ETWYRT: Amie Gibbons
This time, she’s back with a new book and a Southern feast! Amie’s newest is out, and she came asking me if I’d do Pulled Pork, biscuits, mashed potatoes, and green beans to go along with the Southern flavor of her story. The First Reader heard about this and ‘yes, please, do it soon?’…

99 Ways to Cook an Egg
Inspired by ChefK’s guest post. This ought to get you started, but you could literally cook your way around the world with eggs, a dish every day of the year, and never repeat the exact same ingredients. Eggs are near infinite in their ability to bind, blend, coat, and hold flavors. Sweet, savory, they…

Eat This While You Read That: Brena Bock
I’m very pleased to be able to write this post. Since this post is celebrating Brena’s first two publications, near simultaneously, it’s appropriate to do it with a double-header. I don’t think I’ve done this before, so buckle up, this is a long post! But I don’t think you’ll be sorry. First, there’s the…

Eat This While You Read That: Joe Monson
Joe assigned me a delightful task, with this book and meal. He didn’t send me a recipe, he suggested that I create an Adventurer’s Stew. You couldn’t possibly make a recipe for that. When you are out on a quest with your dragon… I should explain. Joe’s book to read with this meal is…

Shakshuka
I’m doing my own version of this recipe because frankly, it is super annoying to scroll for days through a food blog’s blather and ads and god-forbid-auto-playing videos… So here it is (printable version below the tutorial version). Preheat your oven to 375F 2-3 cubanelle peppers, seeded and diced. (I also threw in a…

Eat This While You Read That: Lawdog
This one is a little different. Unlike most of my posts, there isn’t an ebook for quick and handy reading. There is, however, audiobooks, and if you are patient and plan ahead, paper. It’s worth it. Lawdog’s books are trenchant observations on the human condition… but most of all, they are laugh-out-loud fall out…

Eat This While You Read That: Jerry Boyd
I asked Jerry Boyd to take part in this series because even though I have not (yet! I promise I will, Jerry!) read any of this series, they look like tons of fun. And the First Reader read all of them. It was a little funny – I manage the Kindle library, and I’d…

Eat This While You Read That: Christopher Woods
Chris is an awesome human being, second only to his lovely wife (sorry, Chris!) so I was very happy that he was willing to let me do a recipe for one of his books. I was downright giddy when he picked one of my favorite meals as his choice. The only problem was that the…

Eat This While You Read That – Sam Schall
Sam’s Smoked Chicken. Sometimes I wonder about that woman’s sense of humor. I mean, the books are collectively the Honor and Duty series. But the first one is Vengeance from Ashes and she asks me to smoke some chicken. I snorted, and then I got to thinking. Smoked chicken isn’t so much a recipe as…

Eat This While You Read That: Alma Boykin
I’ve been reading more, recently, and one of the series I have been catching up on is the Familiar Tales by Alma Boykin. It’s a lovely set of stories, that gradually lengthens from short interconnected tales of mages and their animal partners into novels centered more around one or two specific characters. I’ve been…
