Top 10 Tuesday | Book + Recipe Pairings

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature created by The Broke and the Bookish

This week’s topic is a fun one! It’s all about food and books – two of my favorite things. I decided to pick 10 books and pair a recipe that makes me think of the book. Now most of these are desserts, with a few drinks thrown in, but I love baking so I naturally gravitated toward those recipes. Hope you enjoy them!

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han |  ​Chocolate​ ​Chip​ ​Cookies

What could pair more perfectly with this adorably sweet book than a fantastic chocolate chip cookie recipe from The ChocolaTess.

---

Harry​ ​Potter​ ​series by JK Rowling | ​Butterbeer

Now this isn’t an incredibly original pairing, but I don’t care. This Bourbon Butterbeer recipe is awesome – though I like it better cold.

---

Sasquatch, Love, and Other Imaginary Things by Betsy Aldridge & Carrie DuBoius Shaw | ​ ​S’mores​ ​Pie 

Camping and wilderness makes me think of S’mores. And the perfect dessert for hunting down Sasquatch is obviously this S’mores Pie from Tasty Kitchen.

---

Love​ ​&​ ​Gelato​ by Jenna Evans Welch | ​ ​Matcha Coconut Ice​ ​Cream 

I had to include a recipe for my favorite ice cream flavor – green tea ice cream. But this recipe from Laura Kelly Nutrition has a delicious (and vegan) coconut milk twist!

---

Anna​ ​and​ ​the​ ​French​ ​Kiss​ ​by Stephanie Perkins |  ​Lavender ​Macaroons 

Macaroons are the epitome of french desserts (and they’re incredibly delicious). This Lavender Macaroon with a Honey Earl Grey Buttercream recipe from The Cottage Diaries combines some of my favorite flavors.

Georgia​ ​Peaches​ ​and​ ​Other​ ​Forbidden​ ​Fruit​ by Jaye Robin Brown |​ ​Peach​ ​Galette 

 

Now I’m not the biggest pie person (or cooked fruit really), but I LOVE galettes. And this Peach Galette from Everyday Dishes looks perfect for summer next year.

---

Throne​ ​of​ ​Glass​ series by Sarah J Maas | Vegan​ ​Chocolate​ ​Cupcakes 

This is the best chocolate cake recipe you will ever have in your life. Bold statement, I know but it’s completely accurate. Again, I’m not a huge fave of chocolate cake, but there’s something special about these Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes from Raepublic.

---

This​ ​Wicked​ ​Game​ by Michelle Zink | ​Beignets  

With a New Orleans setting how could I have anything other than a beignets recipe. This Biscuit Beignets recipe is a quick and easy alternative to the classic pastry.

---

My​ ​New​ ​Crush​ ​Gave​ ​to​ ​Me​ ​by Shani Petroff | ​ ​Hot​ ​Chocolate​

 

I’m not the biggest fan of straight hot chocolate – it’s always too sweet and rich. But this Hot Chocolate Coffee from Sugar and Soul sounds divine for the winter months! It pairs perfectly with this cozy holiday romance.

---

Speak​ ​Easy,​ ​Speak​ ​Now​ ​by McKelle George | ​Gin​ ​Ricky 

How could I not have a 1920s inspired cocktail for this books set in a Speakeasy during prohibition. And this Gin Ricky from Food52 sounds really good because I love all things lime.
