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 plenty of BLTs in my lifetime, but this is my first ever Fried Green Tomato BLT.
And lemme tell ya: I'm a convert. This book-inspired recipe for Surviving Savannah is a Southern lunch staple.
Although much of this novel is historical fiction, there's a present-day timeline in which I could see main character Everly sitting down to a fried green tomato BLT and a glass of lemonade after rustling around in a dusty, old attic for...
My herby, tangy, and refreshing Chilled Seafood Salad is the perfect dish for a light summer meal. I don't know about you, but once June rolls around, all I can think about is having an icy glass of lemonade, reading lots of books instead of working, and wishing I lived by the beach instead of in the mountains. And this year, after my adventures in Charleston where I ate ALL THE SEAFOOD, I just wasn't ready to let go of that shellfish state of...
You guys, I am SO EXCITED to be sharing one of my favorite recipes with you today: Quick Chickpea Curry! Who else loves a good hot lunch? (Did anyone else read the words "hot lunch" and have a flashback to lining up in their elementary school cafeteria? You are my people.) I'm not a fan of raw or chilly foods, so if given the choice, I prefer my lunchtime meals to be piping hot. Now that I’m working remotely on a permanent basis – which...
Hello, please meet my new best friend: Creamy Tomato Pasta. Because carbs are our friends, right? (If you disagree, please unsubscribe from this blog. #Kiddingnotkidding... ) We all know that I love carbs. If I could eat pasta every day for the rest of my life without gaining 5,742 pounds, I would totally do it. And Creamy Tomato Pasta would make a weekly appearance on my dinner table. Okay, maybe twice a week since this recipe could feed an...
I can't believe I've just tried Chicken Saltimbocca for the very first time. Much like with Bara Brith, this is another moment when I can't believe I've lived this long (in Northern New Jersey, no less, with Italian genes) without ever tasting this classic Italian dish. Sure, I’ve seen saltimbocca on menus before; it's pretty much a staple for Italian restaurants. But, it's never been a dish I wanted to eat. I think I shied away from it...
Parmesan Broccoli Soup is the perfect dish to usher you out of the depths of winter and lead you into spring. In The Plot, there’s a green soup that wife Anna makes for main character Jacob when he’s feeling down and out. After this family-favorite meal came up few times in the novel, I was like, Okay, a “green soup” NEEDS to be the book-inspired recipe for this story. Thankfully, I've been making Parmesan Broccoli Soup for years. And,...
Sunday Night Chicken Dinner, coming in hot! We’re talking pan-seared chicken smothered in a creamy tomato sauce and served over pasta. It’s perfect for a chilly February night with the snow falling outside and the wind howling at your door. In Friends and Strangers, main characters Elisabeth and Sam quickly move beyond their employer-employee relationship and develop an intense friendship, with Sam regularly going over to Elisabeth’s house...
It’s hard to believe that these Sally Lunn Buns came out of my kitchen. But, they did, and they're freaking perfect. In case you don't remember, I suck making yeasted bread. Like, really suck at it. I mean, I've done it, with mixed results. There was the Fig and Pepper Bread, which turned out surprisingly great, and then the Cinnamon Rolls-turned-Cinnamon Cake, which, while delicious, obviously didn't go quite as intended. There are a few...
Grand-Mere’s Friday Night Chicken is truth in advertising here, people. Or, truth in blogging, I guess. What you see is what you get. And what I cooked. Full warning: I took a lot of liberties with my book-inspired recipe for The Gown. The original recipe for Grand-Mere’s Friday Night Chicken is included at the end of the novel, and my version is based on that. I kept the flavor profiles the same, but I swapped out ingredients I didn’t...
