General cookery & recipes

A compendium of culinary delights and literary gems from Vintage's most celebrated authors

A great book is like a feast. We love to concoct stories from food but

what about making food from some of our favourite stories?

To whip up your own Literary Lunch, just follow this simple recipe.

- Take a generous helping of Ian McEwan and leave to marinate overnight.

- Add some Sebastian Faulks to a pan and saute on a high heat.

- Mix in a dollop of Louis de Bernieres (don't stint) and shavings of Mark Haddon and bring to the boil.

- Add a rounded teaspoon of Anne Tyler, a smidgen of Neel Mukherjee and a pinch of Julian Barnes, according to taste. You may also wish to add a sprinkling of Salman Rushdie to add some heat.

- Reduce the mixture down and add a splash of Irvine Welsh, skimming off excess expletives.

- Remove from the heat and add essence of Haruki Murakami slowly, drop by drop, making sure to mix in thoroughly.

- Meanwhile, using a rich brandy or calvados, flambe thinly sliced extracts of Simon Schama - to avoid a scorching, avert face and be prepared for a flare of potentially large flames.

- Finally, bring all the elements together and plate up with a dash of Jeanette Winterson and garnish with a sprig pf Helen Fielding.

Enjoy with a full-bodied red wine.
