A Fabulous Book

[tawnyfrog]

For foodies and literature lovers. It's a small book, would be a great stocking filler or small "thank you" gift.

"Kafka's Soup" by Mark Crick. (Harcourt Inc) $14.95

This is so much fun. 14 recipes presented in the voices of famous writers.

An Excerpt from "Lamb with Dill Sauce a la Raymond Chandler".

"I needed a table at Maxim's, a hundred bucks, and a gorgeous blonde; what I had was a leg of lamb and no clues. I took hold of the joint. It felt cold and damp, like a coroner's handshake. 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."

Hi, I just finished this delightful little book. My favourite story is the last meal before the execution.
I like how in some instances the meal is sort of juxtaposed to the author. I cannot imagine Franz Kafka being flexible enough to try Miso soup. LOL.
