Lesen und Kochen

In meinem neuen Buch geht es um das Lesen, das Kochen und das Essen. Ich habe erst ein paar Kapitel zu Kinderbüchern gelesen, bin aber bereits begeistert. Zu "Hänsel und Gretel" gibt es ein Rezept für ein Lebkuchenhaus, bei "Pippi Langstrumpf" werden Buttermilch-Palatschinken gekocht und zu "Rebecca" passt Orangen-Marmelade. Die Autorin erzählt auch über die Literatur, und über ihre Erinnerungen an bestimmte Bücher und dazu passende Speisen.

 

Mein Neues:

Cara NICOLETTI
Voracious

A Hungry Reader Cooks Her Way Through Great Books

Description: As a young bookworm reading in her grandfather's butcher shop, Cara Nicoletti saw how books and food bring people to life. Now a butcher, cook, and talented writer, she serves up stories and recipes inspired by beloved books and the food that gives their characters depth and personality.

 

From the breakfast sausage in Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House in the Big Woods to chocolate cupcakes with peppermint buttercream from Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections, these books and the tasty treats in them put her on the road to happiness.

 

Cooking through the books that changed her life, Nicoletti shares fifty recipes, including:

 

•The perfect soft-boiled egg in Jane Austen's Emma
•Grilled peaches with homemade ricotta in tribute to Joan Didion's "Goodbye to All That"
•New England clam chowder inspired by Herman Melville's Moby-Dick
•Fava bean and chicken liver mousse crostini (with a nice Chianti) after Thomas Harris's The Silence of the Lambs
•Brown butter crêpes from Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl

 

Beautifully illustrated, clever, and full of heart, Voracious will satisfy anyone who loves a fantastic meal with family and friends-or curling up with a great novel for Dessert.
