Description
Recipes from Imaginary Places Book Description: Alberto Manguel, whom we know with his books such as The History of Reading and Library at Night, takes his readers on a new journey towards the imaginary countries he previously described in the Dictionary of Imaginary Places: This time to introduce interesting dishes, appetizers, desserts and drinks. This book, full of extraordinary and delicious recipes inspired by the magical geographies of The Odyssey and One Thousand and One Nights, the worlds of Cervantes, Borges, Poe, Tolkien, JK Rowling and many other authors, is Manguel's book. It reminds us that, as written in the preface of the book, "literature is not only food for the soul." From Babylon Letter Soup and Lotus Salad to Vegetable Utopia Stew, from Dinoburger to Nutcracker Cookies and Sun Nectar, you are free to create any menu you wish from this colorful list! Recipes from Imaginary Places: An appetizing, irresistible travel call for both book and food enthusiasts, accompanied by fun illustrations by Alberto Manguel. “Reading Manguel is like taking a stroll around the city or having an unhurried meal together with a wise, cosmopolitan friend.” The Economist (From the Promotional Bulletin)
