From the author
The introduction to the book was written by the modern American poetess Sarah Leturno.

... food and drinks really play an important role in literature. As a big reading fan, I always appreciated it. Thanks to immortal stories, such as the “hobbit, or back and back” by John Ronald Ruela Tolkien or “Centerbury Tales” by Jeffrey Choser, as well as more fresh, whether it is “Cool boiling” of Laura Eseskivel or “Hunger Games” Susan Collins, - I lost my account how many times I licked the dishes offered in them, admired conversations, disputes and subsequent awkward silence. Even my evening reading is necessarily accompanied by something edible: there should be a cup of freshly brewed tea nearby, otherwise the ritual will not be observed.

Pour yourself a cup of tea and see what dishes you will be interested in. Probably, any of the books you read in childhood and still consider the best? Test such recipes first of all to indulge in nostalgia and remember why you so love these stories. And who knows, maybe Alison’s work will inspire you to a full thematic tea party - with scenery, outfits and, of course, the menu comes from the most memorable books of the past. ”
