"Babette's Feast" is Karen Blixen's most famous work and was later adapted into an Oscar-winning film directed by Gabriel Axel. When Parisienne Master Chef Babette is exiled to a puritanical community in remote Norway, she spends her lottery winnings on one meal to enchant her neighbours and awaken their senses.
Signe Wulff delves into the inspiration behind Babette's restaurant in Paris. She examines the menu, shows how Blixen drew from her own memories, her father's writing, and the cultural history of gastronomy to weave a tale that has captured the imaginations of so many.
The book includes recipes for Babette's legendary four-course menu so readers can cook one of literature's most famous meals at home.
