Books we would have if famous authors wrote restaurant reviews, cookbooks and dinner guides instead of fiction
(I haven't seen a list post in a while, so here's one.)
F. Scott Fitzgerald: Tender is the Chicken / The Great Gatsby’s Guide to Dinner Parties for the Aloof / This Side of Potatoes
John Steinbeck: The Wine of Wrath / Of Mice and Men - Cheese for all occasions
Stephen King: Currie / The Bread Zone
Harper Lee: To Eat a Mockingbird
Thomas Keneally: Schindler’s Wine List
Anthony Burgess: A Clockwork Orange Sauce to Die For
Hemingway: The Cake Also Rises
George Orwell: 19.84: Dinner for under $20
Ayn Rand: Atlas Sautéed
Truman Capote: Marinated in Cold Blood
Sue Grafton: A is for Apple Pie / B is for Baking / C is for Cookies (that’s good enough for me)
Zora Neale Hurston: Their Eyes are Watching the Pot – And it’ll never boil
Flannery O’Conner: A Good Cheesecake is Hard to Find
William S. Burroughs: Naked Lunch
Happy Reading
