Fiction To Sink Your Teeth Into, a feature from author and professional chef Rohan O’Duill!
After moving from Canton to London, Robin discovers the culinary delight of Mrs Pipers’ Scones (or Bannocks as she prefers to call them).
Obviously, one of the major plot points in the book is whether or not you like sultanas in your scones. While Robin’s benefactor, Professor Lovell, is a big fan of the sultana scone, Robin prefers them plain. Seeing that my wife agrees with Robin, plain scones is what I have made. But feel free to add a handful of sultanas if you are that way inclined.

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.

What better way to impress the werewolf love interest in your life than with a dog’s dinner?
Not a lot of people know that tinned dog food is a cheap and plentiful source of protein and prepared in the right way makes a delicious dinner for everyone.
Whimsical and dolorous, ironic and absurd, this slippery assortment of stories and fragments masks existential dysphoria with deceptive simplicity and hangdog comedy—all the while asking you to read what is not there, what is also there, what is parabolic.
