In Competition No. 2743 you were invited to submit a recipe as it might have been written by an author of your choice.
Kafka’s Soup, a complete history of world literature in 14 recipes by Mark Crick gave me the idea for this challenge. It contains such gastronomic delights as Cheese on Toast à la Harold Pinter and Fenkata à la Homer and is a masterclass in literary impersonation.
You gave Mr Crick a run for his money. This was another cracking entry and competition was stiff for the top spots. Commendations to unlucky losers Alannah Blake, Frank Osen and W.J. Webster. The winners are printed below and are rewarded with £25 each. Mike Morrison pockets the bonus fiver.
This warming winter fare inexorably mates penury with privilege, bringing together the yin of male coarseness and the yang of feminine finesse.
