The Art of Living with Books
Welcome to the Reader’s Table
Fiction often simmers with sensory details—flavors, aromas, and meals that linger long after the last page. This is a collection of recipes inspired by books I’ve read—some imagined from scenes, others borrowed from beloved characters or settings, and many created or adapted as I cooked alongside my reading. Each dish brings a story to life, one bite at a time.
