Description
|
|
|
|
Literary ventriloquist Mark Crick here presents a collection of 14 recipes, each written in the voice of a famous writer. "Raymond Chandler" gives us his Lamb with Dill Sauce ("I took out a knife and cut the lamb into pieces. Feeling the blade in my hand I sliced an onion, and before I knew what I was doing a carrot lay in pieces on the slab. None of them moved."), while "Marcel Proust" wistfully remembers a Tiramisu ("Madame Verdurin has tried everything to get the recipe, but Father wouldn't give it even to the Duke of Milan."). Here too are Homer and Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen and Irvine Welsh, Graham Greene and John Steinbeck.
