The ad for this ‘Eat This Book’ recipe book went wildly viral and it’s either the best or worst thing ever invented
We’ve got a whole bunch of recipe books on the shelves, many more books, in fact, than meals we’ve ever cooked using them.
But if we were ever tempted to add to our pile of kitchen shelf classics, then it’s surely this one, American author and TV presenter Cathy Mitchell’s ‘Eat This Book’ recipe book which does exactly what it says on the, er, book, and it’s gone viral. Wildly viral.

And people were divided over whether it was the best or worst thing ever invented. Here are our favourite things people said about it.

people are acting like this is insane but like… she’s selling parchment paper with recipes printed on it? that’s genius lmao i’m shocked that none of the meal kit companies have tried doing this sort of thing https://t.co/CfOSxYIQhv
