The Dining Club of Interesting Occurrences (Paperback)

This book breaks the mould of cookery books and of fiction. It is a beautifully crafted set of short stories, written by Neil Russell-Jones, a well-published writer and author, each with a culinary theme that is reflected in menus of specially created recipes from a world-class chef - Lionel Strub. The stories and culinary themes span the globe: ranging from Wales, via Scotland through Greece to the Far East and from the Caribbean, through Hungary, Russia, via Kazakhstan to Canada. The recipes have been developed so anyone can re-create them in their own kitchen without expensive machinery or utensils. The book is set in a Dining Club where members regale each other with interesting tales over a meal, with appropriate refreshment. It encompasses buffets, full meals, picnics, and high tea. Some are humorous, others cover crime and mystery, each tale contains a 'twist' at the end; one tale contains a code which must be cracked and the first lucky solver will receive a prize... find out more in The Dining Club of Interesting Occurrences.
