I used to read it when I was young
This book is about a kid who is captured by some kind of monster. The monster is going to eat him, but the kid convinces him that he would be tastier with a certain recipe, which requires the monster to go out and gather outlandish ingredients, like bicycles and bricks. This repeats until the kid has got enough equipment from the recipes that he can brick up the monster and escape.
