If an army marches on its stomach, what do crime fiction authors do? Here’s your answer, an exclusive collection of recipes from the Hobeck Books authors team served with a dash of brilliant flash fiction too…
If you love a dribble of ketchup or a drizzle of raspberry jus with your fiction, then this is the cookery book for you.
Discover the delights of mouth-watering Maltese rabbit pasta and luscious lamb in coffee. Or dare to sample chicken wings more deadly than a game of chilli roulette.
Then there’s the story of how a midnight cheese, cucumber and salad cream sandwich helped launch Hobeck itself.
This collection guarantees stomach rumbles and belly roils, and all proceeds help others through the Trussell Trust and their network of foodbanks across the UK.
What did I think?
This is a wonderful charity anthology with an unusual twist: there aren't just fabulous short stories to discover when you open the book, there are also some mouthwatering recipes to try.
Hobeck publish outstanding books so it's no surprise that this anthology is of the highest quality as the authors I have come to know and love have contributed to it. Even Adrian and Rebecca, Hobeck itself, have written stories and it was lovely of Rebecca to share the personal story about the sandwich that helped to launch Hobeck.
I was entertained from start to finish and I loved the format of the book with each part headed up by an imaginative recipe that describes the different genres that Hobeck publish. It's perfectly balanced with stories and recipes; I loved every single story and there are so many recipes I want to try.
Proceeds from the sale of the book are being donated to The Trussell Trust and with cost of living rising so rapidly, supporting food banks is even more important now. It really is a fabulous anthology - definitely put this one on your Christmas list. Not to be missed and very highly recommended.
I received an ARC to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
