Hogan, Lou Rand. The Gay Cookbook. Los Angeles: Sherbourne Press, 1965.
Here’s an interesting cookbook loaned to me by my friend, Paul. This is a crazy book, combining the kitsch of 60’s cooking in all its urbanity and every gay stereotype known to humankind. I haven’t been able to find much about it yet, but it seems to have been done as high camp. Case in point is “swish steak.” The cover alone is worth the price of admission.
this is a nice find. i just inherited my uncle’s copy, first edition, and people are paying up to 200 bucks for a copy. it’s a fun read…never seen so much emphasis on MSG! 🙂
thanks,

Thanks! I love this book. It’s sort of on “permanent loan” to me 🙂
