The first-ever Twitter cookbook―filled with 1000 recipes for great eats and special tweets...

The New York Times called tweeted recipes quite possibly the "first great recipe innovation in 200 years"―then crowned microblogger Maureen Evans the queen of the genre. This talented home cook has a knack for boiling down recipes to their essence: every single step and ingredient is condensed to Twitter's maximum of 140 characters or fewer, and not a single keystroke more. Eat Tweet―the first ever Twitter book of recipes―is like a shorthand sous-chef. Part of the fun lies in decoding the author's clever recipe tweets, each one a model of clarity and usefulness. But this one-stop compendium of curated recipes and food ideas is so much more. There are recipes from around the world, from Kashgar Noodles to Biscotti, as well as homey favorites like Garlic Chicken and Chocolate. In addition, Eat Tweet contains kitchen tips and techniques (also 140 characters max) and a lexicon for translating Twitterese cooking terms like s+p (salt and pepper) and tst (toasted). From Lemon Lentil Soup to Pumpkin Pie, it's like a shelf of cookbooks in one tasty volume.

This is an imaginative and fun book. I gave it to a friend for Christmas and he got a laugh out of it, although I don't think he's actually tweeted any recipies from it.

Blinded by the novelty

I saw this book in Urban Outfitters and I immediately wondered: is this complete pop culture insanity or certified genius?

Maureen Evans had an advantage over most people to come up with something like this, being the girlfriend of Twitter developer Blaine Cook, but I'm not sure that really matters so much as the potential of the extreme dialect of txt_spk she developed for her @cookbook project. The remarkable level of information density she pulls off (including translations of such classics as Julia Child's boeuf bourgignon and Jim Lahey's no-knead bread) is a gift to recipe exchangers -- rather than relying on email or redirect services, a quick-on-the-draw cook can send a favorite recipe by text message. I have a couple of quibbles -- some of the terms she uses aren't quite as abbreviated as they could be, and the use of fraction glyphs is problematic for any application that doesn't support Unicode (unfortunately, notation this dense isn't very metric-friendly) -- but for the most part Evans has created something with some real value for amateur cooks.

However, though the real star of this book is the notation, what might get lost in the novelty of it all is this: this is actually a pretty solid general kitchen cookbook. There's over a thousand recipes crammed into the ~260 pages of the book, and they cover a satisfyingly broad, strongly international selection of just the basics. Although it's perhaps a bit more for an advanced cook than, say, Joy of Cooking , it's both inexpensive and reasonably comprehensive. The notation takes a bit of getting used to, but the glossary is comprehensive and there's plenty of (plain English) notes to help you through.

So, in conclusion, yeah, it's pretty nuts, but it's amazing how the strangest and silliest things sometimes prove themselves to be very useful indeed. This book would be particularly good for a teenager or college student learning to cook, but really anyone with a bit of patience can get plenty of use out of it.

I love how liberating this format is!

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2014

I never got the point of Twitter until I saw my first recipe. What a great idea, and done well by Ms. Evans.

There is exactly as much information here as any good cook needs, and no more. That said, it is obviously not a book for beginners, who might not be able to decypher things like "T" and "t" (tablespoon and teaspoon), and would likely be lost with something like "Beat2lb flank8x10."

As some of the other reviewers have pointed out, the use of Unicode fractions (like "⅓c crm& ½t fresh nutmeg") means that they sometimes don't print well. I write recipes, have now started including Twitter versions of them, and I find it MUCH easier (and more compact) to list ingredients (and measure) by weight, in grams.

Easy to follow recipes in bite size 140 character tweets

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2010

I got a copy of this book as a gift. It's great, i like twitter, and thinking about how to be concise.

The author has taken recipes, lots of them, over 1000, and wrote them in the shortest form possible. I thought it'd be hard to decode, figure out how to translate the short hand in to food on the table. There's a guide, but i didn't need it.

There's a game you can do with it, pick a recipe you have no idea what it'll look like, follow the discussions, and cook it. Then compare the food as you eat it with the wikipedia page about the dish.

Eat Tweet's a great gift for the tech savvy chef.
