‘Beautifully written, artfully illustrated, and filled with wonderful recipes' Tom Parker Bowles
A literary-inspired cookbook that reveals the hidden meaning behind food in your favourite Gothic tales, from Jane Eyre to Beloved, The Picture of Dorian Gray to The Haunting of Hill House.
Dracula lulls his victim into a false sense of security with a spicy, smoky, peppery stew, served here with black tagliatelle for full Gothic effect. Frankenstein’s ‘monster’ starts out as a vegetarian who feasts on acorns, which happen to make crumbly, delicately sweetened bread. A sumptuous honeymoon dinner of pheasant with hazelnuts and chocolate signals consumption and indulgence in The Bloody Chamber, while the dripping crumpets and melt-in-the-mouth angel cake from Rebecca are pawns in a battle for control.
With knife-sharp analysis followed by divinely delicious, approachable recipes and hand-drawn illustrations, A Gothic Cookbook is the perfect culinary companion for those of you who enjoy a slice of the macabre with your meal. Featuring hand drawn, original illustrations by Lee Henry and a foreword by Leone Ross.
