A gasztronauta az ételek őrült, csavaros, fenekestül felforgatott világába vezet minket. Szokatlan, extravagáns és bizarr kulináris élményekkel, meghökkentő tényekkel és látványos étkek receptjeivel van tele. Ébren töltött időnk 16%-át mindannyian főzéssel és evéssel töltjük. Túl sok óra és perc ez ahhoz, hogy csupán kellemetlen kötelességnek tekintsük - miért ne változtathatnánk a főzést kalanddá? Pont ebben lesz segítségünkre e különös és csodálatos gasztronómiai izgalmakkal teli könyvecske. Ha kíváncsi rá, miként rendezzen bacchusi orgiát otthona kényelmében, hogyan készítsen popószendvicset, miként süssön disznót a föld alatt, vagy füstöljön lazacot egy fémdobozban, hogyan főzzön arannyal, after shave-vel vagy anyatejjel, miként készítse el a fatetűt, a rénszarvast, a tengerimalacot, vagy éppen az érdekli, igaz-e, hogy a nagymamát nem lehet megtanítani tojást fújni... a válaszokat mind itt olvashatja.
