The Hellfire Cookbook (1975)

$12.00 
SKU: 5VK10397

by John Philips Cranwell

During his years working for the CIA, John Cranwell developed a taste for delicious food and for cooking the recipes he discovered along the way. After retirement, he wrote several cookbooks which are as much fun to read as they are to cook from!

"When you acquired this book, no doubt you thought you were getting a collection of recipes for chemically hot or fiery dishes. You were. You were also getting the culinary results of millennia of economic, cultural, maritime, and to a lesser extent military history."

The heat can come from chilis, ginger, horseradish, or other spice blends. All we've tried are delicious!

 

Fun, witty and creative - this is a cookbook to read like a travel log!
