Summary: Great ideas for your next Star Wars themed party
Review: A friend of mine gave me this book for my birthday. I'm not into cookies, but I am definitely a Star Wars fan. The book was published in 1998, so there are no references to the prequel trilogy.

The book has a deceptive flat spine on the outside, but the inside is spiral bound so the book can lay flat on your counter - a must in any cookbook.

The book only has 29 recipes, but it is presented well. It has lots of full color photos revealing the final product - what your food should look like when you're done, and peppered in with various Star Wars action figures.

Despite its title, this is not a cookbook for just desserts - there are only 7 dessert recipes in the book. Some recipies are basic, where only the names are clever... such as "Hoth Chocolate" (which is just hot chocolate) and "Han Burgers" (which are juts plain ol' hamburgers) with a few visual puns such as the "Twin Sun Toast" and the "R2-D2 Treats."

For finicky kids who like Star Wars but typically just poke at their food, having an official Star Wars recipe may be just the thing to convince them to eat. The clever names will make you sound like a genius when you whip up some snacks to bring to work or have a party for other Star Wars fans.

The last page has some foil stickers for you to put on packages you may prepare for family or friends with such clever lines as "Use the Fork, Luke" and "Give in to your dark cravings," these are a cute addition.

It would have been nice for the author to have included either physical or web addresses for places to get Star Wars themed party supplies. Everything to R2-D2 cookie-cutters to paper table cloths, etc. I have seen these items and know they exist. Having a supply list like that would have been a nice addition to the book, as would have been stickers on a surface that is easier to write on. The foil/metalic stickers do not hold ink very well and smudge - and there are only a few stickers to begin with.

Overall, it's a fun book and a conversation starter to be sure. A good edition to add to your kitchen's reference shelf, or even as a coffee table book, this cookbook adds some creative flair to ordinary recipes.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A very funny book
Review: Even if you don't actually make anything out of this book, it is still a good buy. The pictures are really funny and the recipes are for food the average person actually cooks/eats. Nothing super fancy or complicated. I definitely recommend it for any Star Wars fans that you know.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun for ALL!!

Summary: Great Way For Getting Kids (Esp. Boys) Involved in Cooking
Review: I'm one of those subversive types who likes to get kids out of their gender roles every once in a while. This book and the second one have been great hits as birthday presents for a number of boys we know who would ordinarily think of cooking as "girl stuff." Parents all reported that their sons became interested in cooking as a result of receiving these books and have gone on to give them as gifts themselves.

There are also a couple of recipes that *I* return to again and again for family meals because they're simple, quick and delicious.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: chew on this!
Review: If you feel like doing the jabba jiggle, or having some ca-razy cantina chili then this book is for you. I bought this book for a friend who loved star wars & was into amateur cooking. But when I got the book I knew I needed one for myself! For you may be able to resist the dark side... but you sure can't resist any of the dark side salsa. Explore the recipes of this delighful book which includes Yoda soda, bossk brownies, jabba jello, boba fett-ucine, & lots more.
