Synopsis

A fascinating and unique culinary journey, 'Recipe For Murder' by Esterelle Payany offers a delightful exploration into the darker side of fiction through the art of cooking. Published by Flammarion Et Cie in 2010, this first edition hardcover is a distinctive non-fiction work that brilliantly fuses the worlds of gastronomy and literature.

This intriguing volume presents a collection of 'frightfully good food' that draws direct inspiration from various fictional narratives, catering to both the adventurous cook and the avid reader. Originally penned in French, this English edition invites adults into a realm where culinary creativity meets the psychological depths of storytelling, promising a truly distinctive experience.

• Fictional Feasts: Discover a unique array of recipes where each dish is artfully conceptualised from elements within beloved (or infamous) fictional stories, offering a fresh perspective on character and plot through taste and aroma.
• Striking Illustrations: The narrative is richly complemented by the distinctive artwork of Jean-Francois Martin, whose illustrations enhance the book's thematic blend of the culinary and the macabre, making it a visual as well as a gastronomic treat.
• Psychology on a Plate: Delve into the subtle psychological undertones that connect food with personality and general topics, as each recipe subtly hints at the motivations, settings, or characters from the literary works that inspired them.

This charmingly macabre cookbook offers a splendid acquisition for collectors of unusual culinary titles, literary enthusiasts seeking novel interpretations of their favourite tales, or anyone with an appreciation for the creative intersection of food and fiction.
