Bite Notes

  • Grab a bag of Combos to munch while reading Bellweather Rhapsody, or make your own with help from the book Classic Snacks Made from Scratch by Casey Barber. Available on hoopladigital.com
  • Pair Cold Comfort Farm with a cup of English breakfast tea and a piece of toasted, crusty bread slathered in apricot jam. You’ll feel as practical and cheerful as Flora Poste.
  • Roast up some parsnips and sweet potatoes and dress with a caper vinaigrette from Yotam Ottolenghi’s Plenty to munch on while reading about Morrigan Crow’s last meal before being whisked away to Nevermoor.
  • Mix up a Kentucky Corpse Reviver at home to get in the mood to read about Maggie O’Farrell’s near death experiences.
  • Georgie and her little sister order their fair share of delivery pizzas in Landline—order one yourself and settle in with this cozy marriage romance.
