Hello again everybody! I'm back again with the book review I mentioned. I have been busy today so I'm getting all this stuff posted later than I thought I would. So here we go!
Title: The Last Dinner On The Titanic: Menus and Recipes From The Great Ocean Liner
Authors: Rick Archbold & Dana McCauley
Genre: Cookbook
Pages: 144
Rating: 3 stars
Synopsis: A cookbook designed to recreate the atmosphere of dining on the famous, doomed luxury liner . It serves up such recipes as Lobster Thermidor, Quail Eggs in Aspic with Caviar and Poached Salmon with Dilled Mousseline Sauce and Cucumber,
My thoughts on the book: I thought it was an ok read. Not the best book I've read all month but ok. Some of the recipes sound really good . Even some of the 3rd class dishes sound excellent.
One of the things I found interesting about the book is that it talked a little bit about what it was like to be a cook on the ship. That was something I haven't read a lot about . Did you know that some of the cooks weren't considered either ship crew members or passengers?
I thought some of the foods they ate sounded interesting but odd. One thing that makes me have to take the books rating down a little bit is because several of the pictures are actually of the interior of the Olympic and not the Titanic. That's one of the reasons why I'm giving the book 3 stars. That and I wish they would have talked more about what it was like to be a cook on the ship.
That's it for this reading update. If you like my content please subscribe to my blog. Also, if you have read this book leave your thoughts in the comments . I hope you all have a nice evening. I will talk to you all again later!
