Rebecca and the Gothic Pleasure of Ravioli in Tomato-Chicken-Cream Sauce

We're entering the holy season of Halloween, and what better way to kick off this eerie time of the year with a discussion of one of literature's great Gothic novels and its melodramatic themes of love, grief, obsession, and of course food! I also get to interview the wonderful Alessandra Pino, or Allie as she is known to her friends, the co-author of the marvelous illustrated book of recipes titled A Gothic Cookbook and we share our thoughts on the various foods mentioned in Rebecca, as well as a character analysis of the nameless heroine of the tale and we answer the great question - was Mrs. Danvers in love with Rebecca? 

You can learn more about Allie's work on her Instagram feed at: www.instagram.com/agothiccookbook @agothiccookbook or on Twitter at: www.twitter.com/foodforflo @foodforflo, and you can learn more about her cookbook at: unbound.com/books/a-gothic-cookbook.
