Marcy Bunch Presents A Treasury of Rat Cuisine: Or How to Make The Most Of A Rat, After It Is Killed And More.

The recession has put a lot of strain on the grocery bill, especially for those with families or friends to feed. But that doesn't mean having to skip gourmet food and a balanced diet. This book has everything, from roasting coffee at home to concocting inexpensive crave-worthy casseroles to whipping up snacks on a shoestring. Chapters include "Hashed Rats," "Rat Dumplings," and feature other irresistible recipes from Boiled Rat and Gourmet Rat-Head Broth to a sumptuous Stewed Rat that stretches the tasty rodent over five different courses. The audience for this new edition of A Treasury of Rat Cuisine is the busy cook looking for a quick solution as well as the gourmet looking for new ideas for using these ingredients. It will also appeal to frugal cooks who enjoy being creative. The recipes are simple and easy to follow. Several types of dishes are represented in the recipes, including salads, entrees, sides, soups, breads, and desserts. Each chapter contains several recipes, with ample space between paragraphs for readers to record their own notes.
