Roland Topor - A Cozinha Canibal

For unfathomable reasons, this work has never been spotted on the shelves of cookbooks, among titles with similar gastronomic sex appeal, nor among self-help bestsellers or foreign fiction displays.

A representative piece of the panic style cultivated by Roland Topor, A Cozinha Canibal (1970) serves the reader forty-three mouthwatering anthropophagous recipes — nearly fifty ways to prepare Homo sapiens, one of the most unjustly underrated meats, due to its versatility and accessibility — generously garnished with kitchen tips, delightfully macabre aphorisms, and presentation suggestions. From gratinéed short-sighted man to the unmissable boss’s head with mashed potatoes, not forgetting delicacies like peasant pâté or breadcrumbed missionary mince — Michelin-star chefs and diners of the world, rejoice in this feast of ideas for cooking and savoring your fellow human being!
