*The Great Gatsby: The Complete Novel with 15 Recipes Inspired by the Roaring ’20s* by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a brilliant twist on a classic favorite. The story is the same tale that we all know and love, but what makes this version stand out are the fun and unique extras. The book features charming art deco illustrations throughout, marking separate chapters in a visually striking way. Sections where food is mentioned in the text are underlined, and at the end of the book, you’ll find the corresponding recipes.
The recipe section is full of playful, full-color illustrations that complement the dishes perfectly. From appetizers to main dishes, desserts, and several cocktails, the recipes embody the high-class, glamorous vibe of the Hamptons in the Roaring ’20s. This addition is such a creative touch, especially for those who enjoy both classic literature and entertaining. I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates a good classic and enjoys hosting or entertaining. I’m already planning to use this as a resource for a house party! I would love to see more versions like this for other literary classics, and I’m begging the publisher to make it happen. I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley and Chronicle Books.

This was an interesting new addition of a classic. I remember reading The Great Gatsby in school so it was fun to revisit the story. I liked the recipes that were added at the end. I almost would've liked them incorporated throughout the book itself.

This is such a creative edition to such a classic of a book! I’m a huge fan of The Great Gatsby and know the story by heart. To add the recipe names throughout the chapters is so unique and having all the recipes at the end makes for such a great way to host a book club or themed party. The beautiful colors used throughout the book as well, so well done! Looking forward to trying out the recipes soon!
