'Cookin' With Coolio' And 9 Other Pop Culture Cookbooks

By Emily Temple, Flavorwire:

It seems like every piece of popular media nowadays spawns a million spin-off products, from action figures to fan fiction to art shows. Sometimes we think the endless product-creation is a little tiring, but we do enjoy the ongoing trend of pop culture cookbooks. Recently we heard about "The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook," which got us to thinking about all the recipe troves inspired by books, television, movies and music, from the questionable to the decidedly delicious. Click through to see ten of our favorite pop culture cookbooks, and let us know if we’ve missed any of your favorites in the comments!

A few years ago I bought my wife a Winnie the Pooh cookbook. The title is "Cooking With Pooh".

I got the "Cookin' With Coolio" book as a gag gift for my sister as a birthday present. It's hilarious.

Is "Pop Culture" another way of saying crap?

Am I wrong to wonder if the Miss Piggy one has any bacon recipes?

I imagine she's not a fan of Epic Mealtime.

A few years back, a friend gave me The Gone With The Wind Cookbook.
It features such classics as;
Tarleton Twins' Broiled Oysters On The Half Shell
Mammy's Creole Rice
Melanie's Popovers
Aunt Pittypat's Coconut Pudding
and--
Tara Eggnog.
Can't say I've ever cooked anything out of it, but the book is a tacky hoot.

I have the Star Trek Cookbook, which has real-world versions of the various foods depicted on four of the shows as well as behind-the-scenes stuff on how they did the prop food--apparently most of the booze they showed onscreen was just Gatorade due to the colors.

There are 10 cookbooks that will never be in my home... amazing that some companies will publish anything just to make a little bit of money.
