Fab recipes, I Always liked the ideas he comes up with!

The recipes in this books are so appetizing and fun! I was particularly interested in the savory vegetarian recipes, like the Veggie Wedgie vegetable pie.
When I checked the book out, the librarian was so busy looking at the sandwich on the cover that she had trouble finding the barcode. She thought it looked very yummy!

I mildly like his strangeness
and 10% of his recipes ARE interesting
but i think 70% are boring or all out fruitcakey or plain junky
he tries too hard to be a fusion food clash - fad artist
and that isn't a good thing for michellin star places either
i'm merely impressed at what food he likes to eat
and to me this food is an enjoyable freak show, but his first book i think was much better
honestly the mac attack is the Pee Wee Herman of Macaroni Casseroles
cream cheese and salmon and dill
sweet potatoes and chorizo
feta and canned beans
chopped peppers and chutney
and crunchy tortilla chips for when i eat this in hell
some serious woo here

Not a diet cookbook, but definitely a live life with gusto one. Totally admit I got it for the rhubarb custard cheesecake recipe tho.
