She seemed happy with it while she was flipping through it. When I looked at the book briefly before giving it to her; it seemed to have recipes AND some history; like a cool informative cookbook that doesnt play by the rules.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not many Gems HereBy WeberishThis book will not increase either your indie or culinary "cred." Most of the recipes are idiosyncratic; bordering on the pointless; and the book does not appear to be anything more than a sociologists indie-rock vanity project. Ive tried a selection of the recipes; and few taste better than diner fare. A notable exception in this regard is the recipe from Sonic Youth; which is quite delicious. Really; though? Unless youre getting this used; at a steep discount; its nothing more than a novelty cookbook/read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ehBy ShaidaDisappointed. Recipes are worthless. Good for a coffee table book though.
