Recipe for Murder Cookbook Literary Fiction Inspired Hannibal Lecter Jekyll+Hyde

Recipe for Murder: Frightfully Good Food Inspired by Fiction by Esterelle Payany and illustrated by Jean-Francois Martin Thirty-two great hero-villains of literature lure the reader into the kitchen to sample their signature recipes. Each chapter opens with an excerpt from the original story and quirky illustrations by Jean-François Martin featuring the criminal and his recipe. - The Big Bad Wolf roasts three little pigs in their blankets while Snow White’s stepmother concocts bewitching caramel apples. - The Queen of Hearts orders Alice to eat treacle tart while Long John Silver stocks the galley with sea biscuits. - And although Shakespeare’s infamous Brutus can toss his Caesar salad in a mere ten minutes, Dracula’s paprika hendl is best when simmered from dusk until dawn. - It is sure to be a duel to the end between Patrick Bateman’s truffled roast beef and Tom Ripley’s Venetian lemon chicken, but both can be paired nicely with a simple white bean salad from East of Eden’s Cathy Ames. Hardcover with dust jacket, 144 pages Beautifully illustrated and almost new (if not completely new!) A truly unique book -- make one of these recipes for your guests and your dish will be sure to spark a conversation!
