mad dogs favorite prison recipes Paperback – July 17, 2011

I got this cookbook for a loved one in prison. It's an amazing tool that shows some pretty crafty ways of the limited resources in prison. Examples include ways to create homemade strainers & measuring cups out of plastic containers, mixing bowls out of chip bags & how to make your own flour for baking in the microwave! Lots of dinner variety from Thai food, Mexican, Italian, soul food, BBQ, seafood, pizza, soups & stews, breakfast, beverages, ice cream, cakes, cookies & desserts! One downside was the institution I sent it to rejected the cookbook as it shows how to make "homebrew" wine which is not allowed. But was able to photo copy everything else. The person I send them too loves it & also shows others in their dorm all the new ways of cooking. I am very satisfied with it & encourage all that want to give that loved one behind bars a chance to cook some amazing food instead of the chow hall cafeteria.

I bought this book for my dad's birthday and he absolutely loved it! He loves to cook and given his "very limited" resources I thought this would be perfect. After he received the book, we always talk about his latest dish and how his friends wonder how he comes up with thee recipes. I'm so glad I bought it. It's a fun and thoughtful gift.

Was checking on line for a cook book with simple ideas of something a little different to keep in our RV. So, Prison Recipes? HMmmm... This is a jackpot of ideas made up of the simplest of everyday ingrediants found anywhere, even in the prison commissary. (It is a prison cook book) From Mexican dinners to snacks to desserts. Plastic bags replace mixing bowls. Cooking dough made from crushed corn chips! Ice cream! Brownies from crushed vanilla wafers and chocolate drink mix! The art work and illustrations really pull this whole book together. This is a cook book, not a coffee table book. (Although it would generate a lot of interest sitting on your coffe table instead of the kitchen counter.) Check it out!

This was Sent to a man in prison He was not allowed to have it because of a recipe for alcohol. The book is being returned by the prison.

If you collect unusual books get this one. Each separate component; art, recipes, and writing is a stand-alone book. This will be a collector's item.Recipes are unique and the author is very witty with the descriptions. Some of the recipes sound quite good.

Mad Dog's Prison Cookbook is one of the more unusual things I've come across in some time. It's full of strange and funny vintage looking art with a prison twist. The imagery conjures fifties era nostalgia. The recipes are also very novel and the descriptions are incredibly witty.

I bought this for my boyfriend who is incarcerated in a state prison for the first time, and he loves it! He received the book with no problem, and it's really been useful to him. I would highly recommend it for that purpose.

Bought it for a Inmate at a Corecttional Institution . And this Book was Not accepted by the Classification Administration.Thanks ?
