This is the funniest book from a very funny author.
He has collected cookbooks and pamphlets from the 50's and 60's and basically makes snarky comments about the illustrations and recipes.
I finally gave up on trying to get the local library to put it in the humor section instead of the cookbook section. It is NOT a cookbook! Would you want to cook something from a cookbook called 'Regrettable Food'?

Like to read while you're eating like I do? Don't try it when reading THIS book. Unless you want an unpostable book when you are done due to food spewed on the pages during laughter. Lileks is one funny guy. Not one of those who tries too hard and it shows. He's just got a natural feel for what's humorous. And those photos! Hard to believe that any cook anywhere made that stuff! Very pleasant way to while away the afternoon before you have to hit the kitchen for real.
