I love how the lore of the tasting section is pretty much essentially "Guy shows up, has some oisters at a local restaurant, trips the hell out and literally starts eating people before facing a manifestation of horrors beyond human comprehension he can only say 'ew' to"

Really enjoyed the video! I illustrated the book, and I've only had one of the recipes. When approached for the book, I was very concerned that they weren't considering hiring a food stylist/photographer. To get around the style choice, I thought we could have had the photographs somehow attached to the page, like an investigator's scrapbook. For the next book, Lovecraft Cocktails, I did full color representations of each beverage- because toned line art wouldn't cut it. We're starting work on a third book, and that, at least at this point, will have full color illustrations of each recipe.

I'm just imagining cthuhlu in a "kiss the cook" apron

A chill went down my spine as I saw the marmite slathered on the surface with the ceremonial knife. "Only doom can come from this." I thought.

Truly, the most terrifying chant. *Ketchup, Mustard, Barbeque, Ketchup, Mustard, Barbeque, Ketchup, Mustard, Barbeque* Chilling to the bone.

I could tell youve never had marmite before. When I saw you spreading it on my thought was "Oh No, That's Way Too Much!"

wow this episode has some next level acting in the tasting section, color me impressed!

The "ketchup mustard barbeque" chant compelled me to subscribe. Truly dark magic at work here.

Hearing someone say Necronomnomnom out loud always makes me smile. I actually own this book! Everyone involved in designing it was 100% on point. Your Lovecraft inspired monologue was perfection 😂

As a huge Lovecraft fan, this was video was immaculate. The Innsmouth oysters looked particulary delicious, and the book itself is grogeous. I couldn't stop laughing at the tasting, everything was describe so viscerally yet informatively. Oh, and as an Aussie, vegemite is by far superior : )

The narration for the tasting was delightful. The cultists are adorable and would be a great easy snack for an Arkham Horror or Call of Cthulhu game night.

Your passion for the Cthullu mysthos really shone through in this video. That taste testing segment was phenomenal, it absolutely sent shivers of terror and hunger snaking up my spine. Eating those robed cultists is kind of fascinating from a meta standpoint. Could we be the elder thing they are invoking? Are their mortal forms obscured so much that we can only perceive them as delicious snacks waiting to be devoured instead of the tortured souls whose flesh we masticate?

As someone who recently tried marmite watching you put so much on the bread had me wincing lol. Good call with the unsalted butter though, I used salted first time I tried marmite and oh boy that was a mistake

Cthulhu: "Look into the face of madness" MisoHungrie: "ew"

Apparently liking marmite is a genetic trait. I loved that ending narrationn and story telling you absolutely deserve more views on your great content

By far the most entertaining cooking video I've seen on this platform The way you slather that piece of bread with that much Marmite was positively horrifying, and beansprouts together with that? It's very clear the recipe was a work of genuine, otherworldly evil.

As someone who dabbled in the online community of the real life Cult of Cthulhu, I wholeheartedly endorse the depiction of Cultists as weiners. Delicious and appropriate.

To answer your question about Vegemite vs Marmite. Vegemite is from Australia and is savoury and salty with a bitter tang to it. Marmite is from England and it’s also salty but sweeter. I recommend trying them on heavily buttered toast with some melted cheese. And they are acquired tastes so go for a light spread if you haven’t tried them before. Also amazing video, I have this book and it’s great fun to read through.

I love the story you wrote for the eating section, made it video somehow even better

Cross-eyed Cthulhu sandwich is the cutest thing I saw this month. 😆😍

That's very clever! Notice that the final verdict of "Love the theme, Tricky to Craft" is a nod to Mr. Theme Tricky

Loved the editing and presentation of this vid! This book would make a really cool gift!

I loved your review section part, sounding like a real citizen of the lovecraft world!

I literally saw this book at the local nerdy store earlier today and was hoping I'd see you review it someday. Guess I got my wish granted haha

If they've got food like this in R'lyeh I don't mind giving my soul to a Great Old One

I like the fun description that makes tasting the food sound like it's out of a parody of a horror series or movie. I was laughing pretty hard at the end.

I was not expecting the dramatic tasting but I loved it! "...Leading one word to describe such ominous flavour. ew." That line broke me

I must agree with your analysis. Having cooked a few dishes from the Necronomnomnom myself, the lack of photographs makes it hard to know how successfully I made a dish. For example, when I made the Unknown Ka'Squash (Roasted Spaghetti Squash), the sketch left me unsure how much Parmesan cheese to put on the tomato. In the first attempt, I went light on the cheese and was left wanting more; the second attempt was more successful with a hearty helping of Parmesan. Other dishes suffer similar issues, but mercifully recipes just need some tweaks to reach good-to-superb quality. Its a cookbook that prizes its themes and artwork over the usefulness as a cookbook, but given how rare Lovecraftian food recipes can be, I think the creative choices were worth it.

Your sense of humor and the theatrics make your videos so much fun!!

I love this video so much, and the fact that it would give Lovecraft himself an aneurysm is just the cherry on top! Definitely gonna buy this as soon as I can!!

This video was hilarious and interesting at the same time, good work!

The sausage cultists are easily the cutest food item I have seen, the great old ones really are gods, gods of cooking that is

That book cover looks so freaking amazing! The illustrations are wonderful. And dishes are so spooky. I hope that on Halloween Special you make some of those recipes from this cookbook. Also r.i.p. cooking knife.

I would love to see you try one of these recipes with just the cryptic language!

Hey miso I just wanted to say I really like your channel keep up that good content 👍

After watching all of your cookbook critique episodes I can say it's hands down coolest cooking channel I have ever watched.

