A recipe from Stan Lee Presents: The Mighty Marvel Superheroes’ Cookbook (1977).

This one was strange, to say the least.  I suppose changing a form factor can be fun.  I seasoned the meat a little more than suggested, and it was fine, but I don’t know, even in this book with its pretty mediocre recipes, it wasn’t as good as some of the others.

So You Want to Read More about Chinese Mythos: a rough list of primary sources

"How/Where can I learn more about Chinese mythology?" is a question I saw a lot on other sites, back when I was venturing outside of Shenmo novel booksphere and into IRL folk religions + general mythos, but had rarely found satisfying answers.

As such, this is my attempt at writing something past me will find useful.

(Built into it is the assumption that you can read Chinese, which I only realized after writing the post. I try to amend for it by adding links to existing translations, as well as links to digitalized Chinese versions when there doesn't seem to be one.)

The thing about all mythologies and legends is that they are 1) complicated, and 2) are products of their times. As such, it is very important to specify the "when" and "wheres" and "what are you looking for" when answering a question as broad as this.

-Do you want one or more "books with an overarching story"?

In that case, Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods (Fengshen Yanyi) serve as good starting points, made more accessible for general readers by the fact that they both had English translations——Anthony C. Yu's JTTW translation is very good, Gu Zhizhong's FSYY one, not so much.

Crucially, they are both Ming vernacular novels. Though they are fictional works that are not on the same level of "seriousness" as actual religious scriptures, these books still took inspiration from the popular religion of their times, at a point where the blending of the Three Teachings (Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism) had become truly mainstream.

And for FSYY specifically, the book had a huge influence on subsequent popular worship because of its "pantheon-building" aspect, to the point of some Daoists actually putting characters from the novel into their temples.

(Vernacular novels + operas being a medium for the spread of popular worship and popular fictional characters eventually being worshipped IRL is a thing in Ming-Qing China. Meir Shahar has a paper that goes into detail about the relationship between the two.)

After that, if you want to read other Shenmo novels, works that are much less well-written but may be more reflective of Ming folk religions at the time, check out Journey to the North/South/East (named as such bc of what basically amounted to a Ming print house marketing strategy) too.

-Do you want to know about the priestly Daoist side of things, the "how the deities are organized and worshipped in a somewhat more formal setting" vs "how the stories are told"?

Though I won't recommend diving straight into the entire Daozang or Yunji Qiqian or some other books compiled in the Daoist text collections, I can think of a few "list of gods/immortals" type works, like Liexian Zhuan and Zhenling Weiye Tu.

Also, though it is much closer to the folk religion side than the organized Daoist side, the Yuan-Ming era Grand Compendium of the Three Religions' Deities, aka Sanjiao Soushen Daquan, is invaluable in understanding the origins and evolutions of certain popular deities.

(A quirk of historical Daoist scriptures is that they often come up with giant lists of gods that have never appeared in other prior texts, or enjoy any actual worship in temples.)

(The "organized/folk" divide is itself a dubious one, seeing how both state religion and "priestly" Daoism had channels to incorporate popular deities and practices into their systems. But if you are just looking at written materials, I feel like there is still a noticeable difference.)

Lastly, if you want to know more about Daoist immortal-hood and how to attain it: Ge Hong's Baopuzi (N & S. dynasty) and Zhonglv Chuandao Ji (late Tang/Five Dynasties) are both texts about external and internal alchemy with English translations.

-Do you want something older, more ancient, from Warring States and Qin-Han Era China?

Classics of Mountains and Seas, aka Shanhai Jing, is the way to go. It also reads like a bestiary-slash-fantastical cookbook, full of strange beasts, plants, kingdoms of unusual humanoids, and the occasional half-man, half-beast gods.

A later work, the Han-dynasty Huai Nan Zi, is an even denser read, being a collection of essays, but it's also where a lot of ancient legends like "Nvwa patches the sky" and "Chang'e steals the elixir of immortality" can be first found in bits and pieces.

