Bite Notes
- Warm up like Ileth in Novice Dragoneer with the hearty Roasted Corn and Chorizo Chowder from The London Cookbook by Aleksandra Crapanzano.
- Make Badam Burfi, a quick sweet treat like Anjali’s mom did to celebrate Diwali, using this recipe from Cook with Manali.
-
Enjoy The Tea Dragon Society with a non-traditional approach to a London Fog—which is typically made with Earl Grey tea, steamed milk, vanilla, and sweetener. For our twist, swap the Earl Grey with your favorite tea dragon’s variety.
- Bittersweet hot cocoa is the perfect sip for the dark, yet nuanced story of Three Dark Crowns.
-
As Baba Yaga might say in Egg & Spoon, marinate yourself from the inside with this Vegetarian Red Borscht.
- Pair Other Words for Home with any of the delicious-sounding Syrian recipes in Feast: Food of the Islamic World. Or fry some cauliflower like Jude’s mother.
