In 1942 the author C. S. Forester asked Roald Dahl to write down some notes about his time in the RAF so that he could shape them into a story. However his notes were so good that they were printed in the Saturday Evening Post just as they were. This was Roald Dahl’s first published work and it made him realise he had a real talent for writing.

Product ID 9780140139051

Roald Dahl's Cookbook is liberally spiced with lively anecdotes, recreating the many wonderful meals that have been enjoyed by the Dahl family and their friends around the farmhouse table at Gipsy House.

Moules à l'Escargot vie with Tomato Jelly Ring among the starters. Equally imaginative and enticing are the wide range of main courses from Salmon Fishcakes to the intriguingly named 'Savoury Crocodile'. Among the mouth-watering puddings is a special section devoted to chocoholics.

Adding a touch of Dahlian macabre humour, there is the Hangman's Supper, with contributions from Francis Bacon, P. D. James and John le Carré, among others.


With illustrations by Quentin Blake and photographs by Jan Baldwin, this unique cookbook offers a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.
