Description: The Myra Breckinridge Cookbook 1970 FIRST EDITION - Known as the Sex Cookbook Campy cookbook based on the premise that “anybody who likes sex and food can’t be all bad.” The narrator is a fictional character from Gore Vidal’s 1968 novel Myra Breckinridge and along with her recipes are black and white photos from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Marilyn Monroe's full-body nude photo is on page 171. Breckinridge is a film critic and cook who “cannot emerge from a theater without feeling hungry or horny.” Recipes in the 324 page collection are organized by section. The chapter “Collectors’ Items” features menus for dinner and a movie. For the movie Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Fredric March) is this French dinner menu: Mr. Hyde Blood Pudding, St. Germain Pea Soup, Steak au Poivre, Haricots Verts aux Amandes, Endive Orange and Onion Salad, and Dr. Jekyll’s Chocolate Mousse. Recipes throughout the book have risqué names like Cumin Covered Cock, Dill Dough Buns, Cod Pieces and Fallatio all’Arrabiata. An entire 22 page chapter is called “Gangbang Buffets [What To Eat After…]” with recipes like Lovers’ Lamb Stew and Gangbang Lasagne.
