Prison Ramen: Recipes and Stories from Behind Bars by Clifton Collins, Alvarez, Gustavo "Goose" Alvarez

3.0

Some really interesting stories from a surprising variety of people (Clancy Brown, even!) coupled with recipes for everyone's favorite cheap food. A lot of the recipes are more or less the same (ramen with summer sausage. Ramen with summer sausage and cheese! Ramen with summer sausage and soy sauce!) but that's sort of the point, even if it does get repetitive. It's not so much a book to inspire you to cook as much as it is a book about sharing another aspect of prison life, and it does that very well.
