Manifold Destiny is a 1989 cookbook ( ISBN   0679723374), its updated 1998 edition ( ISBN   0375751408) and a 2008 update ( ISBN   1416596232) on the subject of cooking on the surface of a car engine. It was written by Chris Maynard and Bill Scheller, a photographer and a travel writer who were also rally drivers. [1] [2] [3]

The authors claimed inspiration from a trip from Montreal to Boston, where the authors were inspired to keep a package of smoked meat from Schwartz's in Montreal hot by placing it in a secure spot on the car's engine block, having heard that it was said to be common for truckers to keep cans of soup hot by doing the same thing.