Shenyi Jing might or might not be a Northern-Southern dynasties work masquerading as a Han one. It was written in a style that emulated the Classics of Mountains and Seas, and had some neat fantastic beasts and additional descriptions of gods/beasts mentioned in the previous 2 works.

-Do you have too much time on your hands, a willingness to get through lot of classical Chinese, and an obsession over yaoguais and ghosts?

Then it's time to flip open the encyclopedic folklore compendiums——Soushen Ji (N/S dynasty), You Yang Za Zu (Tang), Taiping Guangji (early Song), Yijian Zhi (Southern Song)...

Okay, to be honest, you probably can't read all of them from start to finish. I can't either. These aren't purely folklore compendiums, but giant encyclopedias collecting matters ranging from history and biography to medicine and geography, with specific sections on yaoguais, ghosts and "strange things that happened to someone".

As such, I recommend you only check the relevant sections and use the Full Text Search function well.

Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Chinese Studios, aka Liaozhai Zhiyi, is in a similar vein, but a lot more entertaining and readable. Together with Yuewei Caotang Biji and Zi Buyu, they formed the "Big Three" of Qing dynasty folktale compendiums, all of which featured a lot of stories about fox spirits and ghosts.

Lastly...

The Yuan-Ming Zajus (a sort of folk opera) get an honorable mention. Apart from JTTW Zaju, an early, pre-novel version of the story that has very different characterization of SWK, there are also a few plays centered around Erlang (specifically, Zhao Erlang) and Nezha, such as "Erlang Drunkenly Shot the Demon-locking Mirror". Sadly, none of these had an English translation.

Because of the fragmented nature of Chinese mythos, you can always find some tidbits scattered inside history books like Zuo Zhuan or poetry collections like Qu Yuan's Chuci. Since they aren't really about mythology overall and are too numerous to cite, I do not include them in this post, but if you wanna go down even deeper in this already gigantic rabbit hole, it's a good thing to keep in mind.

The Owl House Cookbook Zine FAQ

What is this?

We are putting together a free, digital cookbook fanzine with recipes, fanfic, meta/trivia, and fanart inspired by the food of the Boiling Isles. To honor Luz, Camila, and Manny, we would also like to include Dominican and Puerto Rican cuisine — potentially with a Demon Realm twist. 

We're taking inspiration from cookbook fanzines in other fandoms as well as the fantastic @vee-fanzine (check it out!).

Are there content restrictions?

Contributions must be food-themed and related to The Owl House. The main zine will only accept G or T rated fanworks. We are still deciding on whether to include alcoholic beverages in the main zine, as a separate download, or not at all for this volume.

What roles are there?/How can I contribute?

We'd like 2-5ish mods in total, chefs who can take the lead in developing recipes, recipe testers, people who research food-related trivia from the show, writers to put relevant trivia/meta in blurbs/recipe notes, fanfic writers, beta readers, fan artists, and anyone else who'd like to brainstorm/discuss recipes, bread puns, and other fanzine contributions.

Do I need to apply to contribute?

Mod applications are open through June 22nd since @findmeinthefallair and @zyrafowe-sny would like a couple more people to help run the event.

Starting June 14th, we will have a non-binding interest form we'd like all potential participants to fill out. We do not have a formal application/screening process for contributors. Because this is a digital zine, we don't have to worry about page length and can accept all contributions that meet the guidelines and are submitted by the due date.

When is it being released?

We are aiming for the third anniversary of Thanks to Them (October 15, 2025) and are hoping to release a second volume on the anniversary of Watching and Dreaming (April 8, 2026).

Will there be a print edition?

At this time, we want to keep this zine relatively simple and accessible by only providing a digital download. We're hoping the digital edition can be printable for personal use and are not completely ruling out an organized print run in the future, but the logistics around a print edition are complicated and hard copies/shipping can be pricey.

What about..?

Please feel free to send an ask if you have any other questions. We'll be updating this FAQ as needed.

A friend of mine at the ALA was sharing some pictures of all the "READ" posters in the American Library Association Washington DC headquarters with a couple of us, when she asked a truly fantastic question --

"What book would you pose with for your ALA Read poster?"

