There’s only one thing that Coolio's been doing longer than
rapping: cooking. While growing up poor, Coolio learned how to transform
the most basic ingredients into culinary masterpieces. For more than
thirty-five years, the superstar has honed his creative cooking chops, and he
now serves up 76 mouthwatering, easy-to-make and economical recipes
built around comfort foods with a healthy twist. ....
With chapters such as “How to Become a Kitchen Pimp,” “The
Rules of the Ghetto Gourmet,” “Pimpin’ the Poultry,” and “It’s Hard Out Here
for a Shrimp,” Coolio’s message to readers is loud and clear: “All you need is
a little bit of food and a little bit of know-how.” Coolio has infused plenty
of know-how into each recipe and chapter. ....
In addition to funky fares like “Finger-Lickin’,
Rib-Stickin’, Fall-Off-the-Bone-and-Into-Your-Mouth-Chicken,” the rapper also
mixes in a few tasty fusion genres such as Mex-Italian, Blasian (black Asian),
and Ghitalian (ghetto Italian), creating an entirely new cuisine: Ghetto
Gourmet.....
