Bite Notes
- In the duplicitous spirit of Can’t Stop Cursing You, savor the sweet, fireside smell of Yaki Imo while you and your friends suss out the traitor in your midst. Instructions for these Fire-Roasted Sweet Potatoes can be found in The Gaijin Cookbook by Ivan Orkin and Chris Ying.
- For a tasty treat with Where All Light Tends to Go, travel to the hills of North Carolina with this slow cooker Carolina-Style BBQ recipe.
- Pair The Dictionary of Lost Words with a pot of tea and Esme’s specialty, scone-like rock cakes packed with dried fruit.
