We threw a Spam themed birthday party for a friend - everyone had to bring a food item made from Spam. Just when I was freaking out about not knowing what to bring, I discovered this book. (Which proves that there is a book on everything!)

Since I'm not a cook nor too creative in the kitchen, I was pretty nervous about making food and expecting friends to eat it. But then I realized, hey it's Spam, no one expects it to be good! The recipe I picked was the Spam Risotto. It was super easy to make and - gasp! - it tasted really good!

I loaned this book to another party go-er and she whipped up the Spam loaf (with salmon) and it was surprisingly tasty as well.

Previous to purchasing this book, the only way I'd ever had Spam was fried up and in a sandwich, but now the door is open to many possibilities.

This little book has all the kitch to make it cool and some damn good recipes inside!

This is a bold and imaginative cookery book. Eggers shows flair with a daring East/West fusion in her Thai influenced Spam with Mint and Brocoli: tender chunks of luncheon loaf stir-fried with fish sauce, chili, brown sugar and brocoli then topped with fresh mint. Look out too for her Spam en Croute - slab of reconstituted pork coated in a rich mushroom pate and wrapped in filo pastry. It's a triumph. That distinctive taste of the abbatoir floor you get with Spam comes through best, perhaps, in a simple yet delicious Spam Tartare - raw Spam, ground with anchovies, egg yolk, mustard, oil and Worcestershire Sauce. Mmmmmm. Heaven.
