Editorial Reviews

Review

From singin’ together to cookin’ together, the guys from Smash Mouth are not only the real rock ‘n’ roll deal, they are true food dudes too. (Guy Fieri, star of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives)

These guys are great, they live to rock like I live to cook. (Michael Symon, Iron Chef; owner of Roast Detroit)

If anyone knows their favorite dishes from Cabo Wabo Cantina Steve Harwell will. He’s been a regular at Cabo Wabo Birthday bashes and I consider him a party veteran.
(Sammy Hagar, rockstar; owner of Cabo Wabo Cantina)

I love being part of this cookbook because it’s young and fresh, just like me! (Michael Richard, chef; owner of Central Washington D.C.)

Not as bro-tastic a cookbook as you'd think

July 4, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I got this as a joke but a lot the recipes actually look pretty good and come from restaurants around the U.S. and include dishes like creme brûlée and filet mignon. No, the guys in Smashmouth didn't come up with these, they just liked them and the chefs were happy to share recipes in exchange for a little publicity. Admittedly, I was a little disappointed. I was expecting it'd be like a Guy Fieri cookbook, with every recipe name and instructions overlaid with some rock-n-roll 'tude, though you get your fair share of that in Guy's intro, next to a photo of him in a flame shirt, holding a pan with flames in it. Also, Guy actually types out words like rockin' without the g. You can't write better parody than this intro. And there is the amusement factor of photos of the band mugging in shades and throwing rock hands juxtaposed beside recipes for dishes such as "Pink Lady Apple and Arugula Salad." And it's hard to imagine the guys who write the chapter introductions -- all of which are written as if transcribed, without any editing except for the f-bombs, which have all been changed to frick or freak, if not starred out. Because they're bad-*** enough to swear, but still family-friendly for the young Shrek fans who want this.

The chapter introductions are basically anecdotes illustrating that Smash Mouth a. rock, b. are cool, c. are unafraid to do their own thing, d. are sometimes misunderstood, e. have sold a lot of albums and that Steve Harwell is essentially the coolest person to have ever lived. Also, their tour bus is frickin' sweet. Again, brilliant self-parody.

One downside for those who either like Smashmouth and cooking and bought this sincerely or acquired this as a joke and then decided they might try some recipes from it is that, due to the road tour theme, the recipes go by state (and not alphabetically or contiguously) rather than type of dish. I suppose that's what the index is for. Which reminds me, I haven't read the index yet -- it could be pretty funny...

Recommended if you love Smashmouth and/or unintentional humor combined with decent recipes from restaurants across the country.

If someone buys this for you ironically, DO NOT OPEN IT

June 17, 2015

Format: Paperback

I have this book. I was purchased for me ironically by a friend. I opened it once, but instead of pages, it just had a toothless, gaping maw that screamed wordlessly without ceasing. It fired an arcane beam at my oven, which in turn opened a portal to a hellish painscape that drew me in, scraped out my eyes, packed the cavities with jalapeños and then drowned me in The Lake of Donkey Sauce.

After reading Kelsey Grammer's "Fraiser" cookbook, "Tossed Salad & Scrambled Eggs," I was skeptical about another cookbook by a Hollywood superstar. But as a party dad this book ripped my breasts off. The recipes made my mouth hot and wet. The bold intro by Guy Fieri (the baddest boy thats ever lived) made me feel like i was ..."Walkin' on the Sun." ;)
The cons:
A) The Sammy Hagar Chapter. The whole things about aliens! Wha?
B) Listen man me want to hear about your recipe for the cabo wabo chicken not the anal probes.
3) The ingredients are hard to find.

Hey now. You're cooking. Like an ALL STAR!

Didn't think I was going to enjoy this...

May 15, 2013

Format: Paperback

Every so often a book lands on your desk that looks intriguingly strange, is something that you cannot immediately identify, might be possibly something that you could be sceptical towards from a cursory glance and yet within seconds of opening it you are enchanted and enthralled. This is one of these books.

Perhaps it helps that this reviewer has never heard of "Smash Mouth" who, thanks to an Internet search, one understands is an American rock band from San Jose, California that has been performing since 1994. This review thus can be totally cold, objective and devoid of even any invisible "fan love". This reviewer comes to the party totally without prior knowledge or expectation.

So what are you getting? What has made this reviewer so keen and eager? This is a massive telephone book-sized collection of recipes that caught the band's eye in eateries on their various travels across the United States. No specific rhyme or reason, no focus on a specific type of cuisine. Just recipes from all over the place, ordered by state and backed up by an index at the end should you wish to dive in by ingredient or food type. There is also an index of song names too, for those who are real fans of the band but this review solely focusses on the food side of things.

The recipes are wonderfully varied. It is not just the typical "band food" you might have assumed, with just variations of pizza, wings or hamburgers. There are many little unexpected gems, such as Lobster Sandwiches, Bleu Cheese Biscuit and Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita. Each recipe is clearly laid out, well written and some engaging photographs of either the dish, the band or both follow. Unfortunately the measures are only in imperial units and there are no estimations of preparation and cooking times, so our standard little rant is applicable here.

The main thing this reviewer liked about this book was its sheer unpredictability. Each recipe is different, unrelated and a nice surprise. Other recipe books can be fine and dandy but when you have a big section of, let's say soups, you know you will get soup. Unless you start at the end of this book and read the index, you don't really know what you will be seeing next until you turn the page. This reviewer ignored the non-food information but it didn't feel like it was getting in the way. The recipes more than speak for themselves.

This is one of those books that this reviewer feels confident in saying if you have a little spare money and enjoy cooking, take a gamble on this book. It might not be a book you would have otherwise picked up off the bookshelf, yet it could be one of those great little unconventional finds. If you are a particular fan of the band, you will buy this anyway. Perhaps a promo CD of the band should have been enclosed with the book as a taster for the uninitiated...
