I couldn't resist a cookbook featuring some of my favorite authors! I read it through to familiarize myself with the recipes (in hopes that recipes might leap to mind for future cooking projects). There's a wide variety of food and drink to choose from, plus, since these are science fiction writers, plenty of amusement. It was a delightful read and I look forward to bringing these dishes to life in my kitchen.

I expected more spoof recipes but it turns out they're all solid.

A fun read! I love reading cookbooks anyway and this one was full of stories and amusing recipes. Reminded me of the delightful [b:Nanny Ogg's Cookbook: A Useful and Improving Almanack of Information Including Astonishing Recipes from Terry Pratchett's Discworld|34509|Nanny Ogg's Cookbook A Useful and Improving Almanack of Information Including Astonishing Recipes from Terry Pratchett's Discworld|Terry Pratchett|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1438171527s/34509.jpg|592520] but since each recipe was a different author, you got a range of humor and style. I also enjoyed learning little tidbits about authors I have read but knew next to nothing about personally. And some of the recipes I really want to try!
