Lit-Tacular Round-up!


Our 27th spectacular ‘Tacular featured dishes from, or inspired by, literature. We enjoyed a delicious array of bookish delights. So, what’d we eat?
·        Ayako and James kicked things off with some wee mini quiches, inspired by Julie & Julia
·        From Game of Thrones, Karina and Christian ladled out a delicious chestnut soup topped with crispy sage and pancetta
·        Mei and Jeremy roasted up a Watership Down-inspired rabbit with carrots and, I think, chimichurri sauce (yes, a bit of a ‘cheat’ since it wasn’t technically a dish from a book…but it was yummy, so we won’t dole out any penalties this time :D)
·        I stewed up a lamb, prune, and apricot stew from The Hunger Games, served on top of Israeli couscous…fit for the residents of the Capitol!
·        Kate and Ian baked up a Thoreau-inspired hazelnut raisin bread…we even got to see the kneading action, in action!
·        Ayako baked up yummy Madeleines, from Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past
·        And…Jenn and Daniel brought a refreshing key lime pie, from Nora Ephron’s Heartburn
Marco, Laura, Sara, and Dan…we missed you!
As always, click on the 'Tacular Memories link on our homepage to see the photos.
The next ‘Tacular will be Balltacular, hosted by the McMompsons on Saturday, March 28th. Bring us your round and roly-poly dishes!

  1. It wasn't a cheat -- Watership Down is about rabbits! And the rabbit we brought was Hazel, one of the main characters!

    Hmph. Some people don't understand or appreciate creativity.
