Ja Rule Cookbook Will Feature Microwave Recipes

Ja Rule a thing or two in prison. Like, you know, how to cook with a microwave.

The singer announced this week that he is planning on releasing a cookbook based on the recipes he learned in prison.

Ja Rule told TMZ that the food in prison isn’t the greatest but he was able to make it edible with a little creativity.

The singer said: “[The food?] Protein. Eat a lot of protein. Eat a lot of fish, a lot of salmon – [the food inside] is not too good but you get packages and stuff like that. You can eat pretty good. You can eat decent enough. I ate everything. In jail, they’re pretty crafty. We made lasagna, we made cheesecakes, we had lots of things. I really didn’t eat prison food. I didn’t go to the chow line too much. We usually just cooked in our dorm. Yeah, yeah, we cooked our own stuff. So what we made was pretty decent. It wasn’t bad.”

The singer made a surprise appearance on Geoffrey Zakarian’s SiriusXM show, “Food Talk,” and said that he plans on turning his prison knowledge into a cookbook.

An insider told the Page Six of the NY Post: “He explained that while behind bars he learned to cook anything and everything in a microwave.”

Ja Rule isn’t the only singer with a cooking career. Coolio has been working on his cooking show, “Cooking With Coolio ” for awhile now. He even showed off his cooking skills to a group of college kids after a recent concert.
