* INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The debut cookbook from benny blanco—pop music
super-producer artist actor on FXX’s Dave and consummate food freak—teaches you everything
you need to know about cooking enjoying life and throwing the greatest dinner party of all
time. Hi I’m benny blanco. I’m in a television show with my best friend Dave and I probably
produced most of the songs you have heard on the radio from 2008 until now. When I was thirteen
my friend got a George Foreman Grill and it changed my life forever. We would invite friends
over get stoned and make the most elaborate sandwiches our prepubescent minds could fathom. I
became obsessed with food and cooking for friends. I know what you are going to say and I get
it. Cooking is scary. But I promise you once you get into it it will be your new addiction.
Slicing an onion is like taking a Xanax to me. I made this cookbook to teach you everything I
know about food cooking and throwing the greatest dinner party of all time. There are the
basics to get your kitchen ready a little advice from my expert friends then all of the
dinner party menus I love to make like: 5 Dishes to Get You Laid and One for the Morning
After I Wish I Were an Italian Grandma Take Me to the Cheesy Rodeo F*ck Morton’s Steakhouse
Which are filled with insane recipes like: Lose Your Mind Lobster Rolls “I Might Go
Vegetarian” Veggie Sandwich Chicken Cutlets with Honey Peppers and Parm “I Hope We Didn’t
Make a Baby” Breakfast Burrito. I’ve been told some of the finest stories over meals. I’ve
laughed so hard I thought I was going to actually die. I’ve fallen in love—sometimes with the
food sometimes with the person across the table. I’ve cried in good ways and I’ve cried in
bad ways. I hope you’ve been lucky enough to have all these same memories and then some. But if
you haven’t I can make you a promise. If you follow these three simple steps it will all
become a reality: Open this book. Open your heart. And open wide baby.
