A literary-inspired cookbook that reveals the hidden meaning behind food in your favourite Gothic tales, from Jane Eyre to Beloved, The Picture of Dorian Gray to The Haunting of Hill House.
Dracula lulls his victim into a false sense of security with a spicy, smoky, peppery stew, served here with black tagliatelle for full Gothic effect. Frankenstein’s ‘monster’ starts out as a vegetarian who feasts on acorns, which happen to make crumbly, delicately sweetened bread. A sumptuous honeymoon dinner of pheasant with hazelnuts and chocolate signals consumption and indulgence in The Bloody Chamber, while the dripping crumpets and melt-in-the-mouth angel cake from Rebecca are pawns in a battle for control.
With knife-sharp analysis followed by divinely delicious and approachable recipes, A Gothic Cookbook is the perfect culinary companion for those of you who enjoy a slice of the macabre with your meal. Featuring hand drawn, original illustrations by Lee Henry and a foreword by Leone Ross.

She holds degrees from ‘L’Orientale’ University, Naples (Italy), and from the University of Westminster (UK, MA in Translation Studies); she was awarded a PhD in Food, Cultural Memory, and the Gothic in 2022. Alessandra worked with a Michelin-starred chef for nearly ten years before moving to academia, researching and publishing on food, cultural memory, the supernatural and the Gothic.
