From Mary Shelleys Frankenstein to Shirley Jacksons The Haunting of Hill House, A Gothic Cookbook focuses on thirteen different Gothic stories and their edible motifs before bringing them to life--and to your table. Delicious yet devious, this cookbook is a culinary and literary delight. nDracula lulls protagonist Jonathan Harker into a false sense of security with cold cuts and a spicy, smoky, peppery stew. Frankensteins monster starts out as a benign vegetarian, while Mrs. Pooles overindulgence in Mothers Ruin triggers Mr. Rochesters downfall in Jane Eyre - and a bitter tangerine signals a sharp, yet unheeded, warning against marriage and Manderley in Rebecca. Notice, too, how a ghostly presence craves sugar and burnt bread in Toni Morrisons Beloved... n n Inspired by Dr Alessandra Pinos academic studies into how food manifests itself on the pages of Gothic literature and combining her knife-sharp analysis with Ella Buchans experience as a food writer and recipe developer, A Gothic Cookbook pays homage to the most appetizing cuts of the genre, featuring over sixty original recipes illustrated by Lee Henry. n n Including recipes such as: n n- Minas Chicken Paprikash from Bram Stokers Dracula n- That Very Special Gingerbread from Daphne du Mauriers Rebecca n- Acorn Bread inspired by Mary Shelleys Frankenstein n- And many more
