62 | Recipes | January, 1973 | N/A | Non-Fiction | From Amazon.com: "Anne McCaffrey's cookbook, featuring real (you can cook them) recipes created by science fiction and fantasy writers such as Harlan Ellison, Ursula K. Le Guin, Avram Davidson and of course Anne McCaffrey herself. Mixed in with the recipes are stories and anecdotes about how they were created - some longer than the recipes!" This classic from 1973 was revised and re-released by Wildside Press in 1992. The included Niven recipes (irish coffee and others) seem to be intended for a bartender rather than a chef, but then that's the role Niven often finds himself performing at conventions. | |
