On top of all his other writing achievements, Vladimir Nabokov wrote the greatest ever recipe for a soft-boiled egg. It's one of the recipes by famous writers in this little volume which I wrote the foreword to. I'll be on @BBCFrontRow tonight talking about it w/ @JLQuoVadis


And a very special #CookbookCorner shout-out to Sylvia Plath’s Tomato Soup Cake: A Compendium of Classic Authors’ Favourite Recipes, with a charming foreword by @KitchenBee. I couldn’t possibly love this book more! You might not want to eat all the recipes (one that transfixed me in horror was Noel Streatfield’s Filet de Bœuf aux Bananas, which begins “I have to admit that I am normally a very bad cook.”) but you’ll certainly want to read them. Absolutely ideal Christmas present!
