Hello, Darlings! A reader recently asked me how I come up with the food themes in my books, and I couldn’t wait to bite into this one! In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my Bakeshop Mysteries and sharing how I research (and test!) every recipe, including some delicious—and disastrous—kitchen moments. From writing a scene inspired by a raspberry Danish to traveling all the way to Costa Rica for coffee research, we’re talking about how food fuels story, connects readers, and becomes a character in its own right. Warning: you may leave hungry. 😋
