LOL! Got a book like that for free at the local community centre book
exchange (take one book, leave a book).

It's called 'Food From Famous Kitchens'. Subtitled 'The Brand Name
Cookbook'.

The first recipe the book opened up to: Avocado Dressing. The kitchen:
the Dow Chemical Company.
However, other than being a revolting (to me) recipe, there weren't any
strange chemicals in it. The 'ingredient' they supplied: Saran Wrap

There are edible recipes in there however.
