For the true culinary connoisseur, the end of the world is no excuse to let your standards slide in the kitchen. Just because the streets are teeming with groaning hordes of the undead or you can’t set foot outside due to the toxic smog and nuclear waste, there’s no need to start eating cold beans out of a tin like a damn student. With just a little bit of forethought and creativity, you can enjoy Michelin standard cuisine from the comfort of your bunker!

Here’s just a few of our favourite recipes to get you started.

Cockroach Cocktail

Ingredients:

1 cup cockroaches

2 tbsp mayonnaise

2 tbsp tomato ketchup

dandelion leaves

salt and pepper to taste

This is a great twist on the 70's classic prawn cocktail, updated for the Apocalyptic era. A tasty snack or lunch, and full of protein, great for keeping up your strength when fighting against against fellow survivors for shelter. And the best of all — cockroaches are in abundant supply!

Check out abandoned grocery stores for the highest quality (pro tip: head to the bakery section for the highest quality as flour fed cockroach has a distinctive sweet taste that goes well with French and Italian cuisine).
