Their Last Suppers is a recipe book with a difference. It tells the reader how to prepare, cook and serve a variety of dishes that have one thing in common, they were the last meals eaten by famous personalities throughout history, from Cleopatra and Alexander the Great, to John F Kennedy and Diana Princess of Wales. Not just about their last meals, this book gives lots more detail about their favourite foods and idiosyncratic tastes. As well as detailing the ingredients and methods for making the various meals, the author serves up a potted biography of each of his subjects on the side, helping to place the various foods and drinks in their cultural and historical contexts, and painting some colourful portraits of well-known characters. The narrative is concise, informative, interesting and easy to read. The recipes are truly eclectic and range from the bizarre and eccentric to the simply sublime.
