Recetas de lugares imaginarios

There is a hunger that only books can satisfy. A hunger for adventures and extraordinary stories, for timeless characters and fantastical worlds. Because good literature awakens the senses. It has an aroma, it is savored, and it leaves a distinctive taste that we can relish for a lifetime. Alberto Manguel, a discerning reader and attentive cook, has devoured the richest literary delicacies and offers us here a tempting assortment of recipes that nourish both the soul and the stomach, forming a gastronomic atlas of dreamlike territories: from the fish stew of Atlantis to Beornid honey biscuits, passing through the fresh blood cocktail of Count Dracula himself or the wizard fingers served at Hogwarts. A literary feast that, like any good party, ends in the kitchen. All the recipes are paired with their literary genealogy and a drawing by the author.
