And here I find food. One of my favorite topics. My forthcoming novel GLORY BE is set in Mississippi so there's Red Velvet cake, and a few other southern favs, but my editor did delete numerous references to pimento cheese, sadly.<br /><br />(RE: Scrivener giveaway.

And, yes, Dee I do that, too! Not that I wouldn't want to eat those things, just that I don't think I can handle it. I'm forever cramming dessert down their throats. Probably need to take Matthew's suggestion and start editing. <br /><br />I haven't read the Redwall series (gasp, I know!), but I did get the Harry Potter cookbook.

I had fun making plum dumplings for Wolf Storm, because I wanted to use a reference to some authentic food from Eastern Europe, and it was a good project to try to make them (kids approved).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-42681292891369961692011-06-24T19:19:20.867-05:002011-06-24T19:19:20.867-05:00Ohhh, what a good point!

It did lead to a Redwall cookbook though, so I thing maybe Brian Jacques was on to something! I think it's a matter of the reader's taste, no pun intended! I swear! ;)Hilary Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18199287020561210673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-3477361400404910222011-06-24T10:10:12.851-05:002011-06-24T10:10:12.851-05:00Tere - Yes!

When I was young, reading about teatime always made me jealous - I thought it was just an afternoon snack where you could have cake and cookies - ha! I could see how a New Orleans setting would have plenty of mouth-watering food.<br /><br />Matthew - Ha! Definitely not trying to make you second guess your edits...yeah, ten meals could be overkill...but of course now I'm curious as to what was in them!Marissa Burthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079821721448782710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-49036845370983464942011-06-24T09:47:09.675-05:002011-06-24T09:47:09.675-05:00It's funny that you mention this because I jus...It's funny that you mention this because I just cut out several descriptions of meals in my current revisions. Not that you're point isn't a good one, I'm just too long winded and always have to cut.<br /><br />Plus describing more than ten meals in a single novel is probably a bit much.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-28213988895203808932011-06-24T09:43:05.999-05:002011-06-24T09:43:05.999-05:00Yes!

I love it when books include food descriptions that make my mouth water.<br /><br />Fun post!Tere Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13562750950130316280noreply@blogger.com