That was flipping brilliant man, that ending was so cool

Love the way you filmed the tasting section! It's really cool how you incorporate the cookbook theme into the video itself!

Heck with the food, your writing and editing skills at the end are legendary!

Love the content, brother, informative and very funny as always.

I bought the book as soon as it released and the first recipe I made, Curried Favor of the Old Ones, is still my favorite though I have moved on to more classic curries since. This is a cookbook only rivaled by my Hannibal cookbook in awesomeness. I also love your video! I'm now a subscriber! Thanks!

This was fun to watch. Thanks for the video Miso.

Okay, this is offically the best review you've done!!

I won't lie, this entire video absolutely convinced me I need to get this for my Lovecraft loving pal. Lol, fantastic video, extremely amusing. Especially the taste testing.

i really love your videos since i really get the feeling that you enjoy making them and you just have fun with the creation of it, cant wait to see you grow even more!

I was absolutely charmed by those sausage cultists and then the entire story of tasting horrors beyond your comprehension made this an A+ video.

Your videos and the passion within them have made me cook much more often!

this is gold! i love your mini skits 😆

Really loved this episode! Keep up the great work man! Big hugs from Italy!

Great as always!

I never knew I needed this in my life!

Hyped for this vid

This is my fave cookbook I own I've done quite a few of the recipes but it's cool to see you doing others

Okay, I can tell you had a LOT of fun making this video 😂

Wellnow I found my new favorite Halloween potluck treat- Cultists in robes!

This is so delightfully fun. I found this series (and your channel) from your One Piece cookbook review, and I don't know how I've never seen these videos before, these are so much fun! And really useful, I'm a sucker for themed cookbooks, but never know if they're more style than substance before buying them, so this is very helpful. Loved the video!!

Man I love your channel, for the cultists in robes wouldn't have been easier to cut the sausages after cooking them?

Amazing video !

this showed up on my fyp. simply the channel name alone made me contractually obligated to watch. was not disappointed! 10/10 subbed

I am obsessed with this channel. Lol. Keep up the great work!!

The end of the review is wonderfull.

This was a fun video!

This review actually cause me to buy the book and I love it. Tried the Shogg-Pockets, a pizza pocket, but subbed out the meatballs and pepperoni for ricotta and it was very yummy. Keep up the great reviews!

We used to make oysters rockafeller similar to this at the casino buffet I worked at. Was generally popular, but I still haven't been brave enough to try raw or partially cooked oysters (and yet I love sushi, go figure). Another great video, like the production and presentation, and agree, I would've been concerned about that cthulu dish as well. Also happy to see you use a Calphalon pan, those are made in NW Ohio where I'm at. Great job, looking forward to the next video already!

Love how you put this one together 🤣, I always enjoy your vids!

I'm so glad I found this channel

Hey Miso, thank you for all your uploads, you post such interesting and fun content, it always makes my day to watch your content, I had a lot of fun trying to recreate your minecraft cereal blocks:D

i love the extra lore at the end!

you've outdone yourself with the presentation this time

This is the best video yet!

I think that is my favourite cookbook and recipes so far.

Love this episode so funny! the acting was on point 100 out of 100!

Loved the storytelling tasting bit!

This video made me super hungry

We need more of you cooking and narrating from that cookbook ❤️

This is my second video I've watched and absolutely Loved this! I chanted a spell and then before I knew it the subscribe button was suddenly activated!

The pumpernickel part had me dying. This was great, thank you

Great video

Absolutely hilarious! Well done!

"Ketchup Mustard, Barbecue... Ketchup, Mustard, Barbecue..." This is brilliant, thank you so much for this. :D

The story at the end caught me completely by surprise. Just superb.😃

I own this one! Super cool.

Really loved the ending, the cultists were so cute I wanted to try them myself

Omg the cultists in robes are such a good Halloween party idea!

Subscribed! Great video. And the ending taste test bit was just hilarious 😂. Maybe you can do more recipes from this cook book?!

I love yer channel name, it’s great

Just the titel tells me it's awesome. (As well as this channel it's really unique)

This is so awesome!

I don’t know why this was in my recommended but I’m happy it was, this is cool

I have this book! Definitely my favorite cook book, even if it's tricky to make the stuff in it.

I really enjoyed how you described trying the food in a Lovecraftian fashion. I had the book gifted to me and find a lot of the ingredients are hard to come by in my area, so I haven't cooked any of it

"Mustard Ketchup Barbecue, Mustard Ketchup Barbecue" xDDDD I loved this one, you really pulled yourself :D Maybe next time you can replace the Marmite by olive paste (tapenade) I don't know if this exists in your place but this is delicious to olive lovers.

wow those cultist are pretty adorable. Id hate to eat them but their chant.... i wouldnt be able to stop.

Pig in the blanket honestly looks cute

I actually bought this after seeing someone recommend it in your comments. I agree with you on it being kinda hard to follow, but loved it

I've had that book for awhile, but was intimidated to cook anything. The actual finished products are so cute, in a weird way. I'm def gonna try make some stuff from it

You have convinced me, I am going to buy it

I own a signed copy of this cook book!!!!!!

Omg dude, this video is freakin' amazing!! I paused it a second or three in to spin around in my chair and go "Omg dude, me too!" haven't played it in an age. But I'm inspired. You're awesome and your presentation is fantastic as always ☺️😎🤠 cheers! 🙏

I love Marmite but that amount would've been too much for me! Overall though, great video! I'd love to try some of these recipes sometime :) Also I love the presentation at the end lol
