The Hungover Cookbook

Product Description

Everything you need to know to assess, understand, and improve a hangover is here: dozens of comforting recipes, very clever graphic tests for analyzing your state of mind, and quizzes for tracking your progress.
 
A good hangover brings its victim to a new state of mind—and one that, when looked at objectively, can be quite fascinating to its host: It can create an increased awareness of the body, a willingness to eat something usually off limits, and a fascination with the mind’s strange acrobatics. With P. G. Wodehouse’s six hangovers—The Broken Compass, The Sewing Machine, The Comet, The Atomic, The Cement Mixer, and The Gremlin Boogie—as a starting point, recipes are tailored to each specific malady, allowing the reader to find a recipe (or just a menu item) that precisely suits his state of mind . . . and body. Interspersed with the recipes are mind games, witticisms and graphic jokes, insights into hangover science, quizzes to see if you are still drunk or now just merely hungover, and more.

The Hungover Cookbook
by Kevin (5 out of 5 stars)
April 24, 2014

I'm currently hungover. I used this book a couple times. I almost burnt down my house once using this book. But it's my fault, not the book's. I highly recommend taking the quiz in the beginning of the book, so you can figure out what meal to prepare.

Great white elephant gift

We bought this for a white elephant gift and I almost kept it! Think of it more as a - let's see what you already have in your kitchen to make for hangover food with humor thrown in along the way. Lots of fun little quizzes that even a hungover zombie will appreciate.

Excellent gift idea
by Michelle Allen (5 out of 5 stars)
July 2, 2019

This was a perfect small birthday gift for a friend of mine! For a 23-year-old, he's a bit of an aspiring chef as well as, of course, a frequenter of the bars with his buddies...hangovers are inevitable. I honestly bought this as more of a gag gift, but upon receiving it, it was clear that it was so much more than just a funny cookbook. With all the quizzes, jokes, and fun facts, this book ended up being incredibly insightful and educational as well! I recommend it to any of the young 20-somethings (and those who are still 20-somethings at heart) in your life!

Product arrived on time and in perfect condition/packaging.

Fun book
by Talia (3 out of 5 stars)
June 23, 2019

Has some cute stories, quizzes to find what kind of hangover you have, things like that. As a cookbook it's a little disappointing though -- a lot of the recipes have weird ingredients (curry leaves, bonito flakes, tahini paste) or fresh fruits and vegetables that you will have likely needed to plan ahead to have ready.

I can't imagine anyone's going to be planning eagerly ahead for a hangover while shopping.

I ended up having to send this back due to shipping issues because it was a gift and her birthday passed by the time i got it (UPS delays not the sellers) BUT; when i did get it i took a glance at it and almost kept for myself. Looks like there are some good recipes in there and it is pretty funny. GREAT 21st or whatever age birthday gift for a chef or cook in your life. (that was my plan)

An Amazing Housewarming Gift Ever!!
by Taylor (5 out of 5 stars)
January 10, 2019

I received this book as a gift for my housewarming party, and boy did I love it! So when the opportunity came when a friend of mine also had a "stock the bar" housewarming party (where everyone brings their favorite their alcohol to stock the host's bar in their new house - they are really fun) I had to buy her this book as well. The book was a major hit!

Bought as a Christmas present, but I can expect they will love it. I really like the "test" in the front of the book before the recipes. The only thing that I would have liked even more, if they had pictures of all the food in the book. Other then that, I can't wait to give this as a gift

Great gift
by Kelly Green (5 out of 5 stars)

My friend was thoroughly entertained and enlightened when she got this for her 21st birthday. While I haven't had any of the recipes in the book she says the ones she has tried have been simple & delicious. I would definitely recommend as a fun gift for anyone who drinks regardless of their age.
