“There are a few guys who have rightly earned themselves the title of ‘culinary bad boy’ in the past few years…Anthony Bourdain…Marco Pierre White…David Chang… But these guys are nothing compared to the heavy metal home cooks who contributed the recipes for Annick Giroux’s new cookbook Hellbent For Cooking.”—Serious Eats.com
“Part global cookbook, part underground metal compendium”—New York Post
“What these bands have in common is metal—an art form, an attitude, a lifestyle. It’s not just a gimmick in the cookbook context; it comes screaming through the recipes.”—LA Weekly
“Sweet book indeed! I unveiled the secret of the best pizza in the world. Customers of my restaurant would have killed to get the recipe!”—Schmier, Destruction
“Positively no false meals…every single metalhead who gets around in the kitchen needs this book.”—Decibel
“From heavy metal royalty…the evilest of cookbooks.”—Flavorpill, The 10 Best Musical Cookbooks
“The book addresses an interesting reality: Music and food are inextricable.”—Hour Detroit
“This is probably the most physically beautiful book I’ve ever seen.” —Cosmo Lee, Invisible Oranges.com
“While I’m no cook myself, this will certainly be on my ‘to buy’ list as I am especially curious on how to concoct the Midnight 7″ Meatloaf!”—The Left Hand Path.com
“Fantastic beyond belief”—And Now the Screaming Starts

With this delicious collection of favorite basic recipes by heavy metal bands from around the globe, Annick “The Morbid Chef” Giroux declares war on junk food, and fires up the flame for a special heavy metal feast.
Hellbent for Cooking feeds voracious appetites with a varied menu of over a hundred recipes from thirty countries, including Yorkshire Pudding from England, Beer Pizza Crust from Germany, Spaghetti Barracuda from Italy, Fårikål from Norway, Country Lamb Exohiko from Greece, Churrasco from Brazil, and Mushroom Steak à la Jack Daniel’s from the United States.
The dishes are legendary, and so are the bands. Feel the heat of thrash metal pioneers Sepultura, Kreator, Anthrax, and Nuclear Assault; the proto-metal heavy rock of Thin Lizzy, early Judas Priest, and Uriah Heep; the slow-cooked doom of Pentagram and Saint Vitus; and the extreme cuisine of underground pioneers Autopsy, Death, Repulsion; and Norway’s infamous black metal chefs Mayhem and Gorgoroth.
Raise your infernal fork for madman Chris Reifert’s Mummified Jalapeño Bacon Bombs, then sample Roast Beef with Green Beans prepared under the watchful eye of Udo Dirkschneider of Accept. Try After the Bombs’ Speed Metal Vegan Tofu, or Eyehategod’s favorite New Orleans Blood Red Beans and Rice.
Afterwards, Doro Pesch of Warlock serves her Black Forest Cake, and Richard Christy from Death pours his trademark cocktail, the mighty Viking Testicle. Now for anyone with a taste for metal: The kitchen gates are open—grab your weapons of mass nutrition and let the feasts begin!

hi is this book sold in australia and if it is where can i get a copy thanx
Ahoy, and thanks for writing from Australia. Yes, you can order our books through various sites in Oz. Fishpond.com.au offers free shipping on Hellbent for Cooking, check them out. Also Polyester in Victoria carries Bazillion Points books. (And we’d love to hear from any indie/metal distributors looking to carry the book).
I got the book for Christmas and I love it. Made the Mumified Jalapeno Bacon Bombs for tonight’s NYE party.
BUT: “Cake Mix” or “Brownie Mix” are not acceptable on a list of ingredients!! O_O
Great book anyways.
Thanks, Insa! The recipes came directly from the bands, and the Morbid Chef tested and streamlined each one. While the book sometimes suggests variations or alternate ingredients, the rare handful of recipes that rely on mix ingredients are that way on purpose! And you have to admit —the brownie mix in Wino’s Soul Brownies recipes is hardly the “active ingredient”!
Love it! Not sure I’ll be doing the bull’s testicles though.
I thought I was the only one who cooked listening to heavy metal. I’m glad I found this book. I’m drinking The Piledriver while I listen to some Autopsy.
Just cook the New Orleans blood red beans and rice and it was to die for!
Can’t wait to have the book myself (borrow it from à friend)
Thanks!
Bonjour Annick,
Your book looks very good and congrats on the
heavy metal cooking idea.
It’s fun
Dom
