Cooking With a Serial Killer: Recipes from Dorothea Puente
In the 1980s, Dorothea Puente ran a boarding house in Sacramento, California, where many of her tenants started disappearing.

She got no complaints about her cooking though.
The Testicle Cookbook: Cooking With Balls
Chef and author Ljubomir Erovic has been cooking with animal testicles for 20 years and prefers those from bulls, stallions or ostriches. Good for him.
