Pump up the kitsch!

A very fun read! The recipes fall into three categories: the predictable (but yummy), the unpredictable but look like they'd be fun to make, and the downright bizarre. Most of the recipes in the book are of the more predictable recipe type, which uses Twinkies and some sort of pudding or ice cream or other binder to make things like trifles and cakes and sundaes, etc. The unpredictable but fun to make recipes include things like Twinkie Sushi, Twinkiehenge, and Twinkie Pancakes. The downright bizarre recipes include Pigs in a Twinkie, Twinkie Milkshake, and Twinkling Turkey (the Twinkie is part of the stuffing).

The best part of this book is not so much the recipe collection, but rather the historical journey through Twinkiedom and all the little extra Twinkie factoids they throw in. And of course, the wordplay with substituting "Twinkie" for "Twinkling" in several of the recipes. This book is worth its price for the kitsch factor alone!

Fun gift for a serious cook

I gave this book to my brother for his birthday. Everyone had a few good laughs over the different recipes. I am worried that a Twinkie Salad or Twinkie Tiramasu may show up at the next family gathering.

MMmmmmm Twinkies

I got this for my boyfriend as a semi-gag Christmas gift, and we love it! I cook a lot and would have never thought to do some of the things that Hostess has come up with. There is a brief section about the history of the Hostess Twinkie, and then it gets right to the good stuff. I like the fried Twinkies and the Twinkie sushi. We don't have any kids, but for those of you that do, this is perfect! Everyone will love to make (and of course eat) these treats. I think the hardest part, oddly enough, has actually been finding Twinkies at the grocery store.

A slue of fun and tasty recipes

Wow, what a fun little book! This book contains a slue of fun and tasty recipes, all made with that quintessential American treat, the Twinkie! My favorite two were definitely the Chocolate Twinkie Trifle, and the Chocolate Twinkie Pops - two hits with the kids.

So, if you want to really make a connection with the kids, get this book, and make one of the fun and easy recipes. I give this book my highest recommendations!

In 2005, as part of Twinkies? 75th anniversary celebration, Hostess put out a call for recipes, asking people to share their ideas for cooking?yes, cooking?with Twinkies. Hundreds of people from across the country responded with an amazing collection of homegrown, creative, and sometimes wacky recipes. Nostalgic, colorful, and a delight for the whole family, this is the perfect book for the Twinkie lover in all of us.
