The Surrealist Cookbook Patricide 9780957164468 Books
This is rather a strange book, which is probably a good thing when you consider its title, a clear opposite to normality and something that is not probably going to be your typical read.In a nutshell this is a squat softback book with many "rather different" recipes, plus various bits of poetry, trivia and other things for good measure. Unlike other books that try to use visual effects to be different, this one seems to deliver a lot more in a slightly low key manner. Many of the recipes here would be suitable for jokey events such as Halloween or even a rather different stag night dinner, whether you want to shock, amaze or just amuse your guests. Not everything is necessarily scary or icky either, some of the recipes are actually interestingly curious and would look rather different at any dinner party, such as the colourful hard-boiled egg dice.
Yet this book has left this reviewer in a bit of a quandary as it is sufficiently different to be engaging or possibly worthy of purchase just by virtue of being different, yet the book does seem to be rather padded out by non-recipe materials. If this reviewer wanted a book with lots of poetry and creative writing then he would buy a book with it in. This book instead feels that it has crossed the line from material supporting the recipes to it dominating the book. One rule of thumb is if you flip through the book you should fall on more recipes than on supporting information. Sadly this is not the case here. No comment or review is made of the supporting material but it felt jarring to what should have been the core focus of the book.
So you get a couple of dozen recipes and the book is hardly expensive so it could be a great, different cookbook for someone who has everything else. Yet the presence of the "supporting material" felt, at least to this reviewer, to get in the way and made consulting the book more of a hassle than a pleasure. For this alone, it is hard to rate the book much more than average, despite its great potential and scope for being greater.
