Bite Notes

• Accompany the uncomfortable juxtaposition of creativity & anxiety in Imaginary Friend with a dessert which satisfyingly mixes sweet, tart, and savory flavors: a plum-thyme sundae available in The Forest Feast: Simple Vegetarian Recipes from My Cabin in the Woods.
• Enjoy a refreshing Clowns Cup after a long, hot night of running from killer clowns.
• To take your bonfire from ordinary to extraordinary, check out The Campout Cookbookby Marnie Hanel and Jen Stevenson. It offers a dozen twists on hotdogs and s'mores.
• In her Guardian column Novel Recipes, Kate Young offers two recipes inspired by I Capture the Castle: Bread, Butter, and Honey and Cassandra's Midsummer Cake. For more recipes inspired by books, check out Kate Young's The Little Library Year, available on Hoopla.
