Spider-Man: The Official CookbookIs Full of Spidey’s Favorite Foods
The authors put a lot of thought into what recipes and Marvel characters to include. As author Jermaine McLaughlin says,“Spidey IS New York. A legion of spectacular writers and artists over the years have painted one heck of a picture of the sights that make up Peter’s New York. It’s my hope this cookbook can add something to that legacy.“Spider-Verse friends are also included here: Luke Cage has a recipe for a Yule Log, which is perfect forthe person who loves saying, “Sweet Christmas!”There’s also a Chai Tea Latte from Wong, good for any Sorcerer Supreme to relax with.
Main characters' families are represented as well. Arañitas are a Puerto Rican fried plantain snack, something Miles Morales would definitely have grown up with, but also great for this book because arañita means “little spider.” Ghost Spider’s eggplant Parmesan reflects her affection for her dad and his home cooking, even if it’s a bad idea to mix red sauce with a white superhero costume. Peter Parker has his comfort food, too: a pastrami sandwich, and Aunt May’s wheatcakes. With appetizers, entrées, and desserts, the book hasrecipes for all skill levelsin the kitchen, from beginner to expert.
Recipes From Every Part of Spider-Man’s New York City
Spider-Man’s New York Cityis really the guiding theme behind the book. Writer Von Diaz adds, “I can’t imagine anyone better suited to explore the city’s culinary delights than Spider-Man! He can see and smell all the city has to offer, and the different flavors and cultures that make NYC so special and unique.“The chapters are organized by borough, broken up into Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island.New York favorites like black and white cookiesand grandma pizza slices are also included, meaning even if fans can’t make it toSpider-Man’sBig Apple, they can bring it home.
