Eat This While You Read That: Chris Smith
Chris Smith has a sick, evil, twisted sense of humor. I do like that in a person. Really! But he made me laugh out loud when he suggested the dish for this, and I’m sure that was his intention all along. Oh, and because it’s delicious. But mostly, I’m sure it was the punniness of…

Eat This While You Read That: Cal Primer
Most of the time when I contact an author, it’s about 4-6 weeks before their dish appears here. I try not to rush, I know what it’s like between writing and life and everything. I’d pinged Cal a while back, asking if she’d like to take part, and she was interested… and then I turned…

Eat This while you Read That: Jody Lynn Nye
Jody Lynn Nye handed me a challenge for her ETWYRT. Most often, an author suggests their favorite meal, either to eat or prepare. Others choose a meal that reflects their heritage, like Sarah Hoyt’s Bolinhos de Bacalhau, and Peter Grant’s Koeksusters. Jody suggested a meal from one of her books. Since she writes science fiction (and…

Sunday Morning Bread Pudding
This takes a while to bake – perfect for a morning when you don’t have to run right out the door for work or school. It could be used as dessert, too, although I’d up the amount of sugar or drizzle caramel sauce over it if I were going to serve it that way! I…

Eat This While You Read That: Martin Shoemaker
When I asked Martin Shoemaker, who I know best for hard science fiction stories, for a dish and a title for ETWYRT, he surprised me. The story he recommended was one that he’d written this dish into… and it’s about voudon, and a grandfather, and a sweet potato pudding. Ok, the pudding isn’t really a…

Restoring Cast Iron
I’m pleased to present a guest post from Chris Maddox. We were both commenting on a thread about reseasoning cast iron, and he mentioned restoration. I happily begged for a guest post and he obliged. Cast iron is a topic I’ve covered before, and I’m happy to get back to it. I grew up cooking…

Eat This While You Read That: Kevin J Anderson
Not only is Kevin J Anderson one of the giants in the SF writing world, but his publishing house, Wordfire, is a bright new light in the field. When I asked him for a dish and a title, he was gracious enough to send it along, and I was delighted to see what was in…

Review: Company Daughter
I picked up Company Daughter, in spite of the cover, because I like to cook. Since you don’t see a lot of emphasis on cooking in science fiction, I was curious how this book would incorporate that element into the tale. It languished in my TBR pile for a long time, and I finally picked…

Eat This While You Read That: Daniel Allen Butler
I think I surprised Daniel when I asked him to take part in this series. He doesn’t write fiction. But this isn’t about fiction, it’s about books we love to read, and good food. Daniel Allen Butler is a maritime and military historian, and he writes darn good books. I suspect that many of my…

Eat This While you Read That: Kacey Ezell
I’m not sure where to start with Kacey Ezell. For one thing, I want to fangirl here, but I don’t want to embarrass her, either. It’s not for her writing – although that’s very good, and you’ll enjoy it – it’s for what she’s done. I knew about her for years before I got to…

Eat This While You Read That: Tedd Roberts
In with the traditional novel-length writers, I’ve sprinkled a few folks who are more difficult to stuff into a pigeonhole. This man is certainly not a person you can define with a single role. Or sentence. Renowned scientist, science fiction fan, and author of short stories and numerous science articles related to science fiction topics,…

Caramel Apple Cheesecake
This isn’t so much a recipe as it is an extrapolation of a recipe. Cheesecake is a very flexible dessert, lending itself very well to additions of other flavors, while being perfect delicious on it’s own. I blogged the cheesecake filling earlier this year, so start there… Once you have the crust started – and…
