Persimmon Jelly Tarts | The Dragon Prince

“Uhh, jelly tart?”

–Ezran, The Dragon Prince

          Yay! It's Ezran's birthday (March 19)! And you know that that kid is a fiend for jelly tarts, so to celebrate, I'm sharing the jelly tart recipe that I submitted for The Dragon Prince Recipe Zine late last year year.
          This recipe is made with persimmons, which we learn is what type the jelly filling is in season 1 episode 3 (thank you, Claudia), as Ezran leaves orange, persimmon jelly handprints on the huge picture frame that is actually a secret door (and then again on the stones in the secret tunnel). Oops, Ezran!

Fish Pie (Ver. 1) | The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

“A mainstay in any fisherman’s home, the crisp crust pairs well with the fishy flavor.”

–– Fish Pie, In-game description, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

          Featured in the beautiful fan art recipe zine, Hyrule: Taste of the Wild, available in PDF format on Shattered Earth's Etsy shop, here is my first version of the fish pie from Breath of the Wild! I made this back in early 2017, and am finally posting it (!!!). This version is a creamy pot-pie-type of filling with white fish, potato, and milk. Stay-tuned for version 2, which is a salmon en croute!

Grookey Smoothie Bowl | Pokémon: Sword & Shield

          Yay, Grookey! A cute, monkey-like grass-type pokémon–and one of the three starters for the new Galar region in the upcoming Pokémon: Sword and Shield (late 2019)! Grookey seems like such a sweetie-pie, full of energy and curiosity. :) I really love the vibrant green color, which translates well to a smoothie.

Ravani Syrup Cake | Bloom

"Ta-da!"

"Oooooh. What's this?"

"It's called Ravani. I learned how to make it from Ari's mom. It's coconut cake soaked in syrup. It's the most Samoa-y Greek food I've ever tasted."

Marshmallow Pops | Charlie & the Chocolate Factory

(Originally posted in 2015 for Fiction Kitchen Podcast Episode 21: Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.)

The sweets looked very much like square sugar lumps–except that each of them had a funny little pink face painted on one side.
….
“You said they were round!” said Veruca Salt.
“I never said anything of the sort,” said Mr. Wonka. “I said they looked round.”
….
He took a key from his pocket, and unlocked the door, and flung it open…and suddenly...at the sound of the door opening, all the rows and rows of little square sweets looked quickly round to see who was coming in.
