Hailed as the world's first recipe collection of its kind, Cooking With Balls includes testicle pizza, battered testicles and and barbecued testicles with giblets.
Ljubomir Erovic, the chef behind the book, said testicles are rich in testosterone and are believed to be a powerful aphrodisiac in China as well as his homeland of Serbia.
The collection, made available by e-book publishers YUDU, features testicles from several different animals, including stallions, ostriches, bulls, pigs and turkeys.
"Wash testicles thoroughly for 30-45 minutes," begins the recipe for testicles pie. "Once softened, mince them in a mincer."
A "very sharp knife" is needed for traditional style testicles, which get boiled, cut up and deep fried in hot oil.
Erovic, 45, said: "The tastiest testicles in my opinion probably come from bulls, stallions or ostriches, although other people have their own favourites. All testicles can be eaten - except human, of course. The best for aphrodisiac properties are sheep and stallion testicles."
Erovic also organises the World Testicle Cooking Championship held annually in Serbia since 2004. It draws in chefs from Australia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Norway and Serbia. One metric tonne of testicles are prepared during the contest.
I'm ordering this book tomorrow as well as the 'very sharp knife.' I will suggest a recipe out of it whenever Steve needs a behavior modification, "Can't find any ostrich testicles at HyVee, I may have to use yours........"

Now I have heard everything. Think
Steve better be on the look out.
Why arn't human ones good to eat?
Meinert's have peacocks, suppose
they would be as good as an ostrich? It sort of makes me sick
to just think about it. I don't
suppose I'll not be ordering the
book as long as you will have one.
Muller always says they are
rather " chewy". UGH.
I was wondering why human ones weren't good to eat, also. I'd say we should experiment...how soundly do you think Muller sleeps?
