Description

The 100-plus recipes (created by the Hormel test kitchens and passionate celebrity chefs) in The Ultimate Spam Cookbook range from kitschy to global traditions and twists on both classics and trends. -- "Rachael Ray In Season" ...a reflection of the international attention and momentum that the product has gained. -- "Milwaukee Sentinel Journal" As a kid growing up in a Filipino family, the SPAM(R) Brand was a staple of our kitchen, and I've spent my life raving about its charms to the uninitiated -- those unfortunate souls. All-American as it may be, the SPAM(R) Brand is an international phenomenon, and The Ultimate SPAM Cookbook does a phenomenal job capturing its remarkable global popularity. -- "Drew Lazor, Philadelphia Daily News, Food/Drink Columnist" Whet your appetite with some fun facts: It's been around since 1937; it's sold in 44 countries; it's mostly pork, salt, and potato starch. Then get to the meat of the matter--the 100-plus recipes. It's a natural with eggs, including the Spam Benedict, in which seared slices stand in for Canadian bacon. For a fun party good, try the Spam Corn Dogs, sticks of Spam coated in a cornmeal batter. Or become an expert in Spam Musubu, a Hawaiin specialty made of a block of rice, a slice of Spam, and some nori. There are 11 different versions in the book, including one that's breaded in panko and fried, katsu-style. Before you get cooking, check out the book's foreword, written by our own executive managing editor, Tara Cov, who's a mid-century food maven and Spam superfan. -- "Rachael Ray in Season Magazine" Book Description The Ultimate SPAM® Cookbookxa0is here, featuring over 100 elevated recipes for breakfast, appetizers, main courses, and snacks, all starring this key ingredient.

" The Ultimate SPAM (R) Cookbook shows cooks there's more to SPAM (R) Classic than a frying pan with recipes that will make you realize how SPAM (R) products have become part of America's culinary quilt." —Anne Braly, Food Columnist, Chattanooga Times Free Press "SPAM (R) Classic is the first edible American Icon and the only edible icon that is also one of the most used words in the world.

You know you like it, go to the dark side. But not too often.

I know it's not good for you, but you know you want it, anyway. Have only tried the Spam and gnocchi soup, but, it was DELICIOUS! Am going to try the Spam spring rolls, next. One recipe per month. What an inexpensive way to indulge yourself. With the economy, as it is, I may have to do this more often.🙄

Many recipes

Enjoyed reading this recipe book. Many of the recipes are Asian food inspired. Pictures look good.
Great gift for anyone liking SPAM; not a gag gift per se, but real recipe book. I read the reviews before purchasing, and it sounded like there weren't many recipes in the book, but I think there are.
Like most recipes, you'll need to hit the grocery store for the ingredients.

Lots of recipes

It starts with a history of Spam. There could have been more written there. It's just an outline. The book is mainly recipes which are good and interesting with color photos for them. I am making some of the recipes and did enjoy the book. A fun read.

Fun new recipes to use a familiar product, SPAM® Brand.

Inside the SPAM® Brand Cookbook you'll find over 100 recipes from traditional to gourmet. You'll love my Spam recipe for pesto-Stuffed peppers. It's fast and easy. Rediscover the versatility of Spam brand in recipes like breakfast burritos or mac and cheese.

Great recipes of you love spam

I got this as a gift for my mom who loves spam. The book includes fun info about spam but more importantly, recipes that are divided into appetizers, breakfast, lunch and dinner...and a chapter in the back with slightly more complicated recipes from food bloggers. My mom has had this since Christmas and we've already cooked 4 of the recipes. There are about 8 different recipes just for musubi alone. Several casserols...kimbop; a Korean sushi which turned out to be amazing with spam, and more. Very creative and unusual which I personally love when it comes to food. We're making the tator tot spam casserol next.

Fun, tasty recipes

I bought this cookbook for my prepper husband since he has spam stashed in his food stores. We decided to celebrate National Spam Day and made five spam dishes from the book. Pleasantly surprised! With one exception, all the recipes we tried were good. I particularly like the bow tie salad with bits of cooked spam, a variety of vegetables, and an amazing vinaigrette dressing. Teriyaki kabobs were good as well.

Very Economical Recipes!

When I was a little girl, my Grandmother would fry Spam with eggs for me for breakfast. This Spam cookbook brings back so many good memories. These recipes are so easy, tasty and nutritious! I never realized Spam was such a versatile food item. I've started this tradition with my Great Grandson with Spam and eggs for breakfast.

SPAM COOKBOOK

I gave this cookbook as a gift to my two SPAM users and they both loved it. I also bought one for myself. I loved the recipes. My only wish was that they had the calories content for each recipe. Other than that I thought it was very interesting and colorful and can't wait to try all of the recipes in the book.
