That Which Doesn't Kill Us, Leaves Us With Great Recipes!
2 Aug 2002
Format:Hardcover
I heard the authors being interviewed on NPR and knew I had to get this book! They share stories from all stages of their lives, add great recipes and always make you wonder if a woman really had to endure these males. During the interview, they came clean that not all the stories came from them, but some happened to a 'freind-of-a-friend'. The fun part is trying to figure out which is which.
Knowing that the two most powerful things in most of our lives are food and love, this is a clever twist on short stories. Each story has a complimentary recipe associated with it. All I have to say is you are bound to met interesting men while working at farms. (You'll have to read the stories) Who would have thought it could be such a pick-up place?!?!?
I highly recommend this crafty culinary romp for the recipes and the stories. They will make you laugh, cringe, shake your head in belief (yes, not disbelief)and hungry!

Ummm.....it's a COOKBOOK, not a novel....
3 Oct 2004
Format:Hardcover
OK, so I've read the other reviews and I'm a little confused, I was under the impression that this was a cookbook with a twist.
That's the premise under which I purchased and have used this book. I don't think the authors intended this to be a great read, just a collection of good recipes with ancedotes about the boys or men that provided the recipes.
Now, about the recipes... I have made several dishes and all have been fantastic. The recipes are divided into six categories:Sweet, Fluffy Things, Savory, Spicy, Slippery and Substantial Things. The recipes I've tried (and loved) are:
Liam's Refrigerator Cookies
Arthur's Easy Apple Dessert
Wesley's Cottage Cheese Pancakes(delicious!)
Josh's Spinach-Strawberry Salad (great for potlucks)
Will's Wonderful Wings
Sullivan's Cold Rice Salad(goes great with the wings)
Brady's Pepper cheese dip(awesome)- this recipe alone is worth the price of the book.
Ezra's Sticky Chicken -- My Favorite Recipe
If traditional cookbooks are your thing, this is not the book for you. But if you want some unique, easy and pretty darn good recipes, you won't be disappointed.

It's on my Women's Lit reading list!
24 July 2002
Format:Hardcover
This book is not only humorous, it is smart. The authors have managed to put forth a work of post-feminism that puts the men in the kitchen. The short stories that accompany the recipes allow the authors the chance to muse on loves that have left their lives, but in no way have left them bitter or helpless. Instead, they have taken what was left and made it sweet--or in some cases savory! The Ex-Boyfriend Cookbook is on my reading list for the Women's Lit course I teach in fall.
