Gremlins: The Official Cookbook by Jenn Fujikawa and Erik Burnham

Break the most important rule, the rule you can never forget, with fifty recipes in Gremlins: The Official Cookbook. But don’t worry, these snacks, appetizers, main dishes, desserts, and drinks can all be eaten well after midnight.

Gremlins are everywhere, messing with everything—your car, your television, your stereos, those little radios you stick in your ears, your watches, and your cookbooks! You better look out for the little green guys with big teeth running around wrecking things, especially family heirlooms. And while Lynn Peltzer got as many out of her kitchen as possible during Gremlins, the rascally creatures still managed to rough up this Peltzer family cookbook. Thankfully, you can still learn to make family-favourite recipes from snacks to desserts, inspired by the Peltzer’s unbelievable story in Gremlins: The Official Cookbook.

Revisit the events of the zany films through delicious Christmas classics, such as Killer Gingerbread Cookies and Sheriff Frank’s Eggnog, and Kingston Falls favourites, such as Dorry’s Tavern Special, alongside Rand’s notes about his quirky kitchen inventions for Artichoke-Powered Appetizer, Five-Egg Omelet, and Peltzer’s Perfect Mocha.

Gremlins: The Official Cookbook features suggestions for alternate ingredients and tips and tricks if your appliances suddenly go on the fritz—remember, before you call the repairman, turn on all the lights, check all the cupboards, and look under all the pots and pans, because there just might be a gremlin in your kitchen!

Zoe's Ghana Kitchen: An Introduction to New African Cuisine – From Ghana With Love

Celebrated cook and writer Zoe Adjonyoh passionately believes we are on the cusp of an African food revolution. First published to widespread acclaim in the United Kingdom, Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen began as a pop-up restaurant in London featuring dishes such as Pan-Roasted Cod with Grains of Paradise, Nkruma (Okra) Tempura, Cubeb-Spiced Shortbread, and Coconut and Cassava Cake. Soon those dishes evolved into this tempting and celebratory cookbook, newly revised and updated for American cooks.

Join Zoe as she shares the beauty of Ghana’s markets, culture, and cuisine, and tells the evocative story of using these tastes and food traditions to navigate her own identity. Whether you are familiar with the delights of Ghanaian cuisine or new to the bold flavours of West Africa, this book contains inspiration for extraordinary home cooking, in dishes such as:

  • Simple Fried Plantains
  • Red Red Stew
  • Red Snapper and Yam Croquettes
  • Bofrot Doughnuts
  • Nkatsenkwan (Peanut Butter Stew with Lamb)
  • Jollof Fried Chicken
