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...
This book-inspired recipe for The Cloisters is an amalgamation of all my lunchtime favorites.
We're talking Chicken Caesar Wraps with hearty pieces of white meat chicken. We're talking Caesar Salads with creamy, dreamy dressing. We're talking cool and refreshing pasta salads.
What's a girl to do when she can't decide what to have for lunch?
You have it all with Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad.

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.

I’m gonna be honest with you, Tartlets: I’m not sure that these Savory Thyme and Caraway Biscuits turned out exactly like they’re supposed to. But, I thought they were really tasty. And Mr Tart thought they were really tasty.
So, I decided to bite the bullet (or biscuit) and give you these savory bundles as the book-inspired recipe for Hamnet.

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.

I've been making Black Bean Burgers for years now, and I didn't think I could love them any more.
Then, I put Peach Guacamole on them. **mindblown**
Prepare yourself, Tartlets, because you're never going to look at burgers the same way again.
WTF? Peaches in guacamole???
The first time I had fruity guacamole was at a Mexican restaurant called Toloache in midtown Manhattan. The guac contained pomegranate, not peach, but it blew my mind....
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....
