- Synopsis
- Barbara Pym&’s sister Hilary teams with cookbook author Honor Wyatt to bring together this mouthwatering collection of family recipes, memories, and anecdotes drawn from Pym&’s diaries and letters, as well her most acclaimed novels Straight from the kitchen of Barbara Pym, this winning cookbook delivers a delectable treat for readers who like their meals served with a generous helping of literary aplomb. Sharing favorite family recipes that Pym incorporated into her novels, The Barbara Pym Cookbook reveals how the author&’s life intersected with those of her memorable characters. Inside you&’ll find British classics such as steak and kidney pie, plum cake, sausage rolls, and toad-in-the-hole—dishes that Pym&’s characters would often prepare for each other. Other treats, such as moussaka and risotto, reflect Pym&’s fascination with Greece and Italy. Throughout, the recipes are interwoven with references to Pym&’s novels; Dulcie&’s musings on &“love apples&” from No Fond Return of Love accompany directions for tomatoes à la Provençale, for instance. There are glimpses of Pym&’s personal life, too, such as her description of kipper pâté for lunch with Philip Larkin. The Barbara Pym Cookbook is a must-have for both budding cooks and Pym aficionados.
