Prohibition Plates
The year was 1922, and the nation was during a great social experiment. Prohibition had just taken effect, making the production and sale of alcohol illegal. But as often happens when things are forbidden, people found ways to get around the law. Speakeasies sprang up all over the country, secret clubs where one could imbibe in secret, often in the company of glamorous flappers and dapper gents.
It was a time of excess and indulgence, of wild parties and flashy fashion. And at the center of it all was Jay Gatsby, the mysterious and enigmatic host of the most extravagant parties on Long Island. Gatsby's mansion was a symbol of the excess of the time, with its lavish gardens, sparkling fountains, and endless supply of champagne.
But it wasn't just the drinks that made Gatsby's parties legendary. The food was equally impressive, with elaborate spreads of hors d'oeuvres, entrees, and desserts that tantalized the taste buds of his guests. And it wasn't just Gatsby who knew how to throw a party. Tom and Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker, and Myrtle Wilson all had their own signature dishes that they brought to the table.
Now, almost a century later, we invite you to step back in time to the Roaring Twenties and experience the flavors and fashions of the era. In "Prohibition Plates: A Great Gatsby Cookbook," we've compiled a collection of recipes inspired by the characters and settings of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel. From Daisy's delicate canapes to Tom's hearty meat dishes, from Gatsby's mysterious cocktails to Myrtle's decadent desserts, there's something for every taste in this book.
So put on your flapper dress or your wingtips, mix up a cocktail, and get ready to dine like it's 1922. It's time to indulge in the excess and extravagance of the Jazz Age, and "Prohibition Plates: A Great Gatsby Cookbook" is your guide to the ultimate party.
