Being an avid Star Wars fan, I put this item on a wish list and a friend purchased it for me.
Honestly, I thought it would just be a funny book to have and didn't expect much from the recipes (I do cook a lot and the recipes didn't seem THAT interesting other than in the way they were presented and named). I was pleasantly surprised! Here are my observations:
- The book is hilarious. Yes it is! You will have fun going through it and it always gets smiles out of your guests.
- The quality is great because the pages are plastic coated (not too thick though) meaning it will not get messy when you cook and spill ingredients all over it. This is especially great if you cook with children.
- Although I didn't expect to use this, I actually did. Granted some of the 'recipes' are not much more than common sense (eg. ice cream sunday recipe which basically lists ice cream, nuts, chocolate sauce and whipped cream as ingredients) but a few are surprisingly good. My problem being an avid cook was that I was a bit of a snob and thought I had better recipes. This is actually true. However what makes this book so useful is that it's written for children and amateur cooks, meaning everything is very very simple and quick to make. Thus you end up with some interesting recipes for when you can't really be bothered to spend hours in the kitchen. The Star Wars twist gives it a fun element and makes even mundane recipes fit for (geekier admittedly) guests who can be impressed by the cookbook and the fun names of the dishes.
In conclusion, will I make everything? No. But I definitely do use it. And have tons of fun doing it. I would recommend it for any Star Wars fan, or parent of a kid who likes Star Wars and wants to get them in the kitchen. Totally gets its 5 stars.

If you feel like doing the jabba jiggle, or having some ca-razy cantina chili then this book is for you. I bought this book for a friend who loved star wars & was into amateur cooking. But when I got the book I knew I needed one for myself! For you may be able to resist the dark side... but you sure can't resist any of the dark side salsa. Explore the recipes of this delighful book which includes Yoda soda, bossk brownies, jabba jello, boba fett-ucine, & lots more.

I was surfing for a gift for a friend who happens to be a big Star Wars freak, and found this book. When I received it in the mail, I was laughing for hours!! I have since ordered one for myself as well. The writing is hysterical, and the recipes are easy and fun. Great job!!

A great book, the recipes are delicious.
This book has a sense of humor. That's the most important thing. Next, the recipes are great! I keep MY Yoda Soda frothy, and my Wookie Cookies chewy!.

Guess I didn't grasp the concept.
This book just doesn't work for me. It was cute and all, but I guess I'm just not enough of a die-hard fan. Read more
