Eat, Drink, and Be Kinky: A Feast of Wit and Fabulous Recipes for Fans of Kinky Friedman

by Mike McGovern

Book Overview

The work you are about to read is far more than a cookbook. Eat, Drink, and Be Kinky will have a broad, engaging appeal not only to serious gourmands but also to alcoholics and sex perverts as well. In fact, I think of this book as sort of a culinary version of James Joyce's Ulysses. McGovern's masterwork, to my mind, compares quite favorably with Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. For one thing, it's shorter.

Customer Reviews

It made me rub my belly.

Good food, good times. For a country girl, these recipes are finger lickin' good.

I look forward to more from Mike McGovern...

I loved this book! My favorite recipes are the Steve Rambam Jailhouse Chili, Son of Chicken McGovern, and the Beer Bread. McGovern's recipes are fun, tasty, and easy to make--what makes this cookbook so appealing is that it lacks the impersonal, robotic listing of ingredients and the cold, almost clinical approach to cooking that most mainstream cookbooks have. McGovern's book is warm and inviting--like sitting in the kitchen of an old friend who considers cooking for you a pleasure he never tires of. I highly recommend it and look forward to his next one.

If Dunleavy survived after eating book must be good

Especially interested in Chicken Vodka as formerly served at Costellos prepared by George and served by Herbie with finger on plate...that author had time to cook and research recipes and have them vetted by insurance company is truly amazing-now that he is going to Europe-will await Continental cuisine tome

All that Chicken McGovern and now I learn what it is.

A dish-by-dish compendium to accompany Kinky's books. Opal would have loved it. Frank McCourt's recipe may be the best Irish offering yet. I hope this book becomes a financial pleasure for McGovern and all others in the Lion's Head Authors Retirement Fund.
