Rapper Ja Rule to write cook book

Rapper Ja Rule is planning to pen down a cook book that is inspired by his time in prison.

The 37-year-old spent almost two years behind the bars for illegal gun possession and tax evasion. He insists that every recipe in his book will be microwavable.

He revealed his plan during an unexpected appearance on a cookery show.

"He explained that while behind bars he learned to cook anything and everything in a microwave," nypost.com cited a source as saying.

Ja Rule had previously admitted that the prison food wasn't "too good" but he was able to eat well by making his own dishes, which included lasagne and cheesecake.
