Product Description
Product Description
Everything you need to know to assess, understand, and improve a hangover is here: dozens of comforting recipes, very clever graphic tests for analyzing your state of mind, and quizzes for tracking your progress.
A good hangover brings its victim to a new state of mind—and one that, when looked at objectively, can be quite fascinating to its host: It can create an increased awareness of the body, a willingness to eat something usually off limits, and a fascination with the mind’s strange acrobatics. With P. G. Wodehouse’s six hangovers—The Broken Compass, The Sewing Machine, The Comet, The Atomic, The Cement Mixer, and The Gremlin Boogie—as a starting point, recipes are tailored to each specific malady, allowing the reader to find a recipe (or just a menu item) that precisely suits his state of mind . . . and body. Interspersed with the recipes are mind games, witticisms and graphic jokes, insights into hangover science, quizzes to see if you are still drunk or now just merely hungover, and more.

This is a fantastic book! The recipes are really creative with some odd sounding creations that when made are fabulous and fitting for the morning after the night before. I would highly recommend this book for all cooking levels weather you are a beans on toast lover or a Heston Blumenthal you'll have a lot of fun with this book.

Having read and now tried several of these recipes, I highly recommend The Hungover Cookbook. Its more than just recipes - the commentary kept us chuckling and was really well written. Also loving the recipes - great variety!

Excellent little book. Full of interesting and tasty recipes, not all for the healthy eating brigade it must be said! Also you might have trouble putting some of these dishes together as not all are fit for the heavily hung over - it all depends on how much focus you can muster on the morning after. A well written, entertaining and useful book.

Not really a cookbook
Style over substance with not much cooking to be found. Obvious recipes, bad writing, will never get used, pointless. Save yourself the money and have an extra pint

hmmmmm
I don't think I could be bothered to make half of these things when I'm hungover and i really wouldn't fancy any of his "super foods" when a trip to mcdonalds would suffice.
