Synopsis

Known for his quirky attitude and quirkier entrees, Bob Blumer has been shaking up the food world for almost two decades. In his new book, Bob delivers the ultimate collection of his favourite kitchen creations (including many never seen in print) along with practical kitchen references for chefs of every skill level.

Not sure what wine to pair with your meal? Uncertain of the best way to stock your shelves? Wavering on the perfect music to flambe by? (Think "Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads!) Glutton for Pleasure provides creative solutions to help readers elevate their quality of life through food, spirits, and music. Paired with stories from Bob's 20 years as the adventure-hunting, Guinness-world-record-breaking, punishment-seeking Surreal Gourmet, this book is not to be missed!

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Signature Recipes  Surreal presentations, unconventional cooking methods, and bold flavor combinations—Bob’s trademark recipes are all here in this best-of collection (including many that have never appeared in print before). Most are simple enough to be incorporated into any cooking repertoire yet are so addictive that you’ll want to make them over and over again.
Surreal Etiquette  Dysfunctional kitchens, mismatched cutlery, and culinary faux pas are no match for Bob’s confidence-inspiring tips. Learn how to set up a highly functioning workspace and host unforgettable dinner parties, all the while flying in the face of convention.
Epic Stories  Jaw-dropping narratives of taking North America by storm in a Toastermobile, harvesting grapes at a legendary Burgundian winery, and inadvertently lighting a guest on fire during an Australian TV appearance all chronicle this adrenaline junkie’s voracious appetite for adventure.

“If Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, and Salvador Dalí had a ménage à trois, this would be their love child.” —Steve Perrine, Men’s Health
