The Illustrated Dinner at The Globe: ...Shakespeare's restaurant, bar, and grill (The Pasta Papers Book 2)

As contemporary food critic Harold Bloom noted, Shakespeare's historic culinary importance cannot be contained. In time, "he has become a spirit or 'chef of light' almost too vast to apprehend." Each of the recipes that follows offers a version of one of William's hundreds if not thousands of now world-renowned recipes. Owner and executive chef of The Globe, it has always been William's design to take his patrons on a poetic journey not only to satisfy their tongues but their minds, hearts and by and large most of the rest of their internal organs as well. If you like The Bard, to cook, or even just to eat, you'll find your fill in these pages.
