A gift for Christmas in my Yuletide communities "BookSwap," I absolutely fabulously loved this book. I love the pictures. I love the fiction choices. I love the details they added about both the food of the time period or the reason for the book, as well as things about the author in the back. (

An interesting dip into some of the foods served up within the classics of fiction worldwide, e.g. Proust's Swann's Way within In search of lost time - the tea and madeleines look very attractive. Format is a colour illustration of a dish, e.g. Heidi's fondue and a facing page about book and author. Great fun. (

What a fun book. It would be great to have a dinner party of this same theme! (

I love this idea! The left page has a passage from a (usually) well-known piece of literature that mentions food, and the right-hand page has a photo of the actual food.

Sounds less interesting than it really is, I swear.

Bibliophiles will enjoy it! People who like food will enjoy it! (
