A Literary Feast: Recipes Inspired by Novels, Poems and Plays

Jennifer Barclay

3.7/5 ( ratings)

‘One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.’

Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

From the moment Oliver asks if he can have some more gruel to the first time Harry sees the Great Hall banquet overflowing with unbelievable delights, food in literature has served itself as a feast for the imagination, where sights, smells and tastes are only a page-turn away.

This carefully crafted book couples both famous and unusual dishes in literature with recipes on how to prepare them, including Turkish delight Edmund wouldn’t be able to resist, a fruit salad the goblin men would covet and cucumber sandwiches even Algernon would eat in public. A fantastic feast awaits your senses, just open the book and you will see.
