WOH CookbookShortages and product delays have become a fact of life in the industrial world these days, but even so, luck sometimes breaks your way. I'm delighted to announce that The Weird of Hali Cookbook, Brecken Kendall's guide to the recipes in my tentacle fiction, is now available in print and e-book formats. Those who preordered copies should have them in a few days, and the rest of you -- well, what are you waiting for? From basic recipes such as cheese polenta (always the best thing to feed to shoggoths) up to more complicated treats such as Innsmouth fish chowder and an authentic pirate salmagundi recipe contributed by Toby Gilman, this volume has plenty of recipes you can use to stay well fed while you wait for Great Cthulhu to rise from the sea. 

I should probably mention again that all the recipes in this book are real, and none calls for ingredients you can't get this side of the plateau of Leng. Since Brecken and I share the conviction that food should be cheap, tasty, filling, and not especially complicated to make, this is also not the kind of cookbook that's meant to permit members of the overprivileged classes to show off how much money and leisure they have by wasting a lot of both turning out desperately precious yuppie chow. It's geared toward people (like Brecken, and in my younger days, me) who don't have a lot of money or a lot of time to spare, and still want to eat well. 

Interested? Print and e-book copies can be ordered direct from the publisher here and from other retailers here.  Bon appetit and Cthulhu fhtagn!

S.O.S.

Shannon, who does the heavy cleaning for my wing, came in to do the rugs and countertops while I was typing this up, and I mentioned the recipe to her. She immediately said just what you said above, Food Wizard, and we exchanged memories of variations on this dish. From Connecticut, where I lived in those days, to Florida for her, some things are apparently universal.
