A Lovecraft-inspired cookbook with recipes to whet your appetite and threaten your sanity

Reading about the slime- covered, non- Euclidean ruins of the sunken city of R’lyeh or the squamous, tentacled deity who slumbers there would make anyone hungry. Starting with the puns and working from there, authors Mike Slater and Thomas Roache have summoned forth 50 funny, bizarre, and horrible dishes such as:

• The Deep Fried Deep One
• Nog Sothoth
• Cthus-Koos
• The Great Old Buns
• The Gin and Miskatonic

Like H. P. Lovecraft’s Necronomicon, the legendary and forbidden book of the dead that is “alien to all sane and balanced readers,” this cookbook contains many dark (but still delicious) secrets within its pages. The book comes infested with sanity- melting and mouth- watering illustrations, as well as annotations full of crazed discoveries and desperate warnings about the recipes that brave readers will undertake.

NEW ENGLAND DAMNED CHOWDER

NEW ENGLAND DAMNED CHOWDER

SERVES FIVE, AS EACH OF THE CORNERS OF AN INVERTED PENTAGRAM

In a dutch oven or other capacious cooking vessel, cook the swine meat of divine glory over medium heat. One quarter hours should see them crisp, remove then to parchment to drain. Squander not the juices of the meat, for now shalt thou baptise the onion, celery, and garlic, saut´ing one twelfth hour or until tender. As for the fate of the potatoes: add them now, along with the water, clam juice, boullion, pepper, and thyme. Boil it!

Boil it all! Once at a boil, reduce heat.

Patience now . . . simmer unveiled for 15 to 20 minutes or until the many cubed are tender.

In a small skull— or bowl—combine the flour and 1 1/ 2 cups of the heavy cream until smooth. Stir this slowly into the rest. Bring all to a boil; mutter the incantation, as instructed below, and stir until thickened.

Add slowly the clams as well as the remaining heavy cream, and put it again to the flame until warmed through, yet not boiling. Crumble in the reserved bacon, Prince of Meats, leaving some for a garnish on top.

WHAT YE MUST OFFER

  • 5 center-cut bacon strips, thick cut
  • 1 small onion, 2 stalks celery, 2 small cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 4 potatoes, cubed
  • 1 cup water, 1 (8-ounce) bottle clam juice, 4 teaspoons chicken bouillon
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups heavy cream, divided equally
  • 2 (51-ounce) cans chopped clams

5 out of 5 stars
Just Awesome!!!
There is nothing to dislike about this book. It is now my favorite cook book. The recipes are great-all the ones I've tried so far have turned out very well. I just so enjoyed the whole format of the book starting with the title and cover. The illustrations are great and I actually couldn't bring myself to throw this up on my cookbook shelf and it is now doubling as a halloween deco on my coffee table. The entertainment value alone is worth the price of this book. So yes, I just confessed to sitting around and reading a cookbook for entertainment. I hope the author will see it in their heart to do an E.A. Poe, Middle Earth, Terry Pratchett and etc style cookbooks in the future!
Thank you for your feedback

    The recipes aren't anything crazy it's mostly for the illustration and cute descriptions in cult-like prose. It's a nice coffee table book and looks unique (raised embossing or whatever it's called is a nice touch on the hard-cover). The recipes all seem decent there's nothing too complex or anything so even a beginner could make most of this stuff with substitutions. (As much as I'd love to eat an albino penguin a chicken will have to do)

    I love that the summoning instructions, sorry, RECIPES, are illustrated in what looks like blood. Also love the section for "little monsters", for those of us not old enough to appreciate spirits. Also all the recipes are written in plain english in the back if the instructions are unclear (and they are occasionally, but I love it).

    But truly, the artwork in this book is fantastic. The recipes are pretty standard, nothing groundbreaking or anything, but the writing and the presentation are fantastic. Definitely the book to pull out for those halloween parties. A few recipes actually sound pretty tasty and I'm excited to try them. Husband got a 10/10 for birthday present.

    Love the look and feel of this book. The had illustrations are brillant. The wording for the recipes crack me up. I really feel like im reading something from the ancient past. Note they also rewrote the recipes to understand in modern times. I tried a few recipes but had to improvise some of the ingredients. Overall great book to have in your collection.

    I love everything about this book. It is well written and cheeky and the illustrations are gorgeously madness inducing, yet the recipes are edible and there's something in it for everyone. I appreciate the incorporation of Lovecraftian lore with the variety of recipes offered, and the fact that there's a regular cookbook section so the normies don't drive themselves to madness trying to decode this tome. It's beautifully bound and well written and something that the Great Old Ones would certainly approve of. I've shared the link and spread the gospel more times than I have tentacles to count.

    Buy. This. Book.

    At the risk of sounding like a fake review...
    I bought this for my husband as a gift. I was worried that this was going to look nice but not be worth the normal price point so I waited until it went on sale.
    I got this and hoped he would like it.
    He loves it!! He spent the entire evening just reading through it. Smiling and chuckling at all the nuances.
    I couldn't be happier with his reactions and he couldn't be happier with the book.
    I wholeheartedly recommend this for anyone who likes Lovecraft, and if you dabble in the kitchen that's even better.
    I do have to be honest and provide one caveat: my husband asked me to give this 5 stars, so I guess this is really his review. He has NEVER asked me to review anything we buy. So he must really love this book.

    This book is awesome! It has so many more recipes that I thought it would and they are all set up in a very Lovecraftian theme. Some of them are written a bit vaguely and hard to follow but there is a fix for that! At the end of the book they have included a "translation" of each into plain easy-to-follow recipes.
