Recepty k vraždě

Agatha Christie fan and food lover Karen Pierce focuses on food in Agatha Christie's detective novels in her cookbook. She has gone through all of them and written easy recipes for dishes or drinks that are mentioned in them or are related to the plot. She has added many interesting facts to the recipes, such as the preparation and serving of food at the time Agatha Christie wrote her books, such as when hot food was first served on an airplane, or what the situation was like in England regarding domestic servants during World War II. As you go from recipe to recipe, you'll also learn about the history of hot chocolate, when the espresso machine was invented and the connection between Miss Marple and passion fruit and between Agatha Christie and Elvis Presley! And as Karen Pierce entertainingly takes us through Agatha Christie's "murder menus," we realize that dark deeds can take place in any "gourmet" situation: at the dinner table, at a cocktail party, at a casual lunch, at a birthday party, at a Halloween party, or at afternoon tea. Try enjoying oysters Rockefeller from the Orient Express, macaroni and cheese from the Rusty Cat, Old English caraway pie, Welsh scones, the perfect cup of hot chocolate... But remember - Recipes to Murder are food not only for the body, but also for the mind.
