Product Description
From Amazon
Every child loves Roald Dahl, whether sampling his Revolting Rhymes or getting stuck in to The BFG, The Witches, The BFG, The Twits or any one of his fantastically fiendish storybooks. So, what better way to keep your young Dahl fan amused than by letting them loose in the kitchen with a copy of Even More Revolting Recipes.
Perfect fodder for would-be chefs, this hilarious book turns favourite foods from a host of his bestselling books turns into real recipes: perfect for keeping children (and maybe even a few of the adults) out of trouble for a while.
From Plushnuggets and Nishnobblers to Bean's Cider Devil's Drenches and beyond, these recipes will prove irresistible for children, are perfect for parties and, despite the nasty names, are temptingly delicious. (Ages 6 and over.) --Susan Harrison --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Publishers Weekly
Sure to stir the stomach, Roald Dahl's Even More Revolting Recipes, with excerpts from Roald Dahl's oeuvre, an introduction by Felicity Dahl and recipes by Lori-Ann Newman, features foods from the author's best-loved books. Derived from James and the Giant Peach, "Pickled Spines of Porcupine" is made of meringue; "Toad-in-the-Hole" a meat stuffed potato comes from Danny the Champion of the World. Quentin Blake's humorous illustrations transform full-color photographs by Jan Baldwin.

Great fun in a cookbook,
By "krbritton" (Irving, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roald Dahls Even More Revolting Recipes (Hardcover)
These recipes are presented in classic Roald Dahl style. Each recipe takes its name from Dahl's books such as Wonka's Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight and Spitsizzlers. Quentin Blake, who illustrated many of Dahl's books also lends a hand to this collection so the reader truly relates to the material as if these were the recipes that Dahl spoke of in his books. Also, each recipe starts out with a quote from the book that served as that recipe's namesake. The author is careful to note that several of these recipes require an adult's supervision as they are listed as part of the ingredients in those recipes that use heat. This will be a clever addition to the cookbook collection that may even inspire the reader to look into Dahl's books serving as the inspiration for these recipes.

a fun read, but not great recipes,
By third time mom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Roald Dahls Even More Revolting Recipes (Hardcover)
I own this book along with the orignial Revolting Recipes. While the premise of the book is lots of fun and may encourage kids to get into the kitchen, the recipes themselves are quite disapointing. None that I've made have turned out well. Magic Green Crystal: into the garbage. The Whipple-Scrumptios Fudgemallow Delight was a pain to make and it tasted awful. Many of the recipes have missing or vauge directions, such as Pishlets' "Spoon into the baking pan and spread evenly", but they don't say what size baking pan nor how thin to spread the mixture. Do I use an 8x8 pan? A 10x17 pan? There's also a lot of recipes that I'm just unwilling to try because I'm suspicious of the ingredient combinations, such as Plushnuggets (puff pastry with bananas, maple syrup and OLIVE OIL). Other recipes just seem impractical for their ingredients (amber sugar crystals??) or portions (Bean's Cider: 4 apples, pureed and strained to make 1 mug cider). It's fun to read through though, which is why it does get 3 stars, and may very well entice a reader to go pick up one of Dahl's other books from which the recipes are based.
