"Cuisines of the Axis of Evil is laugh-out-loud-funny; a shrewd primer on some of the more unsavory regimes the world has to offer, and a savory rendering of their cookery. Chris Fair by turns channels Richard Holbrooke, Steven Colbert, and Elizabeth David as she whisks up up a truly original contribution in the field of international relations and cook books."
     --Peter Bergen, author of The Osama bin Laden I Know

"Chris Fair's treatise on America's enemies--real and imagined--is just the remedy and recipe for a host of foreign policy failures."
     --Ann Louise Bardach, author of Cuba Confidential and Without Fidel

"Fair combines the culinary mastery of Iron Chef with the biting and acerbic wit of Jon Stewart's Daily Show in a snarky romp through some of the world's most picturesque and problematic hot spots. "
     --Timothy Hoyt, professor of strategy and policy, U.S. Naval War College

"A hefty helping of historical background on some of the world's most notorious states, complete with a side of sarcastic wit and criticism about the foreign policies of Bush, Kim, Castro, and the gang. The book features real recipes, ranging from culinary delights like Salat Gezer (Israeli carrot salad) to Burmese Phazun Hin Asa (spicy shrimp curry)--a must-read for foreign affairs junkies and foodies alike.
