Kafka’s Soup by Mark Crick

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to have dinner with Franz Kafka, Jane Austen or Raymond Chandler, this is your chance to find out.

Literary ventriloquist Mark Crick presents seventeen recipes in the voices of famous writers, from Homer to Irvine Welsh. Each pitch-perfect piece is illustrated by Crick in the style of a celebrated artist, from Hogarth to Hockney.

Guaranteed to delight lovers of food and books, these witty pastiches – which also work as recipes in their own right – will keep you so entertained in the kitchen that you’ll be sorry when your guests arrive.

‘Marvellously, the recipes actually work, but the real joy of this little book is Crick’s ear for literary parody ... the resulting confection is irresistibly moreish, and would make as imaginative and entertaining a Christmas stocking-filler as you’re likely to find’
