There was a spoof book in 2008 called "Manifold Destiny," which consisted of dinner recipes that could be wrapped in aluminum foil and placed under your car hood, near some hot part of the engine -- to be nimbly cooked in the course of an hour's drive to your destination.

I skimmed it in a book store, back in the day. Quite funny! (Where else could you learn about Hyundai Halibut With Fennel -- cooking time 55-85 miles.)

Shoot me for not realizing that it was a visionary guide to getting funded by Softbank.
