Summary
Hangover Helper is a playful cookbook filled with tried and true recipes to cure your hangover, collected from culinary traditions from around the world. Each of the over 50 recipes will include a rating system that will indicate how easy it will be to prepare when hungover. Some dishes, such as the Bacon, Egg and Cheese or Pepperoni Pizza Bagel, can be made even if still drunk the following morning! Others will make use of traditional pantry staples and leftover classics to whip up dishes on the fly, like Bacon Kimchi Fried Rice. Also included are brunch cocktails for a hair-of-the-dog approach, alongside non-alcoholic beverages if you're going full-detox. Of course, having a hangover is not be a requirement to enjoy them – this is just as much a book for armchair drinkers as it is for world-weary tipplers!
