"Cooking Out of This World" by Anne McCaffrey is a unique and delightful cookbook that combines science fiction and culinary arts in a fascinating way. The author, who is best known for her Dragonriders of Pern series, brings her creativity and imagination to the kitchen, offering readers a collection of recipes inspired by her science fiction novels. The book is divided into several sections, each one dedicated to a different science fiction world or setting. Readers can explore recipes from the planet Pern, the spaceships of the Federation, and the Crystal Singer series, among others. The recipes themselves are accessible and easy to follow, with ingredients that can be found in any well-stocked grocery store. However, it's the creative twists and turns that McCaffrey takes with each recipe that make this book so special. For example, the "Dragon's Egg Omelette" is a dish inspired by the dragon eggs in the Pern series. The omelette is made with eggs, cheese, and vegetables, but it's the addition of food coloring that gives it the appearance of a dragon's egg. The "Federation Stroganoff" is a dish that combines traditional beef stroganoff with space-age ingredients like textured vegetable protein and soy sauce. But "Cooking Out of This World" is more than just a collection of recipes. It's also a celebration of the power of imagination and creativity. McCaffrey encourages readers to use their own creativity when cooking, to experiment with different ingredients and techniques, and to create their own science fiction-inspired dishes. Overall, "Cooking Out of This World" is a fun and engaging cookbook that will appeal to science fiction fans and foodies alike. It's a unique addition to any cookbook collection, and a testament to Anne McCaffrey's boundless imagination and creativity.
