Jules & Julia – top 10 Verne/Child sci-fi cookbooks


If only Jules Verne, the French author of pioneering science fiction novels, had blogged about trying to cook Julia Child’s recipes rather than that boring Julie woman. We might have ended up with some interesting hybrid cookbooks.

1 A Journey to the Center of the Éclair
2 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sauté
3 Around the Crêpe in Eighty Days
4 The Mysterious Quiche
5 Michael Beef Strogoff
6 In Search of the Chocolate Mousse
7 Carpathian Cassoulet
8 The Castaways of the Gougère
9 The Archipelago on Tarte Flambée
10 Five Weeks in a Bouillabaisse

Anyone got any other science fiction cookbooks? The Marzipan Chronicles, Brave New Chocolate Whirl, A Chocolate Orange, Do Androids Dream of Electric Cookers, War of the Woks, Neurofoodprocessor….

Anyone?
