# Culinary Delights from Beyond: What Do UFOs Crave?
Written on
Chapter 1: A Journey into Cosmic Cuisine
Many years ago, I stumbled upon a remarkable cookbook that immediately caught my eye. Its captivating cover featured images of flying saucers alongside the phrase, “Inspired by the galactic beings of the UFOs.”
For those familiar with the campy B-movies of the 1950s and 60s, one might question whether this cookbook indeed includes recipes for human flesh. I even own a pair of boxer shorts that reference an iconic episode of The Twilight Zone, titled “To Serve Man,” which dealt with a cookbook used by extraterrestrial beings.
However, there's no need for concern, as the “space brothers and sisters” behind this book promote a vegetarian lifestyle.
Section 1.1: The Cosmic Cookery Unveiled
The cookbook I discovered is titled Cosmic Cookery, authored by Kathryn Hannaford and released in 1974. This publication emerged from a small spiritual community in California, led by an individual who claimed to be in contact with extraterrestrial beings.
The back cover gives credit to these aliens, stating, “Here at last is a complete manual of vegetarian cookery inspired by the Galactic Beings…” The book is dedicated to Allen Michael, also known as the Cosmic Messiah. His followers were captivated by the knowledge he received from UFO beings. The group was responsible for establishing the One World Family Natural Foods Restaurant, reputedly the first vegetarian eatery in San Francisco, which opened its doors in 1967.
In addition to the restaurant, Michael founded the One World Family Commune, authored multiple books, established a church, operated a clothing store, and even ran for the U.S. presidency three times. The commune also produced a musical album titled Quazar — One World Family — Extraterrestrial Music From ETI.
Michael contributed the foreword for the cookbook, which may be one of the most unusual introductions ever seen in such a publication. Here’s a taste of his writing:
> All food is psychedelic! If you want to go on pig trips–eat pig, cow trips, eat cow, chicken trips, eat chicken–and if you want to get caught on a hook and fried in a pan, you eat fish, ha!
His style is reminiscent of the whimsical language found on Dr. Bronner’s soap labels, filled with exclamations and capital letters. He discusses various spiritual topics, including Time-Light Cosmic energies and the Cosmic Light Continuum.
Section 1.2: Recipes from the Stars
The book is beautifully illustrated and reflects a labor of love. It features a variety of hearty vegetarian recipes, such as soups, salads, casseroles, desserts, pizza, and bread. The extraterrestrial influence encourages consumption of yogurt, tofu, and an array of vegetables.
Although I haven't used this cookbook in years, the pages with recipes for banana bread and carrot bread bear the marks of my previous culinary adventures, with stains that indicate I once prepared some delicious “UFO sustenance.”
Interestingly, health food cookbooks of that era often replaced chocolate with carob in dessert recipes. This book includes instructions for making carob brownies and carob chip cookies. Carob, derived from the seed pods of the carob tree, does not match the flavor of chocolate, which makes it a less desirable option in my opinion.
Chapter 2: Reflections on Health and Consciousness
The first video, titled Aliens Are Real: What Do We Feed Them?, delves into the dietary preferences of extraterrestrial beings and offers insights into their culinary choices.
Allen Michael passed away in 2010 at the age of 93, but the community still maintains a presence online through their Galactic Messenger website, where you can access his key work, The Everlasting Gospel.
In this later writing, he blends biblical prophecies, Nostradamus, and various conspiracy theories, all while maintaining a focus on the notion of food. When communicating through Michael, the aliens advise against using preservatives or additives, asserting that such substances contribute to disease. They advocate for a diet of natural foods and warn against “dead food, in which there are no living enzymes.”
To conclude, I would like to echo Michael’s cosmic message about food. As he said earlier in this article:
> All food is psychedelic. If you want to go on a fermented bovine milk trip, eat yogurt. If you want to be like mashed and coagulated bean juice pressed into a soft brick, eat tofu!
This cookbook may no longer be in print, but its cover continues to intrigue.
The second video, Why Every Alien (Even E.T.) Wants To Eat Humans, explores the fascinating relationship between aliens and their perceived dietary desires, providing an intriguing perspective on our culinary connections.
