Food in Books

 

 

In the work in progress (the sequel to The Bull Rider’s Brother), my main character Barb is making cupcakes today as I write these pages.  Not open a cake mix, add water, cupcakes, but marbled chocolate devil’s food  from scratch  cup cakes.  With chocolate fudge frosting and sealed with a Hersey’s Kiss.

She’s also made banana bread in this same book.

In The Bull Rider’s Brother, Lizzie Hudson, my heroine makes her own bread and does a mean huckleberry muffin. (I’ll be posting this recipe over at Chicks in the Kitchen as part of my June Blog Tour for BRB.)

And while listening to Hot Rocks by Nora Roberts this week while driving to the day job, I found myself fascinated with the heroine’s recipe for chicken.

Since I’m obsessing with grits lately in my real kitchen, you can bet my next heroine will be cooking up some for her new honey.

I think I’m sensing a pattern.  I like reading and writing about food.

So what about you?  Any recipe’s you’ve stolen from your favorite fictional character?
