Dine at the restaurant that offers "Curry No.3", a dish far beyond the borders of good taste. Relish the bitter-sweetness of blind pie, baked solely for revenge. And marvel at the love-leaf tree, whose fruit can rescue a flagging relationship.
'The Devil's Larder', another uniquely imaginative book from Jim Crace, is a cumulative novel in sixty-four parts, catering not only for our taste buds but also for our cultural, sexual and imaginative appetites. You might learn little to trust about food from these hilarious, delightful and subversive ingredients, but instead you will encounter a startling and touching patchwork portrait of a community where meals are served with lashings of passion and where recipes come spiced with unexpected challenges and hopes.
