Eat What You Want and Die Like a Man, Cookbook of the Day

by Nicole Weston, Posted Jun 13th 2006 @ 8:08AM

This is the world's unhealthiest cookbook, at least, it is if you believe the subtitle. Eat What You Want and Die Like a Man is a book of humorous essays and has about two dozen recipes for dishes like lard-fried, yeast-raised doughnuts, coconut flan and five-hundred-calorie brownies. Each recipe is comfort food with lots of fat and lots of flavor - possibly dishes like ones that your grandmother made, especially if you grew up in the South or used a lot of bacon grease in your cooking. In terms of the writing, the book is more about humor than recipes. Graham doesn't take much seriously and, as long as you aren't easily offended, you'll get more than a few laughs out of the writing. You can check out his blog to get an idea.

In reality, the world's unhealthiest cookbook will probably be titled "1001 Ways to Enjoy Whipping Cream and Sugar" when it is written. This book will probably just go down as a funny read and, health-wise, is nothing that a couple of good, long jogs can't take care of. Or some more bacon grease and another doughnut.
