Blogs from The Starving Artist featuring book-related recipes, menus, and food history.

• Little Thieves. German fairy-tale food, including First Course Liver Dumpling Soup, Chicken Schnitzel (or Lazy Sausage), Spatzle (Rustic Noodles), “Minkja-Style” Kraut (Spiced Cabbage), Gisele’s–or Is It Vanja’s?–Favorite Strawberry Dumplings for Dessert, and Buttermilk Ice Cream with Whipped Cream.
• The Seep. The almost-vegetarian health-food of the future, and a couple things that we’d miss: White Cabbage Soup; Wannabe Shaman Bitter Green Salad, BBQ Tofu, Sticky Rice and Sour Fish Broth; Bad Attitude Cafe’s Mother’s Meatloaf; and Blueberry Blintzes with Sour Cream.
• Harry’s Birthday Cake. You know, the one that Hagrid brought along in his overcoat to tell Harry he was a wizard on his 11th birthday. Also the one I brought to a birthday-eve book club movie viewing.
