NEWS: Hellbent for Cooking – The Heavy Metal Cookbook

November 12th, 2009 | Author: Peter Hodgson

Thanks to Peta Pledger for alerting me to this most awesome of publications: HELLBENT FOR COOKING: The Heavy Metal Cookbook, by Annick Giroux “The Morbid Chef.”

Now, it’s actually my contention that the most metal food in the world is the Portuguese BBQ Chicken Burger from Nando’s, but that hallowed peri peri masterpiece is given a run for its fistfuls of metal by this book, which is released November 24.

From the blazing stovetop of Montreal’s Annick Giroux comes an inspired international heavy metal cookbook full of favorite recipes from members of Thin Lizzy, Mayhem, Anthrax, Kreator, Sepultura, Destruction, Possessed, Obituary, Accept, Doro, Gwar, Toxic Holocaust, Saint Vitus, Amebix, Uriah Heep, Budgie, and many more. Hellbent for Cooking features ravishing recipes for ravenous appetites with a varied menu of over a hundred recipes from thirty countries, including Yorkshire Pudding from England, Beer Pizza Crust from Germany, Spaghetti Barracuda from Italy, Farikal from Norway, Country Lamb Exohiko from Greece, Churrasco from Brazil, and Mushroom Steak a la Jack Daniel’s from the United States.

The dishes are legendary, and so are the bands. Feel the heat of thrash metal pioneers Sepultura, Kreator, Anthrax, and Nuclear Assault; devour the proto-metal heavy rock of Thin Lizzy, early Judas Priest, and Uriah Heep; savor the slow-cooked doom of Pentagram and Saint Vitus; and revel in the extreme cuisine of underground pioneers Autopsy, Death, Repulsion not to mention Norway s infamous black metal chefs Mayhem and Gorgoroth.
Afterwards, Doro Pesch of Warlock serves her Black Forest Cake, and Richard Christy from Death pours his trademark cocktail, the mighty Viking Testicle.

The full flavorful menu of appetizer, breakfast, lunch, dinner, vegetarian, seafood, dessert, and drink recipes includes contributions by members of:
