Moog Cookbook is the name of an electronica band made up of Brian Kehew and Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (under the aliases Meco Eno and Uli Nomi) as a parody/tribute to the novelty "Moog records" of the late 1960s and early 1970s (Popcorn by Hot Butter; Beaver & Krause) which were produced to demonstrate the versatility of Bob Moog's instruments, most of which have a strong kitsch flavor. They released two albums in the 1990s featuring instrumental cover versions of alternative and classic rock tracks performed primarily with analog synthesizers.

The band's name derives from Moog's Musical Eatery, a "cookbook for carefree entertaining" published in 1978. The book's author is Shirleigh Moog, wife of synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog.
