I love quirky cookbooks, and have quite a collection. I received this as a gift, and was amused and intrigued at the same time. It never occurred to me that there would be a cookbook with just recipes for Twinkies, but then again, why not? Also included is information regarding the 75 year history of the Twinkie...and yes, they do poke fun at the shelf life of a Twinkie! The chapters include "Fruity Twinkies", "Twinkies Take the Cake", "Twinkies A' LA Mode", "Twinkie Drinks", "Twinkie Stack-Ups", "Gourmet Twinkies", and "Twinkies and Meat". I agree with the previous reviewer and have not tried any recipes from the "meat" chapter, although the rest of the book is yummy! Some of our favorites include: Twinkie Burrito, Twinkie Éclair, Twinkie Strawberry Shortcake, and Twinkie Banana Split. Enjoy!
