Move over, Julia Child. There's a new coq au vin recipe in the house.
And it's way easier to make than you think.
Why is coq au vin the book-inspired recipe for Greenwich Park? There’s a lot of drinking in Greenwich Park, especially when it comes to main character Rachel. This pregnant woman is often found with a bottle in her hand, much to the alarm of those around her. Because, well, PREGNANT.
(The fact that Rachel's totally okay...
I seem to equate mac and cheese with being single.
Which is ridiculous, because Mr Tart and I eat it on the regular. However, mac and cheese is also one of those meals I whip up whenever I'm eating alone and don't want to spend a lot of time cooking a dinner for one.
Super Simple Mac and Cheese seemed like the perfect book-inspired recipe for Ghosts. Main character Nina cooks on her own more often than not, and when you've had a long day of...
If you're looking for fall comfort food, look no further than this recipe for Chicken Pot Pie.
It's a dish that makes you feel warm and cozy and like everything’s going to be all right. Which is the exact opposite of how you feel after reading The Drowning Kind.
That book is creepyAF, which is why I chose Chicken Pot Pie as its book-inspired recipe. My thought process is: if you need to feel better, turn to food.
(That’s not medical advice....
I can't tell you why Mushroom Risotto is the book-inspired recipe for Ghoster.
That's because the inspiration for this dish comes at the very end of the story.
What I can tell you is that this Mushroom Risotto is my new make-at-home culinary obsession. (Much to my mushroom-hating husband's dismay.) Mushroom Risotto is one of my favorite meals, but I rarely get the opportunity to eat it.
A lot of restaurants offer it on menus, but I'll be...
Don't run away! I know this looks like a salad. Let me reassure you that you're looking at a big ol' honkin' plate of Loaded Turkey Nachos. That's right: there's meat under there. (That's what he said.) Tartlets, you don't even know how difficult it was choosing my book-inspired recipe for Party of Two. This rom-com doubles down on the food talk; cakes abound, as do burgers and fries, take-out food, pizza and beer. There's even a drink served...
Ooey, gooey, cheesy goodness is coming your way in the form of One Pot Cheeseburger Pasta. I know we’re nearing the end of comfort food season, but after an especially trying 13 months, I think we’re allowed a little over-indulgence, don’t you? One Pot Cheeseburger Pasta is the exact warm, comforting, culinary hug you need in your life. Imagine my surprise to find the book-inspired recipe for Wow, No Thank You already in the book! If...
There’s nothing like Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings to warm you up on a cold winter night! Okay, that gratuitously cozy-sounding first sentence was to coax you into reading the rest of this post after you glanced at the featured image. I’ll be the first to admit that these Chicken and Dumplings pics aren’t the prettiest examples of food photography to ever grace my blog. BUT! I guarantee you that this dish is one of the most delicious,...
Yes, I’m aware it's the wrong time of year for anything pumpkin-flavored, but bear with me as I introduce you to this Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal. I posted a photo of this breakfast on my IG a few weeks ago, and it was surprisingly well-received. So, it got me thinkin'... Many of my book-inspired recipe plans have been derailed because of what I can(‘t) get from the grocery store these days. But, as luck would have it,...
Hello, Tartlets! We interrupt our regularly scheduled book review and book-inspired recipe posts to bring you this specially curated list of Pantry Staples Recipes, designed to help you figure out what the heck to cook each day while you're spending 24/7 with those you love...with, um, rather limited resources. My grandmother always kept a well-stocked pantry and freezer in her basement. Whenever I would visit her, we would go downstairs and...
Choosing Cottage Pie as my book-inspired recipe for An Irish Country Cottage was practically a no-brainer. For years, I've called this dish "Shepherd's Pie," which I think is the name that most of us know it by. At some point, though, I learned that Shepherd's Pie is traditionally made with lamb – hence, the “shepherd” part. This is all fine and good, but I’m not a huge fan of lamb. I prefer the beef version of this dish, which is called...
