About the Book
"Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me."
— Anthony Bourdain
Well said, Anthony. That's what The Dead Legends Cookbook is all about: The famous folks and their culinary desires coincide with the historical time period in which they lived. The recipes and flavors of their time present themselves to us in often outrageously complicated — and sometimes incredibly simple — ways.
So let's discover interesting facts about some Dead Legends, how they influenced the world, and what delicious — and occasionally quite odd — dishes they prepared. Take a stroll back in time, and see what these powerhouses preferred for their palates.
