Announcement: Novel Food Event

September 9, 2007 | Filed Under Announcements, Books, Food Blogging Events, Novel Food 

 

Have you ever been curious about or tempted to replicate a food you’ve read about in a novel?  I have.  The very first recipe I recreated happened after reading The Food of Love by Anthony Capella.  I enjoyed that book so much and stunned myself when I found out that I could actually prepare the food mentioned in it. 

After discussing the foods mentioned in the Montalbano novels by  Andrea Camilleri (books I’ve been meaning to read), Simona of Briciole and Lisa of Champaign Taste have come up with the idea to  co-host a Novel Food event.

Here are the guidelines:

  1. Prepare a dish of your choosing that has a connection to a novel.
  2. Post it on your blog by midnight on September 21, 2007.
  3. Send an e-mail to either Lisa (webrina AT gmail DOT com) or myself (simosite AT mac DOT com) and include your name, blog name and blog address, and a link to your post.

To read more about the event, go here.

Sounds like fun, Simona and Lisa!

    Thanks Paz for writing about our event. Your experience of reading a novel that made you want to recreate its recipes is quite special. Thanks to Anthony Capella for having inspired you.

    Hi Paz,
    that’s a great idea that you are passing on. I wish I could participate but I will be leaving next Friday for a month.
    When I read Under the Tuscan Sun several years ago I really enjoyed making several of the dishes the author wrote about.

    Hi Anna Maria: I love Under the Tuscan Sun. I have it listed in my links section. Hmmm… Maybe it’s time to look at it and see if I can make something mentioned there. Perhaps you can make something when you return from your trip. ;-) In the meantime, have a fun and safe trip.

    Ciao,
    Paz
