Sinopse

Estérelle Payany shares to-die-for recipes inspired by scoundrels from popular literature. 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 Whites 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 Shakespeares infamous Brutus can toss his Caesar salad in a mere ten minutes, Draculas Paprika hendl is best when simmered from dusk until dawn. It is sure to be a duel to the end between Patrick Batemans truffled roast beef and Tom Ripleys Venetian Lemon Chicken, but both can be paired nicely with a simple white bean salad from East of Edens Cathy Ames. This spirited collection drawing from fairytales, literary classics, and contemporary favorites is as entertaining as the recipes are scrumptious (and harmless!). And with the winning ingredients in Recipe for Murderfamous literary thrillers and authentic home-style recipesit would be a crime to pass up this diabolically delicious book!
