new Tardis corset? Start the evening with a Two Streams Garden Cocktail followed by Baked Hath, Marble Cucumber Circuits with Vesuvian Fire Dipping Sauce, Professor Yana’s Gluten Neutrino Map Binder, Slitheen Eggs, and some of Kazran’s Night Sky Fog Cups for dessert.

If you’re just getting a few friends together to watch the latest episode, why not offer them an Ood Mezze Plate to munch on as stragglers wander in followed by some quick and easy Fish Custard Tacos, Open Faced Dalek Ironsides, Sontaran Soldiers, and a Cinnamon Pull Apart Crack in the Wall. They can wash it all down with a cup of the Pond’s Wedding Punch.

Lets be honest. No Whovian gathering is complete without them, so you also get an entire bonus chapter dedicated to interesting alternative takes on fish fingers and custard.

This comprehensive cookbook includes eighteen adult beverages, more than two dozen recipes for vegetarians, twenty that are safe for people with wheat allergies, and ten for the low carb dieters. You’ll be prepared for every possible guest.

The ebook also includes over 50 full color photos, a linked table of contents for easy navigation, and a useful appendix.

Put on your fez and straighten your bow tie. You own a cookbook now. Cookbooks are cool.

Geronimo!

Yes, I am an unabashed Doctor Who fan. So I am delighted by the concept of making a Slitheen skin suit from a pear, or creating a banana-nutella Dalek. But the Vampire Space Fish, Silurian Hot House salad, and Vincent's Rustic Potatoes are simply wonderful, tasty recipes put together in interesting ways. When was the last time you found a modern recipe book with a syllabub?

But to be honest, it's really the narrative of the author's episode-by-episode inspiration that makes this book fun to read, whether you actually make any of the recipes or not (you really should make a few, though).

Oh yes. There is a whole section on Fish Fingers and Custard. Opening with a recipe for British Custard (NOT the same as the American variety), the section goes on to devise a series of variations (faux fish and/or faux custard) that will appeal to any taste. Even a custard cocktail that I don't think I will try, even if I knew where to get cupcake flavored vodka.

So this is an episode-by-episode series of recipes tied to the reinstated series which began in 2005. Now, I'm a Who fan, but I'm nothing compared to Chris-Rachael Oseland! She has an encyclopaedic (bordering on obsessive) knowledge of these programs; but, she also is a very creative culinary crafts-person. Some of the recipes are in the "funny decorated snack" vein; for example a banana which is carved and tarted up to look like a Dalek. Others are what I would consider to be "real" recipes, like the "Satellite 5 Mystery Takeout Noodles," which I would I wouldn't mind trying out right now.

Each recipe has a name, the episode to which it is tied, a picture, the ingredients, and a long narrative which gives the instructions interspersed with clever and funny (or silly) discussion of the episode, how she came to decide on this recipe, and how best (or not) to present the finished product. The writing is brisk, breezy, and enjoyable. I found that I had to do some research for most of these to get the most out of her text. Hmm, now what's a Slitheen again, and why are beans on toast a good tie-in? Off to Google image -- oh right, I remember --flatulence.

If this were available in print, it would make a fine gift for that Who fan on your list. Actually, I think that the official Dr Who people should license her recipes and text, and produce a version which has official images in it.

Good job on this.

I, myself, cannot claim to be a Whovian. However, my brother definitely is and this was a birthday present for him.
Reading through before I gave it to him, it was fun to see that the author was detailed and seemed to pull in the tiniest of details from the show. Not only that, but there were historical facts in the content. I love that this is the book that keeps on giving...it has the Doctor Who content, history that some history books have left out, delicious (sounding) recipes and even photos so you know what you SHOULD be making.

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. He loved the book and can't stop talking about it.

First things first, I love Doctor Who and anything Doctor Who related I will probably jump on no matter the case. When I saw this book on Amazon I immediately had to have it.

As soon as you start reading it, the onslaught of grammatical errors can be incredibly overwhelming and just by looking at it I had this sinking suspicion that the book might have been self published. Maybe I should have really observed the title "Unauthorized Whovian Cookbook". But, that aside, I have to commend Ms. Oseland. She did put a lot of time into creating this book. You can definitely tell she studied almost every episode of Doctor Who and while I'm a fan, some of the things in this book even I don't remember. The pictures of the finished products are grainy and dark and a lot of the recipes end up saying, "Use your imagination and use this instead of that." which I could clearly do on my own if I wanted to. I am, however, excited to try the nifty cocktail recipes.

I find this more like an arts and crafts book more than a cookbook to be honest. Things like, "Find a really straight banana to make a Dalek." doesn't count as a recipe in my book.

That all being said, it's not a complete waste of my money. It's adorable, cheeky, and a bit entertaining if you're willing to devote your creative juices to creating mini villainous Doctor Who characters. If you're going to buy it, buy the Kindle version. Sadly, the print book isn't anything special.

Oh my gosh this is such an awesome book! I got this for my husband who is a major whovian. so much so that there is very little in way of dr who items that he does not already have. so when I saw this I grabbed it, just jumped right on it and I am so glad I did. Looks just like the picture shown, feels decent weight material that will not fall apart (I HOPE) also It has a bunch of great looking recipes. I have not sat down with him reading it through in detail yet to make sure it is not all a bunch of disgusting stuff or even worse it is not a regular cookbook that has regular recipes with the titles of each dish just changed into something Dr Who sounding.

If we notice either of those two things or the book falls apart or the dishes all taste like garbage I will surely return immediately after noticing anything like that and will update/amend my review and take away stars. Till then FULL STARS great job.
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2013
I almost never take the time to write reviews, but this cookbook is very deserving of one. There are a ton of very creative ideas and recipes, but the writing itself really makes the book. You can tell the author really knows geek culture and is passionate about Doctor Who. There are several in-jokes and references to the show that make it a genuinely entertaining read, even if you aren't planning on making any of the dishes in the book. It's the only cookbook that has ever made me laugh out loud. Being a vegetarian, I also really appreciate that the author includes suggestions for almost every dish with possible vegetarian substitutions. I have made several recipes from the book, and they have all come out tasting and looking great, even with my mediocre culinary skills. I cannot recommend this book enough!
