Chas Addams Half-Baked Cookbook : Culinary Cartoons for the Humorously Famished

At the time of his death, Charles Addams was working on this project, a cookbook with never-before-seen artwork and never before tasted and very macabre recipespublished here for the first time, along with some classic Addams cartoons about food and cooking.Food and eating were a couple of Charles Addams's favorite subjects. Hungry cannibals, witches gathering around a cauldron, or a king over his blackbird pie often populated his celebrated cartoons. And, of course, Morticia of the "e;Addams Family"e; was an avid cook, adding a touch of eye of newt or popping over to the neighbors for a cup of cyanide. So it should come as no wonder that in the 1960s Charles Addams was dabbling with a "e;cookbook"e; idea. Addams discovered and compiled some bizarre recipes from antiquated and out-of-the-way sources. These recipes have very Addams-like names, such as "e;Mushrooms Fester"e; or "e;Hearts Stuffed,"e; and serve as a perfect complement to his drawings. Chas Addams Half-Baked Cookbook is a collection of his work on the world of food and eating, featuring many Addams drawings that have never been seen before, as well as some of his all-time classics.
