Time for a sneak peek of my upcoming cookbook, A LITERARY PICNIC! Below you’ll find pics from the Fairy Tale menu, along with descriptions of the recipes. This was one of my favorite menus to photograph. Do you spy the sweet little fairy table in the photo above? ^.^

THE FAIRY TALE MENU

FAIRY TOAST. Traditionally prepared as buttered sandwich bread topped with sprinkles, this version features toasted brioche and mascarpone blended with three flavors of homemade jam.

RAPUNZEL’S BRAIDED PASTRIES. These sausage & thyme pastries are painted with an edible egg wash “R” for Rapunzel, but you can also use the first letter of the guest of honor at your party.

RED RIDING HOOD’S FRUIT SALAD. A medley of red fruit (along with some blueberries and plums for contrast), dressed with a pomegranate and lime vinaigrette.

ENCHANTED SWAN COOKIES. Dutch butter cookies piped to look like swans!

POISON APPLE PUNCH. A blend of sparkling cider, ginger ale, pomegranate juice, cranberry juice, and blood orange bitters.

I’ll share some of the book’s bonus content in the weeks to come, so stay tuned!
