This is a Hobbit-themed cookbook by an author who actually did her research into Tolkien foodways. The recipes themselves aren't quite professional-level (this one, in particular, could have benefited from her being a bit more specific about si
Not strictly a cookbook, but the "cookery" sections -- there were 3 in all -- did offer a full cookbook's worth of recipes. The Lemon Lightning was just lemonade, although made with a shortcut that has been revived and rebranded as a "hack" num
This little gem of a cookbook was published in 1973. Most of the names and inside references I don't get or remember. but others I do. Wow, ancient history. And weird recipes. And way, way too many Jell-O salads involving coleslaw. The Hubert H
WrestleMania was 2 nights, so I thought I could do 2 in a row, too. Cooking the chili (which was amazing) was put on pause while I watched the show and aftershow, though, so I didn't get around to actually patching together and uploading the ep
The obligatory Wrestlemania episode, featuring a recipe named after a wrestler who is actually not scheduled to appear (although you never actually know who's going to show up). The bean dip turned out to be one of those things that kind of loo
Anyone and everyone can get Spam in their inbox, but yay me, I'm special, I got Spam in the mail. Literally. A promo from the Hormel company consisting of 2 cans of Spam, several Spam-themed utensils, and, yippee, a Spam cookbook. So I cooked w
This not-quite-vintage but old enough to be laughably out-of-date cookbook dates from 2008, so assuming it was published before August that year it at least predates Aaron Rodgers' tenure with the Packers. I don't care for Mr. Rodgers one bit.
Finally, my 12th and last episode of Cooking with Astrology from the Sydney Omarr/Mike Roy 1969 book of the same name. I saved the worst for last...Okay, I don't actually know any Capricorns, at least as far as I know. But then, I don't know th
At long last, the recipe I (mis)remembered for over 20 years, and the main reason I was bound and determined to track down the book again. The recipe couldn't be simpler: cook some bacon, crumble it, top iceberg lettuce with the bacon (or spina
Another very late episode, this one for Scorpios. Sorry, Scorpios, if I even know any. But that's what you get for having a far more interesting sun sign than I do. You get to be all mysterious and intriguing (if possibly slightly pervy), while
It seems I never have time to do anything but post these astrology episodes these days, and at the absolute last minute, at that. Anyway, the Libra recipes were less exciting than I expected, but this blue cheese bread is too good. I ate half t
With just hours to spare before the sun enters Libra, I present the long-delayed Virgo episode. Oatcakes, which were kind of plain, but could have been wonderful...the jury's still out, though. They seem like the kind of thing that could grow o
This episode is extremely late, I know. The first part was recorded about 2 months ago when the sun was still, in fact, in Leo (just barely), but the second part not until the sun was almost out of Virgo. So, whoops. But it was time for the ann
This is a recipe for escargots cooked in red wine that was chosen by my son - I asked him to pick a recipe for this episode since he's a Cancer and I was going to make this for his birthday, but I'm actually a day late. In case you are wonderin
A dubious kids' cookbook I got from Dollar Tree -- and yet, the recipe I made was surprisingly good. In this episode I didn't actually sample and give a verdict on-air since I forgot, but the Invasion Bites were actually one of the best recipes
No, Bing's last name isn't Crosby, and he's no crooner. He's just some kibbitzing dead son of a butcher who thinks he knows how everyone else should cook steak. He's a bit heavy-handed with the salt, is what I think. Perhaps that's what killed
The Gemini chapter of Cooking With Astrology turned out to be full of all kinds of weirdness. The recipe I ultimately ended up choosing wasn't too exciting, but it was...okay. A ringing endorsement for the Gemini menus. Sorry, Geminis, you dese
This is chapter (and episode) two of the WWF cookbook Can You Take the Heat? I meant to air this in time for Money in the Bank, but I'm a week late and a Million Dollar Man short. Not that this book actually has any recipes from Ted DiBiase, si
Today, on a very special episode of Quirky Cookbooks, we celebrate a very obscure holiday indeed, currently being observed by one person and two dogs in a tiny enclave in primitive Milwaukee, Wisconsin...my birthday! Yes, I'm a Taurus, and in t
This recipe is another one that's from something that's not exactly a cookbook, but it is from a comic book (okay, graphic novel if you prefer, but I do not prefer, since I love non-superhero comic books but have always found the term "graphic
And now for something completely different: Parsley Does Thyme is the third book in a series by author Linda Olle (originally from Racine, WI, but long a resident of NYC's Upper East Side). The books on this series are novel/cookbook hybrids ab
This is another special episode, in honor of Wrestlemania 36, the only sports event of spring 2020. It's kind of weird with no audience, although this audience-free format did allow for that OTT Boneyard Match, which was basically like the figh
In this episode, I finally get around to cooking a recipe for Aries - Shrimp Maison, which is shrimp sauteed in butter, wine and cream. I finally get to use a shallot I've had lying around for a month or so (not really sure why I bought it in t
This episode is for my dad's birthday, which is today, March 12. The recipe is from a new (to this show) cookbook, the Metropolitan Opera Cookbook from 1988. It was contributed by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, who was not the first but certainly the bes
This is the first episode from a new mini-series based on a cookbook that was produced by a collaboration between a ghost whisperer, a ghost writer, and more than 100 ghosts. The recipe was meant to be in honor of Mardi Gras/Carnival, but...wel
