Camp Cookery:Outdoor Cooking Secrets from 1910 - sounds interesting and it's only ten dollars on Amazon.
Cool Kitchen: 125 recipes for Summer - this book is dedicated to oven and stoveless cooking and I'm sure it would have ideas that could be adapted for life-with-a-cooler. Out of print but still available second-hand.
(NOTE - a listing in this category does not mean that their supplies are any better or worse than any other supplier - just that I found or was given the website. Hurricane supplies can be bought from MANY locations at a widely varying range of prices. Use your own discretion...)
Emergency Supplies (disaster kits, 72-hour survival kits etc)
Camping Equipment

AlpineAire also makes instant self-heating foods called 'Inferno' which sound like they'd be great for a hurricane kit, but they're all out of stock. They also sell a gluten-free line.
