High tea paired with Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

/ Rachel / 1 Comment

Fiction To Sink Your Teeth Into is usually a feature from author and chef Rohan O’Duill, but this month, Rachel A. Rosen is hijacking it.

I was obsessed with Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass before I could even read, and paired with my love of baking shows, I have been dying to do a Mad Hatter Tea Party for ages. It’s complicated by the lack of cooperation from the small woodland creatures in my vicinity, plus the fact that I’m vegan. I made several recipes for this, with varying degrees, and I’ll share the most successful ones here.

Vegan Nanaimo bars paired with Query

Fiction To Sink Your Teeth Into, a feature from author and professional chef Rohan O’Duill! This month, hijacked by Rachel A. Rosen.

Nanaimo bars are a classic Canadian dessert, full of chocolate, coconut, and mint. In Zilla Novikov’s Query, they’re the perfect thing to bring along when you spring your love interest from jail after she’s been arrested at a protest. Typically, they’re made with eggs and dairy, but we’re all about saving the earth so I managed to find a great vegan recipe, which I adapted from Oh She Glows.
