Utah&#8217;s Dian Thomas has also given directions for cooking under the hood of an automobile in some of her &#8220;Roughing It Easy&#8221; books. But given the price of gasoline nowadays, it&#8217;s probably cheaper to just use your stove.<\/p>\n<p>2. &#8220;The Original Road Kill Cookbook,&#8221; by Buck Peterson (Ten Speed Press, 1987, $6.95).

I would be very, very careful around the stove!<\/p>\n<p>6. &#8220;Cooking to Kill: The Poison Cook Book,&#8221; by Ebenezer Murgatroyd &amp; Herb Roth (Peter Pauper Press, 1951, $15). This slapstick book boasts recipes to use on spoiled brats, business rivals and strayed lovers that will &#8220;make your friends die laughing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>7. &#8220;Wookiee Cookies: A Star Wars Cookbook,&#8221; by Robin Davis (Chronicle Books, 1998, $1695).
