Description

Whether it's a quiet glass of Chardonnay in a well-heeled wine bar or tequila shots at 2 a.m., drinking has a way of leading to hunger. All too often, we cave in to the booze munchies and settle for 7-Eleven fare or a dreadful diner. But there is another way. A better way. A Quick Couscous Chicken Biryani, Authentic Smoky Chicken Burritos, and even Spicy Thai-style Pork Burgers can be delectable and, more importantly, achievable with The Drunken Cookbook. Replete with satirical commentary on the vicissitudes of inebriation, The Drunken Cookbook also includes a series of tests to help the reader determine how drunk he or she is. Blessedly, The Drunken Cookbook takes into account the reader's intoxicated state and limited capacity to understand directions; safety warnings are a feature of each recipe, and risky techniques (like deep-fat frying) are excluded from the text.

Should I Buy It?

If you're looking for a unique gift that combines humor with practicality, or if you want to spice up your kitchen adventures (especially after a few drinks), this book is a great buy. Its charm and utility make it a worthy addition, though it might not suit those looking solely for a conventional cookbook.


Hilarious, fun, and practical. Save yourself from ordering pizza next time.
Format: Hardcover
I bought this as a component to "The Hungover Cookbook" as a gift for a friend. We've since read through it and I'm reviewing now. This combines the humor of a silly coffee table book with the practicality of actual recipes that can be made when intoxicated. A perfect companion for taking camping or leaving at a vacation house as I'm sure it will come in use. The recipes are easy enough to navigate when inebriated and likely healthier than snacking down two bags of potato chips or ordering pizza. In addition, it's something social to engage guests that may not be able to get themselves home. ... show more

Great book!
Format: Hardcover
This was a gift for a friend, and she absolutely loved it. The book is hilarious, and kept us amused for a good while. While most of the receipes are more English as is the humor, and therefore more American may not make many of the receipes, there are still plenty of appetizing options, and still an enjoyable read. It's a small hardcover book, but well worth the price. Again, it's extremely funny, and even more so if intoxicated. My only qualms were that the book was delivered and had a scratch on the brand new cover, and not knowing about the style of recipes ahead of time, otherwise, it was excellent. Overall, I'd absolutely buy again as a gift, or even for myself! ... show more

Best cookbook ever drunk or sober!
Format: Hardcover
I received the Hungover Cookbook as a housewarming gift, and I enjoyed it immensely! I quickly bought the Drunk Cookbook almost immediately. The author is a genius! The writing style was hilarious and the recipes were easy to follow. I definitely recommend buying the books as a gift or for a white elephant party! ... show more

Delightfully Surprising Little Cookbook
Format: Hardcover
This UK author provides lovely British humor alongside wonderful recipes. First he tests your degree of drunkenness and then he rates the recipes according to your ability to safely prepare them :) My fave is Spicy Thai-Style Pork Burgers with Cucumber Peanut Salad dressed in Shrimp Paste/Lime/Garlic! Perfect with cold beer. When he opened this birthday gift, my brother began reading it aloud to guests at his party :) ... show more

Nice gift, but nothing special
Format: Hardcover
This book is fun to read and a great little gift for a friend, however, I doubt that they will end up actually cooking any of the recipes.
