This Ain't No Picnic: Your Punk Rock Vegan Cookbook - Paperback

by Joshua Ploeg (Author), Dalton Blanco (Photographer), Vice Cooler (Photographer)

This Ain't No Picnic is the first cookbook featuring creative and delicious recipes that match the quality and presentation of a gourmet restaurant with the self-parody and humor of punk rock culture and history. A comedic art book full of social commentary, it explores and improves the favorite foods of historic punk rockers. Through exclusive interviews, Picnic treats you to the delectibles they could--and perhaps should--have been eating. How to make s'mores with a zippo, cook without a stove or oven, and 80 new recipes of Joshua Ploeg's magical food and flavor combinations like you've never dreamed of.
