Description

The first cookbook to feature creative and delicious vegan recipes that match the quality and presentation of a five-star restaurant whilst never straying from self-parody and humour about punk rock culture and history. While exploring and improving the favourite foods of historic punk rockers through exclusive interviews, Picnic treats home chefs to the delectibles they could - and perhaps should - have been eating instead. Also included are 80 new recipes featuring Joshua Ploeg's magical food and flavour combinations that are out of this world!

Reviews

"[...] this awesome looking recipe compendium is presented in a humorous, self-effacing style that pokes fun at all things punk while simultaneously teaching you how to cook vegan-style." --Chris Auman, greenactionnews.net
"For those of us who get sustenance from punk rock as well as food, Joshua Ploeg has now conveniently combined them in one book!" --Jon Ginoli, author, "Deflowered: My Life in Pansy Division"
"The recipes range from restaurant worthy (lentil loaf, burrito with cucumber salsa) to quick and dirty (zippo smores, credit card sandwich), but it's clear Joshua knows what he's doing in the kitchen." --Alissa Saenz, connoisseurusveg.com
