Cooking with a Serial Killer Recipes From Dorothea Puente

by Shane Bugbee

"Grandmotherly Dorthea Puente is becoming as renowned for her cooking as for being a notorious mass murder, serial killer and all around psycho"... THE SUN DORTHEA PUENTE has been accused of a lot of things... being a bad cook isn't one of them. You see, Dorothea ran a boarding house in Sacramento, Ca. and the care she provided was above and beyond other care providers, but one thing everyone involved in this case keyed in on was how awesome ALL of her tenants thought the cooking was... one tenant went as far as saying " Every Dinner at Dorothea's was like Thanksgiving Dinner!" NONE OF THEM WERE MURDERED... THEY DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES... I COULDN'T DO THAT ANYHOW, I'M NOT THAT TYPE OF PERSON... I'M TOO CARING AND I WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT MY PEOPLE EATING... EVERYBODY CAN TELL YOU THAT, WHY WOULD I SPEND MONEY FATTENING THEN UP IF I WAS GOING TO KILL THEM." ... DOROTHEA PUENTE Convicted Killer/Gormet Cook

About the author

I've done a lot of things for many years. You can google my name and pick your prejudice.

I like to express myself thru words, thru sculpture, thru art of all kind. That makes me less of a writer and more of a human who has a need to communicate with other human beings.

Reviews

I just have to see what is in this book!

So the interview was pretty much the bs I expected it to be and the poetry was awful, but I’m gonna be honest here: some of her recipes are actually REALLY good.

[Juliette]

Highly recommend if you are interested in this particular case! Love it.

If I could give it less than one star, I would.
