Publishers Description
Giving new meaning to the term "fast food" Rest-stop grade F meat patty? Nah. Nuggets of reconstituted poultry bits? Pass. Deep-fried fish discus? No, really, thanks all the same. It's time to bid farewell to the roadside meal as you know it. Nearly twenty years ago, Chris Maynard and Bill Scheller opened the world's eyes to the beautym of car-engine gastronomy in the original Manifold Destiny. And now that another generation of both drivers and eaters has emerged, the cult classic is due for an overhaul. In this shiny, spanking-new edition, learn how to make s'mores in your Scion, poach fish in your Pontiac, even bust out a gourmet snack from under the hood of your Escalade. With step-by-step diagrams, crowd-pleasing recipes, and thorough instructions, now you can turn your car into a kitchen without ever crossing any golden arches. Hilarious, bizarre, and ultimately (seriously!) useful, Manifold Destiny is and always will be an unparalleled original. So, slap a ham steak under the hood of your car, hit the gas, and drive until you reach delicious -- which is in approximately fifty miles, depending on traffic.
Gift of Grace Books was established to glorify God in thanksgiving for his abundant grace.
2 Corinthians 4:15 "All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God." |

 | Great Fun Jun 25, 2009 |
This book is written with humor along with ACTUAL recipes ie;
IMPRESSA VEAL IMPREZZA = cooking time is listed as 30 to 50 miles.
The recipe for a meal cooked on a foreign car's engine has a comical cooking time. =
Nifty Naffta Nachos "Distance about 60 miles or forever, Depending on the presence of the Federales".
It's well worth the price, if for nothing else than a conversation piece. I purchased three extras as gifts and all recipients loved them. We read them together over the phone with each person having their favorite parts. Three of us are planning to try the recipes!

| I love this book. I added a silicone mitt, some aluminum foil, a canteen and an all-in-one camping utinsil kit to complete the gift. It got lots of laughs and all involved swear that they plan to try out some of the recipes this summer. | | | | Great book, a must-buy! Feb 12, 2009 |
| Read Manifold Destiny review years before it originally went out of print, and very happy to be able to get it again! A great gift for any car buff or gear head that you know. | | | | great cooking at 65mph Jan 18, 2009 |
| this is just the cookbook for the lug nut in your life. fun to read and only a small fire hazard, who could ask for more. | | | | Totally entertaining read Dec 11, 2008 |
The thought that someone would come up with the idea of cooking on a car engine is pretty strange. To think that a book could be written on this topic is stranger. To write such a book that's this intelligent and this much fun is bizarre. I laughed out loud repeatedly at the preambles to each of these recipes, and salivated at the recipes themselves.
Maynard and Scheller explain how to cook everything from stuffed cabbage to venison cutlets via the magic of aluminum foil and internal combustion with great recipes, surprisingly interesting tidbits of automotive history, and a travelogue spanning the gustatory landscape from Patterson, New Jersey through the Donner pass.
A few pages in, and you'll be seriously planning to foil some corned beef and take the DeSoto out for a spin.
Have some fun--read this book. | | | Write your own review about Manifold Destiny: The One! The Only! Guide to Cooking on Your Car Engine!
