My recipe-- Caution--- Disclaimer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Ok, my recipe is in this book, but I have never made it from the measurements listed. It would probaly make 40 pounds of noodles anyway. On the lot I just kinda put things togther without measuring (My bus did not have room for measuring cups anyway) But this book is fun!!! Elizabeth wrote this with a lot of love. I would still be out there cooking for everyone if I could. So much love for one lifetime!!! Thanks Jerry!!!
Love it

"Cooking With the Dead" is full of fabulous pictures and interviews with Deadheads and some great recipes. I was kind of disappointed that there were recipes for beef kabobs and tuna melts in what I had thought would be a vegetarian cookbook, but I overlooked them. 3 Bean Veggie Chilli is a tasty dish I have enjoyed making. The Gilly Melt is quite tasty, and I am very intrigued by "Wheel-of-Creation-Vegan-Organic-No-Electricity-Sprouted-Wheat-Berry Pizza", I long for a wheat grass grinder. The Energy Nuggets are really great as are the Apple space cakes. Its a fun cookbook, and memoir of a people.
This cook book is great!

This book is great! The only problem we had with it is the fact that most recipies are made to feed more people then live on my block....Both of the Homebrew recipies have been up-dated and improved.
A classic collection of great food and quality writing...

i have read this book from cover to cover...many times over...there is something very aesthetically appealing about the whole process...good food, simple, easy to follow instructions, and a great read while waiting for pasta to boil, or for samosas to brown...enjoy!
A book with SPice!

The Dead CAN cook!! I did not know this until i read Cooking With The Dead. This collection of photos, interviews, and recipes centers around Grateful Dead followers. The recipes for anything from Magical Burritos to brownies to fruit punch are vegetarian, and most concotions allow you to throw in herbs and spices galore. Grateful Dead fans most often have less than sufficient means to prepare meals, so most of this great food is made easily and in a small amount of time . The pages in between recipes display Dead fans over portable stoves and mounds of food, couples dancing and embracing, musicians playing their favorite Dead songs, and people..well..just being Dead. Enjoy the show, the music, and THE BOOK!!
