Monstrous Depravity: A Treatise on Traditional Maine Cooking

John Gould believes that food should consist mostly of good things to eat. Here he summons up with a generous garnish of risible anecdote an earlier day when natural foods were the only kind there were and meals were lovingly prepared. Recalling simpler days Gould waxes nostalgic about such subjects as bread coffee and molasses cookies. Being of practical mind he even throws in a few mouth-tingling recipes--from custard pies to clambakes. Rounded out with humorous drawings from his old friend F.W. Saunders this is a truly original take on Yankee cookery.
