$\"\"$ When I posted this book on social media, you guys were EXTREMELY interested. I think this proves that one of the best ideas Disney has had is creating a \u201cvillains\u201d franchise. It certainly took them long enough to realize that princesses are nice, but villains are where the fun is to be found. Obviously, Insight Editions and author Julie Tremaine agree because they published and wrote, respectively, \u201cDisney Villains Devilishly Delicious Cookbook: 50+ Dishes Inspired by Your Favorite Villains, Including Ursula, Scar, and Cruella De Vil.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let us tell you the thing you most want to know first, what villains are represented in this book?
\nTamatoa from Moana<\/em>
\nFlotsam and Jetsam from The Little Mermaid<\/em>
\nDr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog<\/em>
\nMaleficent from Sleeping Beauty<\/em>
\nIago from Aladdin<\/em>
\nGaston from Beauty and the Beast<\/em>
\nLady Tremaine from Cinderella<\/em>
\nScar from The Lion King<\/em>
\nCruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians<\/em>
\nUrsula from The Little Mermaid<\/em>
\nHades from Hercules<\/em>
\nQueen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland<\/em>
\nMother Gothel from Tangled<\/em>
\nJafar from Aladdin<\/em>
\nMadam Mim from The Sword in the Stone<\/em>
\nMr. Smee from Peter Pan<\/em>
\nEvil Queen from Cinderella<\/em>
\nCaptain Hook from Peter Pan<\/em>
\nChernabog from Fantasia<\/em>
\nShere Khan from The Jungle Book<\/em>
\nAnastasia and Drizella from Cinderella<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, villains new and old are well-represented throughout the book. The variety of food and beverage recipes is just as diverse. Tremaine does an excellent job of offering beginner friendly recipes, such as Jolly Roger Brisket, Flotsam & Jetsam Party Mix, and Hypnotizing Snake Staffs, but also supplying more complicated recipes for chefs looking for a challenge, such as Voodoo Top Hat Cake, Huntsman\u2019s Pie, and Poor Unfortunate Rolls.<\/p>\n

Obviously, I needed to try a recipe and I chose a beginner friendly recipe that I thought would go well at a barbeque that I was invited to, Horrible Wholesome Sunshine Salad. Its name is based off a quote Madam Mim says in The Sword in the Stone<\/em>, \u201cI hate sunshine! I hate horrible wholesome sunshine! I hate it!\u201d<\/p>\n

$\"$ <\/p>\n

As you can see, as promised it was a simple recipe that does not require too much in the way of ingredients. Unfortunately, my local grocery store was lacking in citrus diversity and was out of fresh mint, so I was forced to use dry.<\/p>\n

$\"$ <\/p>\n

That said, this recipe came out great! Light, refreshing, healthy, and went great with all the assorted grilled meats. <\/p>\n

Is \u201cDisney Villains Devilishly Delicious Cookbook\u201d by Julie Tremaine a necessary cookbook? Not really. However, if you love Disney villains and cooking, Tremaine\u2019s book is absolutely worth every penny!<\/p>\n
