Must you read F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" in order to appreciate these recipes? No, but if you have, you'll appreciate how each recipe relates to Fitzgerald's book. If you haven't read "Gatsby" but want to, be forewarned: this recipe book isn't just a collection of delicious fare; it is also one giant plot spoiler!
Is this a regional cookbook? No. Although "The Great Gatsby" was set in one small area of New York, Gatsby and many of his compatriots travelled all over the United States and the rest of the world. Expect to find local delights, international treats, and a selection of offerings that Gatsby may have served at his bi-weekly parties.

Will you need special ingredients? Sometimes, but not often. You'll probably already have most of the ingredients on hand for the local and regional recipes and even for many of the international dishes. Using this cookbook is meant to be enjoyable, not a "scavenger hunt" for obscure items.

Keep reading, and imagine yourself as part of Jay Gatsby's entourage, enjoying all manner of exotic and not-so-exotic cuisine. I promise it won't all go south for you (except for the occasional recipe) the way it did for Gatsby. (Well, I did tell you there would be spoilers!)
