Title page of a Thai funeral book

... that famous chefs have based their menus on recipes found in Thai funeral books (example pictured)? Source: "This can be amply illustrated by the menus of Michelin-starred Thai restaurants such as Nahm, Paste, and Bo.lan, whose menus are rooted in the funeral cookbooks of noble families and whose chefs are celebrities in their own right."[1]
- ALT1:... that famous chefs have based their menus on recipes found in cremation volumes?

Reviewed: Jo Walker-Meador
Comment: Alt1 is pretty much the same hook; I'm offering it as a more punchy, though somewhat Easter-eggy, version. (It might not be immediately apparent to the reader what the subject name refers to, which may be good or bad for DYK depending on your view.) If it's to go in the top slot with the picture, it should be with Alt0.

Date, length and hooks all OK, I'll leave it to the promoter to decide. QPQ done , no close paraphrasing. Picture licence fine. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:55, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
