Most of us were introduced to F. Scott Fitzgerald and his famous novel, The Great Gatsby. Most of us read it in school and wrote reviews of the book. However, a new edition of the novel has been released that includes some fun recipes from the 1920s, The Great Gatsby: The Complete Novel with 15 Recipes Inspired by the Roaring ’20s. There are no changes to the story, and the actual novel is a quick and easy read, since it’s short; it can be read in an afternoon. The recipes, however, are new and it’s fun to plan a menu around them.

The book has cute illustrations, and is very colorful. It’s fun to re-read this classic and it’s even more fun to prepare the recipes which are easy to follow; they are written in the traditional manner with a list of ingredients followed by step-by-step instructions and a quote from the novel that makes the recipe apropos to the novel. There are only 15 recipes, ranging from appetizers, sandwiches, snacks, and cocktails. Each is illustrated beautifully.

All told, this is a fun book and fun to cook from. It would make a good gift for literary friends.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.
