Author Recipes

One of my favorite things to do while interviewing authors is to ask them to either share a recipe from a food/meal that was featured in their books or a personal favorite. Later, I make the recipe, take photos, and blog about it! I honestly blame it all on Katherine Center when her main character was eating a delicious Mexican Tomato Lime soup and I seriously wanted to try it. When I asked Katherine for it, she said it was her favorite soup and I’m not kidding when I say it’s now mine! So now, I’ve collected all kind of recipes from your favorite authors!
