Description
An unusual cookbook for literature lovers with delicious recipes inspired by great scenes in literature. Literature is nourishment. The author has created inventive menus to accompany the pleasures of reading Proust, Isak Dinesen, and Charlotte Bronte. Along with tempting your palate with luscious cuisine you'll learn how very central food is in *Anna Karenina*, *Moby-Dick*, *Jane Eyre*, and *Marjorie Morningstar*. If there were no joint of meat in Roald Dahl's *Lamb to the Slaughter*, the philandering husband would be living happily with his new love. Without the dirty cup of tea in Doris Lessing's *A Good Neighbour*, Jane Somers might never wake up to love; and Rose in Alice Munro's *Royal Beatings* might be able to resist her stepmother if she could resist salmon sandwiches. Included are over 50 recipes from 25 books and stories, including: Queso Relleno (*Serenade*); Chicken Tarragon (*The Sweet Dove Died*); Quail with Potatoes and Grapes (*Babette's Feast*); Lamb a la Robin (*David Copperfield*); Meat Tart (*Ethan Frome*), and a full menu inspired by *The Magic Mountain*.
