Synopsis

Explore the many evolutions of the Man of Steel through official recipes that capture his life growing up on Kent Farms, as a reporter in Metropolis, with fellow superheroes at the Hall of Justice, and as one of the last surviving Kryptonians in the Fortress of Solitude.Continuing a Kent Family tradition, Martha has put together an heirloom cookbook full of Clark’s favorite dishes… with help from his friends and colleagues, of course. Together, they’ve recreated the beef bourguignon and ketchup from Clark and Lois’s first date, Cyborg’s lucky game day potato skins, and J’onn’s Chocos. Martha’s even recreated Plurb, which she hears is wonderfully awful. She wasn’t quite ready to taste that one herself. From Jimmy Olsen’s go-to food truck gyro wrap to Oliver Queen’s spicy chili, not to mention Martha’s own award-winning apple pie, these meals combine one-of-a-kind design with comfort-food flavors. So you’ll feel at home, wherever you might hang your cape. INSPIRED BY OFFICIAL COMIC BOOK CANON: This cookbook was made in partnership with DC Comics.
