The perfect gift for literary cooks – a little book with a fascinating quotation from Shakespeare on one page, matched to a tempting recipe on the next. Fascinating quotations from Shakespeare relating to food are complemented on the facing page by a simple but succulent recipe. All recipes are workable, if concise! Many of the recipes have a sixteenth-century English flavour. The book is divided into sections, each based on a quotation, such as Cakes and Ale, Food for Midas, Golden Fruit, Meat Sweet Savor’d.
