Novel Food: Spring 2008 Edition
Hard to believe that we're already announcing this edition of the event, isn't? Rather gives one hope that we may indeed see Spring at some point.Simona (author of the blog Briciole) and I are running a quarterly event called Novel Food. Please join in! The idea is for you to make a dish inspired by a literary work.
If you're not familiar with this event, you can check out the posts about previous editions: my half of the roundups on the fall and winter editions, and Simona's half of the roundups for the fall and winter editions. There are lots of delicious dishes in those roundup posts, and it's so interesting to read about their connection to various works of fiction.
Here are the guidelines for the event:
1. Prepare a dish of your choosing that has a connection to a published literary work (novel, novella, short story, memoir).
2. Post it on your blog by Saturday March 22, 2008, 9 am (Pacific Time).
3. Send an e-mail either to me (webrina AT gmail DOT com) or Simona (simosite AT mac DOT com) and include your name, blog name and blog address, and a permanent link to your post.
Non-English submissions are welcomed. If possible, please include an introduction in English.
Simona and I will do a roundup soon after the deadline: it will be our special way of welcoming the spring/fall season (depending on which hemisphere you live in).
Looking forward to seeing your submissions!

Yes, Peter, thanks.
I think this is fabulous! I do this already, movies, books etc. on my personal blog and the one I write for Disney and it's so much fun.
If there's food in there, I find it!
It's almost unfair for me to enter this time, I'm currently reading Chasing Cezanne and My Life in France.
I sent you my novel food!!! I hope you like it.. bjs dani
Anne, I really hope you do enter! I've read My Life, but not Cezanne. I should check that one out. I read a couple of his books years and years ago.
Danielle: Thank you so much for your submission, it's delicious.
I have to substitute some ingredients in the recipe that I have chosen from the novel I have read for this event. Is that permissible? Thanks
I would not want to subject anyone to my cooking, but perhaps someone might want to do something with the following, from page 87 of The Paper Moon by Andrea Camilleri:
"Back in the house, he opened the refrigerator. Adelina must have come down with an acute form of vegetarianism. Caponata and a sublime pasticcio of artichokes and spinach."

Lynnylu, that sounds fine; thanks for taking part, can't wait to see what it is!
Peter, I may just take you up on that challenge! I've been back and forth about what to make, and was actually thinking about doing another dish from a Camilleri book, so the suggestion is welcomed. Thanks.
Just wanted to make sure you received my entry, since I haven't heard back :-)
(It's the mushroom risotto.)
Judith, I didn't get an email from you about your entry—possibly you sent it to Simona? Although she usually forwards ones she gets to me . . . not sure what happened, but if you can send me the link: webrina at gmail dot com, that would be great. So glad you're taking part!
Just sent in my entry, this was fun!
