Amazonのエディトリアルレビューより

   おなかすいたの？ スナックに「おばけきゅうり」はいかが？ メインコースには「泥のハンバーガー」もあるよ。それとも「へっぴり虫の卵」がお好みかな？…ロアルド・ダールのファンなら、お話に登場する奇妙なケッサク料理の数々はもうご存知だろう。そんなあやしい料理が『Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes』（邦題『天才ダールのとびきり料理』）に大集合。おいしいけれど気味の悪い名前がついたレシピが次々と登場する。

   たとえば「へっぴり虫の卵」は食用色素で色づけしたデビルド・エッグ（辛く味つけした卵）。パルメザンチーズをふりかければ、汗くさい靴下のにおいになるというオマケつきだ。「ミスター・ツウィットのひげづら」はマッシュポテトで作った顔に、かたゆで卵の目、カクテルソーセージの口などをのせたらできあがり。

   本書は誰でも簡単にできるレシピばかり。しかもぞっとする見た目に反して味はなかなかよろしい。奇抜だが魅力的なレシピが楽しい、ロアルド・ダール流料理ブック。

Amazon.com Review

Feeling hungry? How about some Snozzcumbers for a snack, or a Fresh Mudburger for dinner? Or perhaps you're in the mood for Stink Bugs' Eggs. Fans of Roald Dahl will recognize his peculiar culinary inventions from his many books--now, these dubious delights are collected all together in Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes, a compendium of dishes that sound worse than they really are. Stink Bug Eggs, for example, are really deviled eggs with some food coloring and a special, added ingredient (parmesan cheese or asafetida) to make them particularly aromatic. Mr. Twit's Beard Food consists of mashed potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, mushrooms, and cocktail franks cunningly arranged. Each recipe is simple to make, many are delightfully disgusting to contemplate, but all are easy on the palate. Roald Dahl himself would have been delighted to eat these ravishingly revolting recipes.
