Science Fiction and Cooking;
Karl Lembke Presents a Collection of Recipes from Guests and Members of the World Science Fiction Convention this August in Anaheim

"The Official Manual for Spice Cadets" is the "officially unofficial" cookbook for the 64th World Science Fiction convention. This book features out-of-this-world recipes from science fiction fans who will be attending this convention in August, 2006. This book captures the fun and wackiness of science fiction fandom and is a useful cookbook with recipes you'd be proud to cook for your friends.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 28, 2006 -- Karl Lembke has collected strange, wondrous, and tasty recipes from guests and members of the L.A. Con IV, the 64th World Science Fiction convention ( www.laconiv.org ). In keeping with the convention's "Space Cadets" theme, Karl has published "The Official Manual for Spice Cadets."

"The Official Manual for Spice Cadets" contains 104 pages of recipes and cooking tips from dozens of contributors. It has an extensive table of contents and an index of contributors.

"I've used this book already, realizing yesterday that Spanish Potato Omelet was just the thing ... Here are recipes for one or 100, some easy to make with what's on hand and some calling for arcane skills or ingredients (where do you go for liquid nitrogen?), some centuries old and some thrown together on the spur of the moment. They are by people of every fannish and convention going stripe -- club fans and fanzine fans, SFWA members and SCA dukes -- but all clearly devoted, not to mere body-fueling, but to the lore and the high pleasures of Food." --- Karen Anderson, wife of author Poul Anderson.

"The Official Manual for Spice Cadets" is available for purchase at Lulu ( www.lulu.com ), the world's fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books.
