    Eat This While You Read That: Chris Nuttall

    Chris is a bright star in the Indie scene, with dozens of novels released in the few years since his writing career began. When I asked Chris if he’d like to take part, and assured him that all I needed was the name of a dish, I didn’t want him to take time from his…

    No Smoker? No Problem!

    I’ve been very happy to have a grill in my life again. But I do miss smoking my meats… and a smoker isn’t an option, we just don’t have room. That, and if we move soon as we plan to, I don’t want to deal with any more large items than I have to. The…

    Eat This While You Read That: Sabrina Chase

    When I asked Sabrina Chase for a dish to cook and a book, she had an instant answer. It seems that there is a recurring mention of cornbread in her book, The Scent of Metal. Perfect! And it’s such a versatile side-dish, too. We eat it often here, although our recipe is a bit different.…

    Dwarven Bread

    Guest post by Richard Evans First get some Diastatic Malt Powder why? better rise, browner crust, better texture especially on sweet breads or dark breads. I use 1 tsp per 3 cups…also useful in waffle batter mixes you buy. Just add a bit to the dry ingredients and mix normally… let that activate in the…

    ETWYRT: William Lehman

    Today I’m doing something a little different for me. You see, I know William’s work best from the Otherwhere Gazette. I know he has a novel, Harvest of Evil, and it looks like a fun one. But I haven’t read it yet. I think I can risk recommending it, because the man writes non-fiction with…

    ETWYRT: Stephen Simmons

    As I am working my way through this blog series, I am tapping authors of all sorts for recipes and dishes. There will be traditionally published best-sellers, at least one who is better known for graphic art than prose, an editor, and independent authors. In some ways this was conceived as a way to help…

  • Leftovers

    Leftovers

    Ah, the bane of every mother’s life: leftovers. Or as the First Reader calls them, Leftinders. As in, left in ‘der refrigerator. Left in there until they become interesting fungal experiments, or grow little legs like the Luggage and scuttle away when the light comes on.  This doesn’t have to be the way it always…

    ETWYRT: Kate Paulk

    Mirror-posted at the Otherwhere Gazette: Index page for the Eat This While You Read That! recipes is here. If there’s one thing I am sure Kate Paulk is tired of hearing, it is: ‘When is the next con book coming out?’  So I won’t say it. I’ll just look hard in her direction and think…

    ETWYRT: Mackey Chandler

    Mirror-posted from The Otherwhere Gazette I’ve had the pleasure over the last couple of years of reading Mac Chandler’s two series, and watching him grow by leaps and bounds as an author. While April, his debut novel, was a very strong story with a terrific female lead who… well, I suggest you read it. It…

  • Chasing the Perfect Meal

    Chasing the Perfect Meal

    Written by Sanford Begley    We had lunch at a hole in the wall we love yesterday, Chateaux Beirut in West Chester, Ohio. A place that looks like it belongs in a bad movie from the 50s about delinquents. The food however, is superb. It’s a Lebanese family restaurant. Papa runs the family businesses, including a…

    Unnatural Foods

    This isn’t, really, a food blog. If I seem to dwell overmuch on the subject, it is perhaps because food is very important to life. Food is the fuel our bodies burn to do our daily activities, which we must do, to earn more food. Is it any surprise that food is a pivotal pillar…

    ETWYRT: John Ringo

    Mirror-posted from the Otherwhere Gazette:  It’s difficult to pick out just one John Ringo book to recommend with this recipe. I’ve been reading his books for as long as I’ve been a Baen Barfly, and that’s coming up on fifteen years now. Given the nature of the dish itself, I have to say that reading…
