Requirements: .PDF reader, 17.6MB
Overview: In John Kennedy Toole’s iconic novel A Confederacy of Dunces, Ignatius J. Reilly is never short of opinions about food or far away from his next bite. Whether calling canned food a perversion or taking a break from his literary ambitions with an occasional cheese dip, this lover of Lucky Dogs, café au lait and wine cakes navigates 1960s New Orleans focused on gastronomical pursuits.
For the novel’s millions of fans, Cynthia LeJeune Nobles’ A Confederacy of Dunces Cookbook offers recipes inspired by the delightfully commonplace and always delicious fare of Ignatius and his cohorts. Through an informative narrative and almost 200 recipes, Nobles explores the intersection of food, history and culture found in the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, opening up a new avenue into New Orleans’s rich culinary traditions.
Dishes inspired by Ignatius’ favorites, macaroons and toothsome steak, as well as recipes based on supporting characters, complement a wealth of fascinating detail about the epicurean side of the novel’s memorable settings. A guide to the D.H. Holmes Department Store’s legendary Chicken Salad, the likely offerings of the fictitious German’s Bakery and an in-depth interview with the general manager of Lucky Dogs round out this delightful cookbook.
A lighthearted yet impeccably researched look at the food of the 1960s, A Confederacy of Dunces Cookbook reaffirms the singularity and timelessness of both New Orleans cuisine and Toole’s comic tour de force.
