Around the start of 2016, RMNB introduced you to the 1991 Hartford Whalers cookbook. And then shortly after, we introduced you to Capital Cuisine, a cookbook from the same era released by the Capitals. One of our readers even made Dale Hunter’s cookie recipe!
Twenty-five years later, we’ve come full circle. The 2015-16 Capitals are coming out with their very own book of culinary delights: Cooking with the Caps.
The book will contain recipes from the players, coaching staff, and the team’s caterer. Proceeds go to DC Central Kitchen.
We’re hearing the book will include (these totally fake) recipes like:
- Tom Wilson’s Mac & Cheese. Directions: 1) Open the box. 2) Dump the macaroni in the boiling water 3) Mix the cheese sauce 4) Feed Andre Burakovsky and keep him alive another day.
- Brooks Orpik’s Kale Salad. We hear it has a lot of crunchy intangibles.
- Michael Latta’s Gourmet Ketchup. Directions: 1) Go to Costco and get a three-for-one deal. 2) Squeeze ketchup into one of those fancy glass containers you buy from Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
- Alex Ovechkin’s GR8 Entree. Directions: 1) Go to McDonalds. 2) Buy a number eight combo meal. 3) Drive home. 4) Put it on a plate.
Here’s the cookbook’s cover.
You can buy your own copy here.
