Pairing approximately 50 charming photographic re-creations of meals from classic and contemporary literature-all prepared, styled, and shot by the author-with relevant excerpts, this innovative gift book is sure to captivate legions of literature lovers, foodies, design junkies, and photo geeks.
In June 2012, graphic designer Dinah Fried posted five of her photographic and excerpt pairings to her website, dinahfried.com. Since that time, the images, which continue to attract many viewers daily, have received more than 200,000 hits and significant attention on Twitter and Tumblr, capturing a broad and varied audience worldwide. Rapidly gaining popularity, the photographs appeared in print and digital magazines and on hundreds of blogs, among them: The Huffington Post, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, The Today Show, Bon Appétit, Marie Claire, and more.
Featuring iconic book covers, illustrations, and atmospheric food shots, Fictitious Dishes presents 50 new pairings in an eye-catching format. To enhance the readers' experience, interstitial spreads throughout the book provide visual variety and cover culinary themes, including excerpts from additional works on topics ranging from "apple pie" to "chocolate," anecdotes about writers with appetites both healthy and spartan, writers' culinary predilections, fun facts about featured foods and their preparation in the context of the given era.
