"Now, as everyone knows, science fiction writers are a bibulous lot, gay, carefree, articulate, sophisticated, intelligent - high livers, one and all - each in his special fashion of course (we do not wish to imply generalized extravagance, merely a gift for joyous living). Above all, they are writers. Give an author a recipe to write and it seems all kinds of inhibitions get shed. So here, naked and unashamed, writing as they never have before, your favorite s.f. authors bring you their favorite recipes - from soup to wasssail, and even mead; expensive recipes, cheap recipes, recipes orthodix and unorthodox. You will have one helliva lot of fun. And if you can't cook, never mind. Just read." (fron the front flyleaf)
