Cooking with Bears is the first and only book that uniquely captures “bears” creating delicious Italian dishes in their own kitchens. “Giving a middle finger to accepted body standards and homophobia at home,” Vice writes, “Cooking with the Bears… is dedicated to these furry fellows and the food they love to eat, and I’ll be damned if it isn’t delightful.”

From Gramigna with Sausages to Guinness Cake, and from Folktronic Spaghetti to Alternative Caponata, the 32 distinctive recipes in this cook-book offer an entertaining insight into cooking in the bear’s den. The book even features a foreword by Mike Enders, the founder of AccidentalBear.com, the benchmark for gay art, culture, fashion and music.

“Now there is a cookbook that rises above the junk—and it’s specifically designed for a subculture of hirsute, hyper-masculine homosexuals. That’s right: Bears just got their very own cookbook.” – Vice Munchies
