This gangster-inspired cookbook is the second recipe guide created by the Thug Kitchen. Following the success of its previous New York Times Best Seller, this latest cookbook is titled the Thug Kitchen Party Grub.
The idea for this cookbook is to outline and detail delicious dishes that can be shared and enjoyed with large groups of people. The book includes sections such as 'Wake and Bake Some Sh*t,' which includes breakfast and brunch ideas. There is also a section titled 'Spin the Bottle,' which includes drinks and dessert options. Of course, the book covers everything in between breakfast and dessert as well. The creative part of this book is that is uses vulgar words and appeals to a younger audience to inspire and encourage cooking among Millennial consumers.
This cookbook is packed with "100 never-before-seen recipes for any occasion" and is set to hit store shelves in October.
