Weird Book of the Week - Hellbent for Cooking: The Heavy Metal Cookbook by Annick Giroux.
What hors d'oeuvres are appropriate to serve with face-melting guitar riffs? When touring in a van crammed with men in tight leather and denim in a cloud of hairspray, sweat and (various kinds of) smoke, can one safely think outside the box with a risotto or a cassoulet, or is it better to stick to more traditional comfort foods? Is there an alcohol-free hot beverage one can whip up to soothe the raspy vocal cords of someone who spends their days screaming and growling for money?
If you've ever asked yourself any of those questions, then Hellbent for Cooking: The Heavy Metal Cookbook may be right up your alley. Full of recipes from everyone's favorite metal bands like Gwar, Obituary, Toxic Holocaust and more, these recipes are sure to totally wail. Warning: hair-nets not included.