I found it really tough -- do you go for something that is the most "you" or for something you love the best or for like, the Prestige Title? I finally settled on a cookbook, the Nero Wolfe Cookbook, because that feels fun and unique and also up until a few years ago it had been stolen from almost every library that ever held a copy.

But I also thought it was such an entertaining question that I asked if I could share it with all of you, so TELL ME: what is your Read Poster Book?

(Honorable mention for that time I made a READ poster from a photo I took of Polk climbing my bookshelf.)

[absolutely-existing]

boy does it work indeed. good job i suppose

sunsets is excellent i think it’ll go on all the trio playlists. considering elenia also. caught in my shadow is a maybe for conner? offer me the bait and i’d take it/offer me the cake and i’d bake it fits really well but beyond that it’s like. i can see why you’d suggest it but it’s not quite my guy.

will listen to the whitlams 🫡

JUAN i’m playing my elenia playlist and. it’s really egregious how many good songs you’ve suggested there. thinking about beautiful day by U2 elenia once again. and survival expert by something for kate elenia. and jc by powderfinger elenia. and after the storm by mumford & suns elenia always. fuck you

It may be a roundabout way to convince people to listen to Australian bands of the 90s but boy does it work.

On that note...

This for Fir:

This for Conner:

And pretty much the entire discography of the Whitlams as a general vibe for Ariae?

Torch's Fireball

Stan Lee Presents: The Mighty Marvel Superheroes' Cookbook (1977)

I got my hands on this cookbook, so I plan to try several recipes out. Recipes is a loose term for what's in the book though. It should be fun. I do not know why Thorch's fireball is not a ball. It's also not spicy. But it's fine. I did also season the meat. You should do that if you make this too.

Mx. Cookbook,

Would you be comfortable giving a handwriting sample to be part of a tattoo? Tuesday I'll be getting a Ghost Stories themed tattoo, as that song like so many of yours means so much to me. I was hoping for the words "Stay that way".

If not thats totally understandable and I hope you have a fantastic day!

(P.S. The following day I'll be a VIP at the Pittsburgh show so you'll get to see it fresh and in person!)

HELLO YES. I'll reblog this with the handwriting ASAP, hope I didn't leave it too late

[abluescarfonwaston]

Trekkies do I have the cookbook for you

I cannot stress enough how cute this book is. Not ideal if you like pictures of your food but fantastic if you love little recipe stories like one about a meal Neelix made for Seven after she'd joined the crew.

Find it at a library near you. Really. It's adorable.

All The Fun Bits From The Sonic Cookbook

The cookbook was made by Sonic, Tails, and Amy

And Eggman, who apparently broke into Tails' lab and added his own recipes because he was jealous

Knuckles makes paste to use as filling for rolls by smashing together stuff he finds on Angel Island

The recipe for egg tarts in the cookbook is the same in Sonic's time as it is in Silver's

One time all the ovens in the Sol Empire's palace failed during a gala event, so Blaze helped out the chefs by using her flames to cook the food, and continued doing it from time to time afterwards

Rouge likes food that tastes expensive

In the post-06 timeline, Amy still visited Soleanna, but she never met Elise. She mentions feeling like they would've gotten along great

Blaze often gets so focused on her work that she forgets to eat

The Diamond Cutters used to celebrate a successful mission with muffins. Whisper feels like she's with them again when she eats one

Marine asked the chefs in the Sol Empire's palace to make her some curry, but she thought it was too boring, so she went in and made some for herself

(Ngl I almost teared up at this one. Silver I love youuuuuu)

After a successful heist, Rouge likes to treat herself to something indulgent

Rouge plays the mandolin (I think)

Every so often, Sonic will get a sundae supreme and think of Chip

(This one is so good too. Ian Flynn thank you for blessing Silver fans with this)

Eggman is a pretty good baker

Blaze's family has had their own tea recipe for many years

(Literally all the Silver bits are fantastic. I can't get over it)

Chao fruit are edible to Mobians
