Set Burners to Five Minutes on Low, Because There’s a Vinnie Paul Cookbook

No, it’s not a book about how to cook Vinnie Paul. I already know some of you are gonna crack wise in the comments. Instead, it’s a cookbook based on the “Sunday Funday” dinners he would host by cooking family recipes for his friends and family.

Titled Drumming Up an Appetite With Vinnie Paul, the cookbook features a number of personal recipes that the famous Pantera/Damageplan/HELLYEAH drummer would make over the years. Work on the book started back in 2015. At that time, Vinnie Paul was still very much alive and with us and he was apparently stoked to have the book eventually come out.

“It’s all about cooking and having fun with it. A lot of people think cooking is throwing something in the microwave. It’s something that you’ve really got to be passionate about, just like playing an instrument. If you put your heart and soul into it, and then you feed it to people, and you’re [like], ‘Oh, man! This is so good.’ It makes you feel good. It’s just like playing music; [people say] ‘G-damn, I love this sh*t!’”

Released by publishing company Z2, the book is split up into three sections: main courses (Reinventing The Meal), side dishes (Far Beyond Kitchen) and of course, desserts (A Vulgar Display of Flour). Each recipe is a chance for Vinnie Paul fans that want to connect not just with the late drummer, but the food that he loved making for the people that mattered most to him. And now you can share those recipes with the people you care about too.

The book is out now and available in hardcover via Z2’s webstore for $29.99. If you want to spend $79.99, you can get the deluxe cooking bundle, which will come with: one (1) Hardcover Mass Market Edition, one (1) butcher-paper protective dust jacket, one (1) Vinnie Paul “Cooking Hostile” apron, one (1) Vinnie Paul “Hellyeah!!!” 25-piece napkin set, and one (1) Hellyeah University Vinnie Paul Cooking Diploma.
