Literary Cooking

by Carl Spitzweg

Recently, I mentioned Maya Angelou's cookbooks. Like to cook? If you'd like to try some story-related cooking, you have a LOT of choices!

* Library Thing has a compilation of Literary Cookbooks that includes everything from Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes to Food To Die For: Secrets from Kay Scarpetta's Kitchen.

* Jama Rattigan (whose whole blog is food and literature-based) has a list of her favorite literary cookbooks.

* About.com offers a Top 10 Literary Cookbooks.

* A site about Chaucer's Cookery.

* Harry Potter recipes

* An interesting food time-line, Mesopotamia through Shakespeare, with info about what Romeo and Juliet would have eaten, among other things.

* Recipes from Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel. (Reading that book was so mouth-watering! I should really try one of these...)

Yum!

Thanks for including me, T.

Have added the Hemingway Cookbook and Eat My Words to my Wish List after checking out the other links. :)

Love Like Water for Chocolate, too.
