FOREWORD

You never know what little thing is going to become important to your life. For me? I answered a crazy want ad on a whim. I didn’t know I’d get the job, and I didn’t know how that job would change me.

…But let me tell you, after you’ve saved the world (more than once), you won’t be the same kind of person. You can’t be.

I started a company, I started a family, and I found a lot of success in this world. And I owe all that to a confidence I might never have had without my experiences as a Ghostbuster. No matter who else I may become, I will always be a Ghostbuster. And as such, I want the memory of the Ghostbusters to be strong in the hearts and minds of the public.

Which brings me to this book.

As fellow Ghostbuster Peter Venkman once said, The road to peoples’ hearts is paved in merchandise.

That’s when I got a call from Ray Stantz.

He’d found the remains of a project in storage—a cookbook, of all things. Something the Ghostbusters were involved with at the height of our fame. Ray decided he wanted to complete it (with the encouragement of and help from a new friend, a kid who calls himself Podcast—the first person I’ve ever met that was as enthusiastic about things as Ray).

I was asked to invest in a small print run of the cookbook for Ray’s bookstore, and that’s when I knew I had found the perfect thing to test the waters with. After all, who doesn’t love a cookbook?

So, here we are, with the Ghostbusters cookbook, in all its glory. I’m a big fan of completing projects, and thanks to Ray and Podcast, you’re not just getting a pile of recipes. You’re getting a little piece of history.

Ghostbusters forever.

INTRODUCTION

The culinary manual you’re currently holding in your hands was originally born of a deal that Peter Venkman put together back in the ’80s, a way to pay off at least one of the mortgages on my childhood home. It should’ve been the perfect project for a ghostwriter—but Peter wasn’t always one to read a contract. The terms were clear: We had to pick the dishes we wanted in the book and write introductions for each.

Sounds simple, and it was—except for the fact that we barely had time to eat, let alone write the material needed for a book.

But we could always talk—so I came up with the idea of recording our thoughts and transcribing them later. We collected enough material en route to and from our regular caseload
