Kafka's Soup - A Complete History of World Literature in 17 Recipes |
A Complete History of World Literature in 17 Recipes
Mark Crick's passion for literature, cooking and parody results in seventeen writers cooking their favourite meals - from Jane Austin's 'uniformly agreeable' Tarragon Eggs, to Chaucer's Onion Tart 'thinne pastry in a deep tinne' and de Sade's sinister Boned Stuffed Poussins. My favourite is Raymond Chandler's viciously prepared Leg of Lamb. Crick's illustrations, in the styles of Hogarth, Hockney, Picasso and others add extra flavour to each tale. A delightful book, and the recipes actually work. (Jenny Freeman - bwl 45 April 2008) |
