This book breaks the mould of cookery books and of fiction. It is a beautifully crafted set of short stories, written by Neil Russell-Jones, a well-published writer and author, each with a culinary theme that is reflected in menus of specially created recipes from a world-class chef – Lionel Strub.

The stories and culinary themes span the globe: ranging from Wales, via Scotland through Greece to the Far East and from the Caribbean, through Hungary, Russia, via Kazakhstan to Canada.

The book is set in a Dining Club where members regale each other with interesting tales over a meal, with appropriate refreshment, and it encompasses buffets, full meals, picnics, and high tea. The recipes have been developed so anyone can re-create them in their own kitchen without expensive machinery or utensils.

Some of the tales are humorous, others cover crime and mystery, each contains a ‘twist’ at the end and one tale contains a code which must be cracked, and the first lucky solver will receive a prize… more details in the book.
