Tartlets, I’m bringing you recipe 1 of 2 today for Forgotten Sisters: Baked Sea Scallops.
You’ll see in the photos below that they’re served with Lemon Spinach Basmati Rice, and the recipe for that dish will post later this week.
Why are Baked Sea Scallops the book-inspired recipe for Forgotten Sisters?
So much in Forgotten Sisters revolves around water and the sea. The sisters in the book are obsessed with The Little Mermaid, which...
If you're looking for an easy-to-make meal that will impress your guests, Baked Flounder with Shrimp Stuffing needs to be on your holiday menu this year.
Why is Baked Flounder with Shrimp Stuffing the book-inspired recipe for Home for Christmas? Main character Nell in Home for Christmas wants to create the perfect Christmas for her daughters, which means there’s no shortage of delicious meals and decadent desserts in the story. My...
I'm so excited to share my recipe for Tex-Mex Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas with you today, Tartlets.
If you've come to my house for a Super Bowl party over the past decade, then there's a good chance you've tried this dish. If not, well, today's your lucky day to try these enchiladas for yourself.
At your own home, just to be clear. I'm not cooking for everybody.

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...
It's your lucky week, Tartlets. Since Old Country was such a fantastic book, I've decided that it deserves two book-inspired recipes.
Two Recipes. It's like the new Five Stars of ratings.
First up is the main dish: Grilled Rosemary Balsamic Steaks. The recipe for the side dish you see in the photos is Simple Tomato, Corn, and Torn Basil Salad.

Ground Beef and Vegetable Stir-Fry is your go-to recipe for a quick weeknight dinner. There’s a lot of Chinese take-out happening in The Hollow Places, which made my horror-loving heart very happy. One of my favorite things to do is order Chinese take-out for dinner and settle down with a good movie or TV show.
Sadly, I don't live in an area where I can get good Chinese. That means I end up trying to make Asian-inspired dishes at home, and...
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...
I've had salmon a lot of different ways, but this Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce is quickly becoming my favorite. You guys, we have Mr Tart to thank for this book-inspired recipe.
When I was trying to think up what to pair with The Lost Village, I knew I wanted something with a Nordic flare – but not too Nordic. I wasn’t about to go all lutefisk or pickled herring on you.
My goal is to get more new readers for the blog, not drive away the...
