    About this ebook

    Bring your love of true crime into the kitchen with meals ranging from the bizarre (a single unpitted black olive) to the gluttonous (a dozen deep-fried shrimp, a bucket of fried chicken, French fries, and a pound of strawberries), inspired by Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and other notorious death row inmates.

    The perfect gift for murderinos and true crime fans, The Serial Killer Cookbook: Last Meals pairs serial killer trivia with the recipes of the meals these killers ate during their final hours. With full-color photos, chilling true crime facts, and easy-to-follow steps, you’ll be cooking up killer meals in no time. This collection of recipes is both delicious and surprising, and spans breakfast staples to indulgent desserts, including:
    • Seared Steak, Hash Browns, Toast, and Fried Eggs (given to but not eaten by Ted Bundy, serial killer)
    • Chicken Parmesan and Alfredo Pasta (eaten by Ruth Snyder, murderer)
    • Justice, Equality, and World Peace (eaten by Odell Barnes, murderer)
    • Mac and Cheese (eaten by Gustavo Julian Garcia, murderer)
    • And much more!

      It's definitely not what I expected I thought the entire meal would be included as well as the story behind it not a super basic summary and an equally super basic recipe. Granted they weren't extremely fancy meals but I thought it would be the complete meals with a sophisticated twist/ingredient list.

      For example the first one is grilled cheese 2 slices of bread... butter and American cheese... nothing special. (Stephen Wayne Anderson had as a last meal "2 grilled cheese sandwiches, one pint of cottage cheese, a hominy-corn mixture, radishes, one piece of peach pie, and one pint of chocolate chip ice cream" Per the author. Out of the list she did the average grilled cheese recipe... But the other items aren't included in the book to complete the meal?

      Another example... Odell Barnes didn't have a last meal request, his last meal request was “Justice, equality, world peace." So the author says so and randomly picks homemade dinner rolls and butter... Why not pick a killer that actually did have a last meal instead? What was the point? This felt like it was grasping at straws to fit where it didn't belong on a minimal effort level.

      A masterpiece of incompetence and tomfoolery.

      From the title onwards, everything in this book presents an issue. For example, using synonyms back to back is just unnecessary verbosity in order to convolute the title in hopes it’ll create the illusion that the book is worth something . . . anything! a gum! a rubber band... And not everyone featured in the book is a serial killer . . . or a killer, for that matter — some are innocent, or at least not guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

      But the most disgusting part is that Joe Arridy is featured among murderers, in a book that makes a point out of mentioning bad deeds committed by these creeps. If you do not know, Arridy was a mentally disabled man who was coerced by the police into giving a false confession. Even if the author is fine with such a lowly thing to do, did anyone at the publisher read this??

      I’d guess not, because the book is filled with spelling mistakes and straight out errors, some as embarrassing as misspelling “were” as “where” — and the author is a teacher! Well, America, here’s your education system . . . at the hands of people who cannot spell their maternal language.

      Oh also did I mention the author still says “African-American” instead of “black”?

      My fury makes me digress. Back to this useless book, the recipes are basic to the point they include how to make an omelette, how to fry potatoes in oil, how to bake potatoes in an oven, how to cook pork in a pan, how to bake bacon on its own in the oven (this somehow takes 5 steps), and how to chop greens and onions to unite them in a salad bowl... Things you can find better versions of for free on Google, but probably wouldn’t have to because who doesn’t know how to mash a potato? For a book with few recipes, ice creams are given the spot far too many times — and one is literally melted ice cream! The pie recipes call for store bought crusts, the pudding recipes for pre-packaged mixes, and the coleslaw recipe for a packaged coleslaw mix. This is not even a joke.

      The author also picks and chooses among the meals. In a meal including clams, she thinks readers would instead want to know how the garlic bread is prepared (with store bought bread and “Italian seasoning” because we’re too lazy to even list herbs and spices) and mind you, we never get a clam recipe. We don’t get a lobster tail recipe either, despite it being featured in quite a few last meals, because these actually require skill as opposed to pouring milk over pudding mix. The author’s running away from these recipes is clear enough evidence that she’s not competent enough to write a cookbook, but here we are.

      Oh also (because why shouldn’t I keep saying ‘also’ when it’s clearly the author’s favourite word ever, enough to use it over and over and over and over) some of the featured inmates did not request a last meal, so the author made up something else instead. Because that’s fitting.

      To top it all off... this isn’t even an original idea. There’s a 2001 book titled ‘Last Suppers’. Nothing about this book makes sense, really.
