Book Reviews of The Twinkies Cookbook: An Inventive and Unexpected Recipe Collection from Hostess
Book Review: Weird - but surprisingly yum :-)
Summary: 4 Stars
I love Twinkies. So when I saw this interesting sounding book, I scooped it up and checked it out. Because I can't get Twinkies here in Australia, they are one of the first purchases I make when I'm back in the States. On the cover it does mention that it is 'inventive' and 'unexpected'. They are right. It certainly is very inventive. A lady from Baton Rouge has sent in a recipe for Twinkie Sushi. Now although there is no seaweed involved (you use green fruit leather instead), the concept is still quite bizzare and I'm deciding whether I give that one a go or not.
Possibly one of the 'grossest' sounding recipe is Pigs in a Twinkie - and this time there is no substitute for the sausage. You DO use sausage along with the twinkies. I'm sorry but that is one I know I won't try.
Despite those weird recipes, some in the book sound and look absolutely delicious and I can't wait to give them a go. The Twinkie Burrito looks fabulous (a real burrito wrap, but with chocolate and strawberries and twinkies - how can you go wrong). There is even a wedding cake recipe.
Overall, this is a fun recipe book. It is interesting, fattening, yet certainly fun and while you won't probably make everything contained in this book, you will definately be intrigued to try quite a few. Just try not to eat the twinkies before they go in the ingrediant mixture. Yum.
