The hungover cookbook

Meer over het boek

The morning after a night of revelry often brings the dreaded hangover, accompanied by a drilling headache, waves of nausea, paranoia, guilt, and shame. While many are familiar with the general misery, the nuances of hangovers are less understood. According to P.G. Wodehouse, there are six distinct types of hangovers: The Broken Compass, The Sewing Machine, The Comet, The Atomic, The Cement Mixer, and The Gremlin Boogie, each with unique characteristics and requiring tailored treatments. This self-help manual assists drinkers in identifying their hangover type and provides recipes and remedies suited to their specific state of mind and body. With over 100 recipes, it includes dishes such as Huevos Rancheros, devilled kidneys, kedgeree, hot Bloody Marys, special mustard & cheese mash with sausages, blue cheese on toast with pears and pickle, lemon and demerara sugar pancakes, Knickerbocker glory with refresher sweets, and, of course, the perfect bacon sarnie. While it doesn’t promise a cure, this beautifully produced book offers fun and good food on the road to recovery. For those feeling ginger, it transforms hangover management into a subtle art, moving beyond simply throwing a 'full English' at the problem.
