This is an odd and entertaining recipe book that reflects some of the unusual cuisine in Roald Dahl's books. The recipes actually look quite good, despite titles like Stink Bugs' Eggs, Fresh Mudburgers, Lickable Wallpaper, Frobscottle, and Hair Toffee to Make Hair Grow on Bald Men. All of the different courses are covered, from Starters to Main Courses to Confectionery. I didn't get to make any of the recipes, but I thought it was a fun cookbook.

December 2013 update: Our girls read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for their local kids' book club and so we borrowed this book as well as Roald Dahl's Even More Revolting Recipes to look at the different recipes and find one to share with the other children in the club. We chose to make Strawberry-Flavored Chocolate-Coated Fudge (the first recipe from this book, on pages 8-9) and it came out great.

Looks gory but actually works

I tried a few of the recipes compiled by Josei Fison and the book has all you need to make my day.
Excellent photography and graphic illustrations.

A must for any kitchen and a great coffee table book. You can also add this to your Roald Dahl library collection.

Not a story - recipes of food Roald uses in all his story's. Some of them are good too.
