what a clever concept a book of recipes written as some of the greats of Literature might have written them. Rather than a numbered recipe each one is written as a short story, if you like. I particluarly enjoyed the Irvine Welsh - Chocolate Cake "there's nae need to beat the eggs: the 1422 from King's Cross goes by the windae and stirs every fuckin thing including me"

Marquis de Sade - : "should not the supreme aim of gastronomy be to untangle the confusion of ideas that confront mankind"e rabbit

Homer's recipe follows odysseus stalking and killing the rabbit and Chaucer gives us his recipe in verse after recapping what has gone before.

A little more than an hour's read but also a useful recipe book if you wanted to try some cooking.
