Hi, Ariana! There's two things I want to ask you about!

1. '''Is the mid-may schedule for the book cooks still open? (or your schedule to do an article so to speak) I'm NOT asking for the Inkheart one to be moved earlier, but am wondering if it's possible for you to also do a blog for The Caster Chronicles to celebrate the release of the second book of the spin-off series, Dangerous Deception.' I'm not anywhere near a hardcore fan; I've not read all the four books from the main series, but I've finished Dangerous Creatures'' and am excited for the upcoming sequel. I also think The Caster Chronicles Wiki can really use some serious help right now with a bit positive promotion; their main page had been vandalized and no body even tried to fixed it for over a month (I eventually did, but something weird is still happening on the main page) so yeah... I thought it'll be nice if the blog can attract a few serious editors.

Because I'm not a true-fan, I cannot brainstorm like I did with Inkheart, but I feel like certain food had in fact been mentioned and associated with the series. From the main series I got:


 * 1) Green tomato, when Ethan met his mom on the other side, I think she said that was the only thing she's able to make a decent dish out off; still not exactly sure what dish it was but that's an idea. They were also having cherries, but this is probably going to be used in some other ways.
 * 2) Chocolate, I'm not sure what it is, but I have the impression that it's kind of like how it is in Harry Potter, how chocolate is supposed to make you feel better or something. I think chocolate cakes have been brought up at least twice in Beautiful Redemption alone. Chocolate Fudge Cake with Chocolate Fudge Icing (sans the icing?) is supposedly Ethan's favorite.
 * 3) Some kind of pie, as according to NOVL it honors Amma.
 * 4) Amma's Pot Roast, Pulled Pork with Carolina golden mustard BBQ sauce (Mustard Base Barbecue Sauce; look at that! this is actually from south Carolina, just like the story!) were mentioned in Beautiful Redemption.

From the spin-off I got, probably more important:
 * 1) Cherry Lollipops; I think it's safe to say lollipops are Ridley's signature; although it could also be bubblegum or some other sweets but lollipop is definitely most iconic.
 * 2) Grown-up S'mores; the 6 main characters from the main series started off camping with s'mores in the spin-off, this is just the first s'mores recipe that caught my eye on the wiki.
 * 3) "Nectar of the Gods"; it was described as a drink with golden bubbles that looked syrupy and smelt like sugarcane... Ridley saw it as a Siren's catnip, joy juice, and elixir of sugar.

So yeah, hope it's doable if stuff hasn't been planned for later this month!

2. Was wondering if you've decided what dishes to use for the Inkheart menu. Will you use any of the ones I suggested, or have you come up with a complete new menu? I was thinking that since the other book cooks menu were all 4-5 dishes, if what I pitched is going to be used, perhaps only use the salad, the tongue appetizer, the pasta, and the flaming cocktail. Those are covered with the first two books, and for self-preservation I guess, save the pie and mille-feuille for my original proposal, for another blog to be posted two years later lol. Think about it? xoxo

This is just out of curiosity, I know the book cooks hadn't been created back then, but do you think this blog Divergent Premiere Party Menu can be moved from Tune in Table to The Book Cooks? Right now that's the only one that's a menu for a movie (and base on book) premiere; seems a bit out of place when the rest of them all seem like for tv shows. Just an idea.
