The Necronomnomnom: Recipes and Rites from the Lore of H. P. Lovecraft
Description
H. P. Lovecraft's work is about more than just tentacles and cold, fishy eyes. Based on his lore, this truly unconventional cookbook is packed with terrifying dishes. Book in English.
Reading about the slime-covered, non-Euclidean ruins of R'lyeh or the squamous, tentacled deity who slumbers there would make anyone hungry. Starting with puns, Mike Slater and Thomas Roache have summoned forth 50 funny, bizarre and horrible dishes such as: The Deep Fried Deep One, Nog Sothoth, Cthus-Koos, and The Gin and Miskatonic.
Like H. P. Lovecraft's Necronomicon, the legendary and forbidden book of the dead that is "alien to all sane and balanced readers", this cookbook contains many dark and delicious secrets. It comes infested with sanity-melting and mouth-watering illustrations as well as annotations full of crazed discoveries and desperate warnings about the recipes that brave readers will undertake.

The book is beautifully crafted. Everything is written like a potion or a ritual, which gives it a great concept and flair. I haven't cooked anything yet, though, because everything is in imperial units, and I can't convert anything beyond tablespoons or pieces off the top of my head.
- beautiful design
- imaginative
- Fahrenheit and ounces mean nothing to me...
Knížka je krásně zpracovaná, vše je psané jako lektvar, nebo rituál a má to svůj nápad a efekt. Akorát jsem ještě nevařil, protože vše je v imperiálních jednotkách a víc než “tablespoon” nebo kusy si z hlavy nepřevedu.
- hezké zpracování
- nápadité
- Fahrenheit a unce mě nic neříkají…
The recipes vary in quality, but the illustrations and the surprisingly witty overall visual style more than make up for it.
The only downside is that all ingredients are listed in imperial measurements, which makes converting them to metric quite annoying.
Recepty mají rozličnou kvalitu, ale vynahrazují to ilustrace a vůbec celé až skoro překvapivě vtipné ladění celého vizuálu.
Jediné co zamrzí, je fakt, že všechny ingredience jsou uváděny v imperiálních mírách a přepočítávat si to na naše je dost otravné.
