Recipes from Fiction!

I don’t know about you, but I really love food and sometimes the books I read mention things that taste so mouthwateringly delicious that I wish the author would include the recipe!

I’ve included three recipes, all from books! Keep scrolling to find the recipes and also a bit about the books they’re found in.

Never let anyone or anything rob you of your hope. Hope reigns eternal, you need only turn towards it. ♥

Many of you who do love this world will probably laugh at my limited knowledge but I’m counting on you to help give me some recommendations because I’d love to read more! Continue reading
