This to-die-for cookbook offers recipes written by the author for one accessible, easy-to-follow dish or drink for each of Christie's 66 mysteries. Recipes include Fish and Chips at the Seven Dials Club, Literary Luncheon Meringues, Oysters Rockefeller on the Orient Express, Sixpence Blackbird Pie, Orange Marmalade from Gossington Hall, and more. Along the way, you'll learn how to make an exquisite omelet, how to roast a leg of lamb properly, and how to serve perfectly timed steak frites. Framing these dishes are insightful essays and headnotes that detail the history of the recipes, their context in Christie's life and times, and the roles they play in the source works. Based on extensive research and investigation, all dishes appear traditional to their respective eras, so steak fried for 1923 but marinated and grilled for 1964. Completing the collection, thematic menus assemble recipes for a Halloween murder mystery gathering, a "Christie for Christmas," a book club buffet, and other occasions, making it a filling tribute to the grand dame of detective fiction"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Christie, Agatha, $d 1890-1976. 650 0 $a Cooking. 655 7 $a Literary cookbooks. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013342.0 952 $l GPPC641 $d 20240420010541.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240402011016.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20231004010149.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5BA10940627B11EE9D8B625031ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
