Kitchen Overlord's Illustrated Geek Cookbook

by Chris-Rachael Oseland, Tom Gordon (Illustrator)

Kitchen Overlord's Illustrated Geek Cookbook is a lavishly illustrated, easy-to-use cookbook representing over 120 years of geek culture.

Cookbook writer Chris-Rachael Oseland and Artist Tom Gordon spent two years collaborating to create dozens of beautifully illustrated, ridiculously geeky, and, most of all, surprisingly easy recipes.
This isn't yet another collection of boring nachos and cookies with recipe title puns. Instead, we give you unique recipes that look like iconic aspects of your favorite fandom.
You like science fiction? We've got recipes for Sandworms, Tribbles, Cylon Raiders, and lots more.
Prefer fantasy? How about washing those Princess Buttercups down with some Gelatinous Cube Jello Shots. Bring them both to a party and I promise, you'll add plus four to your charisma.
Are you a comic lover? How about chowing down on Captain America's Shield, Tony Stark's Arc Reactor, or Deadpool's Chimichangas.
Prefer the classics? We don't stop at old school favorites like Soylent Green and a Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy recipes. We start there, then go all the way back to the earliest days of Geek culture with tributes to Cthulhu, Sherlock Holmes, and HG Wells. Then we bring it right back to the present with recipes inspired by hit shows like Once Upon a Time and the The Walking Dead. This isn't just a comic. It's not just a cookbook. It's an illustrated encyclopedia of the best of geek culture.

I haven't gotten to make any of the recipes yet, but they look amazing. I've read it pretty much cover to cover just because the recipes are funny and reference-tastic. I'll be prepared for the next theme gathering around a TV season premiere or movie premiere.

It's amusing and full of cute in jokes, but it's not much of a cookbook.

The Kickstarter created expansion of the Kitchen Overlord website doesn't disappoint. The graphics are gorgeous and the recipes geeky, hilarious, and yummy.
