Now, nestling comfortably into the second week of November, I have a long-promised treat to share with you: a new, sneak-peek recipe from (and with huge thanks to!) @AGothicCookbook 🖤. 🦇 On this day, 1847, Mr Abraham ‘Bram’ Stoker erupted into existence, in Dublin, Ireland. Synonymous with the gothic, Stoker is most famous for his eternal vampire story. Just like its eponymous creature, the tale of Dracula has lived many lives since Bram first released it into the world in 1897. 🦇 In celebration of Bram’s birthday today, I am delighted to share with you a feast brought to life from the pages of Stoker’s eternal vampire story. Tried, tested, and photographed by yours truly, here it is: Mina’s Paprika Hendl, in the words of A Gothic Cookbook. 🦇 Head to the blog now to read, and try, the recipe for yourself! 🔗Link in bio. 🦇 📸: Image 2 credit to @agothiccookbook illustrator, Lee Henry. 🦇 🕯How are you celebrating Bram's birthday today? . #agothiccookbook #gothickitchen #generallygothic #bookreview #arc #cookerybook #gothic #bookstagram #bramstoker #dracula #vampire #bookishcooks #literaryrecipe #spookynerd #autumn #otd (at Castle Dracula) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWB7H9irSHR/?utm_medium=tumblr

I was newly living in California. It was hot. I was homesick. I pored over Rebecca, missing cold breezes, crumpets, and ‘proper’ cups of tea. 🫖 Every time our nameless heroine took tea, so did I. I ate and drank my way through that novel without really realising... 🫖 Recently, @agothiccookbook asked if I'd like to review a sneak peek recipe of theirs, before the publication of their forthcoming gothic cookbook. Without knowing the above little personal, culinary history, they selected 'Rebecca's Gingerbread' for me. It felt fated - I was going to ~taste~ a real Danvers spread! 🫖 I love ginger, Rebecca, and cake in pretty equal measure, so this was a delight to create. And I must say, the research - historical, literary, and culinary - that has gone into this recipe is apparent in every bite 👩‍🍳🤌💋 (*chef's kiss*). 🫖 Today on the blog, you will find: ⚜Ella, 'A Gothic Cookbook' coauthor, revealing all about the process - you guys, it's deliciously nerdy! ⚜The full 'Rebecca's Gingerbread' recipe - ingredients, method, and all. ⚜And, a Generally Gothic first: a discount code for the book (did I just level up?!). 🫖 🔗Read 'That Very Special Gingerbread: ‘A Gothic Cookbook’ Recipe' via link in bio. I really hope you have as much fun reading this as I did creating it. And if you're inspired to step up to the mixing bowl, please tag me and @agothiccookbook in your snaps. 🫖 Wouldst thou like to live deliciously? Well, now you can! . #rebecca #daphnedumaurier #bookstagram #agothiccookbook #gothicnovel #gothicliterature #gingerbread #gingerbreadrecipe #recipereview #food #cake #afternoontea #bookreview #spookynerd #cottagecore #darkacademia #darkacademiaaesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/CSOWdS5AZKM/?utm_medium=tumblr
