Book Synopsis



The debut cookbook from benny blanco--pop music super-producer, artist, actor on FXX's Dave, and consummate food freak--teaches you everything you need to know about cooking, enjoying life, and throwing the greatest dinner party of all time.

Hi, I'm benny blanco. I'm in a television show with my best friend Dave and I probably produced most of the songs you have heard on the radio from 2008 until now. When I was thirteen, I got a George Foreman Grill and it changed my life forever. I would invite friends over and we would get stoned and gather around the grill and make the most elaborate sandwiches our prepubescent minds could fathom. I became obsessed with food and cooking for friends.

I know what you are going to say, and I get it. Cooking is scary. But I promise you, once you get into it, it will be your new addiction. Slicing an onion is like taking a Xanax to me. I made this cookbook to teach you everything I know about food, cooking, and throwing the greatest dinner party of all time. There are the basics to get your kitchen ready, a little advice from my expert friends, then all of the dinner party menus I love to make, like:

    5 Dishes to Get You Laid and One for the Morning AfterI Wish I Were an Italian GrandmaTake Me to the Cheesy RodeoF*ck Morton's Steakhouse

Which are filled with insane recipes like:

    Lose Your Mind Lobster Rolls"I Might Go Vegetarian" Veggie SandwichChicken Cutlets with Honey, Peppers, and Parm"I Hope We Didn't Make a Baby" Breakfast Burrito.

I've been told some of the finest stories over meals. I've laughed so hard I thought I was going to actually die. I've fallen in love--sometimes with the food, sometimes with the person across the table. I've cried in good ways, and I've cried in bad ways. I hope you've been lucky enough to have all these same memories and then some. But if you haven't, I can make you a promise. If you follow these three simple steps, it will all become a reality: Open this book. Open your heart. And open wide, baby.

This is the worst cookbook I've ever purchased. I like the co-author Jess Damuck and no idea who Benny Blanco is. The recipes are generic and he's a music name dropper. Once I read the recipe for Ed Sheeran's deep fried Rolex....I'm out. Returning this book for something better.

Pleasantly suprised by this cookbook. Recipes are super accessible with common ingredients many alreay have in their kitchen. There's some personal stories intertwined throughout the book, but they don't detract from the recipes whatsoever; The layout is really coherent and pages are wide enought to lay open flat for referencing. Well done!

First cookbook I’ve ever ordered. I can’t wait to try Sza’s banana pudding and the “I might go vegetarian” veggie sandwich. There’s even a QR code for a playlist of songs you can play at your dinner parties. I have no friends for dinner parties besides my husband and kids so I’ll be playing said songs while I cook! There’s also a list of spices and condiments that Benny likes to use and a whole section of Thanksgiving recipes!! Awesome book!
