Ms Emrys, Are Salt Cakes based on a real recipe? Does one exist? Reading the Innsmouth Legacy series has be really wanting to bake some.

The "Cooking the Books" podcast gave me the excuse to develop the recipe--here it is:

Where by "develop the recipe" I mean that I described the thing I was imagining to my householdmate Nora (a considerably more skilled baker), and she kept revising until it tasted right. There's a "water" version and an "air" version depending on how salty you want your saltcakes, and they keep fresh for weeks, suggesting that they were probably originally created for sea voyages. There's a further link at the podcast with recipes for holiday fish stew and fried apples and potatoes as well.

I can't find the answer anywhere so I'll just have to ask here - Will the Innsmouth Legacy be a trilogy? Do you have a set number of books planned/ in mind?

Ruthanna Emrys:
Dear Ms. Emrys, What? No question? I don't have a question, per se, but I just wanted to express my deep admiration for "Winter Tide", which was just a wonderful, evocative book, and a more-than-worthy followup to Lovecraft. Well done! I look forward to reading more of your work! Be well, Jeremy Brett, jwbrett@library.tamu.edu
