Overview
This Ain't No Picnic is the first cookbook featuring creative and delicious recipes that match the quality and presentation of a gourmet restaurant with the self-parody and humor of punk rock culture and history. A comedic art book full of social commentary, it explores and improves the favorite foods of historic punk rockers. Through exclusive interviews, Picnic treats you to the delectibles they could-and perhaps should-have been eating. How to make s'mores with a zippo, cook without a stove or oven, and 80 new recipes of Joshua Ploeg's magical food and flavor combinations like you've never dreamed of.

Reviews
"""[...] this awesome looking recipe compendium is presented in a humorous, self-effacing style that pokes fun at all things punk while simultaneously teaching you how to cook vegan-style."" --Chris Auman, greenactionnews.net ""For those of us who get sustenance from punk rock as well as food, Joshua Ploeg has now conveniently combined them in one book!"" --Jon Ginoli, author, ""Deflowered: My Life in Pansy Division"" ""The recipes range from restaurant worthy (lentil loaf, burrito with cucumber salsa) to quick and dirty (zippo smores, credit card sandwich), but it's clear Joshua knows what he's doing in the kitchen."" --Alissa Saenz, connoisseurusveg.com"
