Negative Space: cookbook
- All Mimsy cookbook reviews
- I have now added all of the old cookbook reviews from the earlier Mimsy to the new Mimsy, though I’ve yet to add all the really old reviews. These are all of the books I’ve reviewed, in alphabetical order.
- Jerry’s Diner Revue
- These reviews of cookbooks and a few restaurants are slowly moving to the Jerry’s Diner section of Mimsy Were the Borogoves.
- The New Larousse Gastronomique
- Prosper Montagné’s cookbook is the foundation of many a kitchen; but there are a few recipes that you aren’t going to be able to master without risking prison time. It’s fascinating that at one point ingredients such as cocaine were unremarkable fare for dessert.

This big old tome is a fascinating browser. It covers the gamut of European foodstuffs; this out-of-print version includes some things you’ll be unlikely to make today, such as Zabaglione à la kola. This dessert includes coca extract.
