How many miles does it take to braise a fish fillet? Should you use your exhaust manifold or your valve cover for a pork tenderloin? Were Jaguars really designed with veal scallopini in mind?

Hat’s off to Bill Scheller and Chris Maynard, the car-loving culinary geniuses who created Manifold Destiny: The One, The Only, Guide To Cooking On Your Car Engine—the world’s weirdest cookbook, according to a recent poll on AbeBooks.com
