New from Swamp Dogg and Pioneer Works Press: 'If You Can Kill It I Can Cook It'

Featured spreads are from the If You Can Kill It I Can Cook It, the one-of-a-kind cookbook by legendary singer, songwriter and record producer Swamp Dogg. Out now from Pioneer Works Press, this spiral-bound album features much more than recipes from an avid cook and bon vivant. Family photographs, career mementos, a discography and rich tales of life among the most creative and influential musicians of the twentieth century intermix in a most appetizing way. While the “Whores d’Oeuvres” chapter contains recipes for Devil Went Down to Georgia for Eggs and Pâté Quincy Jones, “Noodles” contains recipes for Fettucini Jerry Lee Lewis and Spaghetti and Meatballs LL Cool J. The “Pork” chapter lists Lionel (Ham)pton and Pork Chops Stuffed With (Charley) Pride, etcetera. Published to coincide with the documentary film, Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted, this is a book that brings the joy, the humor and the passion to all of life.
