I dedicate this "Tribute "Cookbook" to the hip hop world of rappers and rhyme writers. I pay my respect to this culture with my work on these pages. My intent is to entertain the entertainers who have entertained us. To all of those rappers who have gotten a bad rap...I cook for you on bended knee. To those who have sung for their dinner, I write recipes to honor you. In this book you will find recipes that will improve your health, make you drool and others I wouldn't feed to my dogg (Hoodrat Chile)...but do make me smirk. It is your duty to decide which is which. You will solve a puzzle in the Table of Contents, learn how to detox, make a spherification molecular cocktail, hail up the joints in chapter 420, and cook food from The South, East Coast, West Coast, Korea, Italy, France, Japan...food named for rappers around the globe.

A collection of mysterious, dangerous and you can't get there from here folk-travel stories by fifty writers, both amateur/folk art and professional. One woman travels the earth alone visiting Buddhist monasteries from Sikkim to Milano. 7 "Mercy Burlingame High School" classmates tell their adventure stories...from hippie Hawaii to exotic climbs and to Nepal after the quake. 1960's to 2015 moments of pleasure and terror.
