Unfortunately Named Cookbooks

[Anna Blume]

In searching the catalog of the D.C. Public Library for Middle-Eastern cookbooks, I came upon Pita the Great.

Can you top that?

The most unfortunately named cookbook I have seen is "Can you Take the Heat; the WWF is Cooking."

I saw a book called "First, Take Two Leeks"

I think this one is the winner.

The most unfortunately named cookbook I have seen is "Can you Take the Heat; the WWF is Cooking."

That's actually a pretty good title. It's the concept that's unfortunate!

Definitely going to have to look through the cookbook shelves when I get home. I doubt I have anything that can top those puns; the best I can finagle would be Manifold Destiny: The Guide to Cooking on Your Car Engine, and Chef Executive Officer - an old collection of recipes from Silicon Valley technology executives.

"Incest and Morris Dancing" by Jonathan Meades.

Here is a synopsis from Amazon:

"This book is the work of 15 years: weekly restaurant columns in "The Times" and over 100 weeks spent in provincial British hotels. Meades, more than any other British food writer, has tried everything and everywhere once and this book is the record of that gravy-stained odyssey. It isn't always pretty but it is the authoritative record of the alleged British gastronomic revolution of the past 20 years. But much more than that, this is a treasure trove of Meades's singular and audacious prose, a heady mix of acute social observation, architectural and topographical commentary, deep satirical humour and an unshakeable commitment to telling the truth, whatever the consequences."

My MIL gave me a cookbook for Christmas once that she had picked up at a yard sale: *The Dental Implant Cookbook.* All kinds of delectable mush to eat while your implants are healing.
