Patriot's Cookbook

Patriot's Cookbook is a skill magazine in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
On the front is a red stamp administered by the pre-War Federal Bureau of Investigation, which claims that it is "banned material" and "to be burned" on February 11th, 2069. Despite this, the magazine remained in wide circulation across the southwestern United States, being found across the Mojave and beyond. The magazine offers articles on creating explosive devices for a variety of purposes, such as Abraxo based bombs and mailbox bombs. Given the banned nature of the material, it is hinted to have an anarchistic or communistic bent to it.
