Competition: Cooking the books

issue 21 April 2012

In Competition No. 2743 you were invited to submit a recipe as it might have been written by an author of your choice.

Kafka’s Soup, a complete history of world literature in 14 recipes by Mark Crick gave me the idea for this challenge. It contains such gastronomic delights as Cheese on Toast à la Harold Pinter and Fenkata à la Homer and is a masterclass in literary impersonation.

You gave Mr Crick a run for his money.
