The debut cookbook from benny blancopop music super-producer, artist, actor on FXXs Dave, and consummate food freakteaches you everything you need to know about cooking, enjoying life, and throwing the greatest dinner party of all time.
Hi, Im benny blanco. Im 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, my friend got a George Foreman Grill and it changed my life forever. We would invite friends over, get stoned, 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 After
- I Wish I Were an Italian Grandma
- Take Me to the Cheesy Rodeo
- F*ck Mortons Steakhouse
Which are filled with insane recipes like:
- Lose Your Mind Lobster Rolls
- I Might Go Vegetarian Veggie Sandwich
- Chicken Cutlets with Honey, Peppers, and Parm
- I Hope We Didnt Make a Baby Breakfast Burrito.
Ive been told some of the finest stories over meals. Ive laughed so hard I thought I was going to actually die. Ive fallen in lovesometimes with the food, sometimes with the person across the table. Ive cried in good ways, and Ive cried in bad ways. I hope youve been lucky enough to have all these same memories and then some. But if you havent, 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.
