More delicious than Scone With the Wind! Hotter than The Wild Brunch! More chilling than The Texas Chainsaw Moussaka! Have you ever been tempted to fry someone's liver with fava beans and a nice chianti? Or to try 'what she's having' in When Harry Met Sally? And just what do the hobbits eat in "The Lord of the Rings"? Expanding on his popular DVD Dinners column in "The Times", food and film writer Feargus O'Sullivan takes us on a witty tour of weird and wonderful cinematic cuisine, providing a menu for more than a dozen different movie nights, from Musicals, Horror Movies and Gangster Flicks to Bond Films as well as more risque fare. Whatever kind of film you're into, Pulp Kitchen will satisfy your appetite. It is the only book for the food-loving film fan.
I've just skimmed through and it's okay, but not all that hilarious. I like the Bloody Popcorn (inspired by Scream) and the Liver, Fava Beans & "A Nice Chianti" recipe. Essentially, it's a novelty book that isn't that novel. Good thing I got this very cheaply at a book sale.
A novelty. Combination of truncated film review, referring when possible to something eaten in the film, and a miscellany of recipes. A one off read of no practical value I'm amazed that people ever bought it for £10. My copy was withdrawn from my library at 30p, all it's worth.
