Summary: One of my favorite books
Comment: The first thing you are likely to wonder is why used copies of this book often go for [fifty dollars] or more in online auctions. Here's why. Once having read it, you'd really truly miss the ability to share it with disbelieving friends. I admit, I am biased, since I happen to have the same type of vehicle/kitchen used in the writing and testing of these recipes. If you own a different type of vehicle, your mileage may vary. Sorry, couldn't resist. It's hilarious reading even if you don't have the guts to try it yourself. The somewhat prosiac nature of the recipes, as derided by one reviewer, actually serves to heighten the surrealism. If you're attracted to the title, the book won't disappoint.

Summary: an enduring winner
Comment: I have an old edition of this book (eighties) and I have been amused by it from start to finish. The premise sounds wacky but the authors, despite their obvious humor, are serious. Anyone who likes to cook will love this book- in fact, the more serious the better, since the book takes such a preposterously irreverent approach to recipes and dining.

It's also uniquely American- I can't imagine this book being born in any other culture. Buy it, if you can find it, it's a gem.

Summary: Minimal information
Comment: This book could more easily be a phamphlet. It has very little useful information; it is heavy on very boring personal anecdotes. Lots of fill. Lots of useless pictures of motors and the like. A number of recipes, but most of them you could make up yourself. Example: fish and butter and oregano. Duh! It does cover the basics of how to cook on an enging and what not to do. This could be done in 2 pages.
