The Christmas Dining Club of Interesting Occurrences - Paperback

by Neil Russell-Jones (Author), Lionel Strub (Author)

A must for all cookery libraries and a real treat for those who love stories in a Christmas setting.

This is the second book in the series 'The Dining Club of Interesting Occurrences'. The first book was described by fans as 'A fantastic blend of beautifully crafted stories and mouth-watering recipes'. Others described it as 'Taking me into culinary realms and tastes which I would never have entered had it not been for this book.' One reader stated that it had opened his (yes his!) eyes to menus from across the globe!

The first book 'broke the mould' of cookery and fiction by combining fascinating stories and wonderful recipes together in one book. This second book brings a new perspective to the herbs and spices of the Christmas festive period. Each story is based within the Christmas period, from the first Sunday of and up until Epiphany - the 12th night. Each chapter also has a poem reflecting the particular day of Christmas in which the story is set: written by the members of the Dining Club. As before Lionel has crafted a selection of fascinating and succulent international recipes, building on the setting of the stories each one using a herb or spice so redolent of the Christmas period.
