This is our (big) favorite cookbook of the moment. Original, sublimely illustrated, funny and boosting for our pop culture, "GastronoGeek", which we owe to Chef Thibaud Villanova and gourmet geek Maxime Léonard, is more than just a book, but a real culinary and creative adventure. The proof:there is even a dedicated trailer. Tada!
On the menu ? 144 pages, 15 essential themes of geek culture and 42 gourmet creative recipes, to discover the striking worlds of pop culture.
From "Beef Tannen Burger" to "Dome of Hoth" (Star Wars) to "The Eye of Sauron" (Star Wars), you will cross the masterpieces of science fiction, fantasy, comics, manga and even fantasy horror (we're a fan of "Barbra's Brain", the cabbage stuffed zombie brain).
The must ? Around these magnificent recipes that make us salivate, we cultivate ourselves, we learn details about these universes, the strong characters, their historical or uchronic context, all in fun, pedagogy and beautiful illustrations. A journey through time and space to do alone in the kitchen, with her husband, her friends or/and with Junior (who for once will be happy to get involved!)
And in addition, throughout this book, you will have to go in search of the ultimate taste by slipping into the shoes of a gourmet adventurer to decipher an enigma. Can you find the solution? In the meantime, you can start discovering this universe by diving into the Gastronogeek (internet) shuttle. Boarding is here:www.gastronogeek.com
