Drink and dine with recipes inspired by the best-selling novelist of all time.Poisons, knives, and bullets riddle the stories of Agatha Christie, but so does food, which she uses to invoke settings, to develop characters, and, of course, to commit murder. This to-die-for cookbook offers recipes written by the author for one accessible, easy-to-follow dish or drink for each of Christies 66 mysteries. Recipes includeFish and Chips at the Seven Dials Club, Literary Luncheon Meringues, Oysters Rockefeller on theOrient Express, Sixpence Blackbird Pie, Orange Marmalade from Gossington Hall, and more. Along the way, youll learn how to make an exquisite omelet, how to roast a leg of lamb properly, and how to serve perfectly timed steak frites. Framing these dishes areinsightful essays and headnotes thatdetail the history of the recipes, their context in Christies life and times, and the roles they play in the source works. Based on extensive research and investigation, all dishes appear traditional to their respective eras, so steak fried for 1923 but marinated and grilled for 1964.Completing the collection, thematic menus assemble recipes for a Halloween murder mystery gathering, a Christie for Christmas, a book club buffet, and other occasions,making it a filling tribute to the grand dame of detective fiction.RECIPES FOR MURDER has not been prepared, approved, or licensed by Agatha Christie Limited, RLJ Entertainment, or any individual or entity associated with Agatha Christie or her successors.
