Books by Marjory Szurko

Sweet Slices of History is a vividly told story of the creation of sweet dishes from historical recipes in today's setting. Oxford librarian Marjory Szurko, who has run a series of events inviting historians to sample her exotic cakes, was inspired by a small recipe book found in the recesses of a college library. She describes how she researched, baked, and shared recipes from a wealth of sources for vibrant social events, bringing together layers of Oxford society to the 21st century.
