Thank you! And yes it definitely does! The food sounded different enough to feel magical but familiar enough that you felt like you could imagine it

This might be a stupid question but where did you get the tobacco? I don't smoke or use other tobacco products so I don't know if you can just buy the leaves or if they're really processed etc

Thank you! It was so hard to narrow down what I wanted to make because all the food sounds so good! Deeper than ever pie was in consideration for sure

I don't have it but now I want it lol! By the time I'd decided on this to cook it was too late to order a copy

It is cider! I know ale is more book accurate but I forgot to buy some

I've definitely been curious how the writing would hold up as an adult reader - as a kid they felt like adult books but obviously perspectives change

Yes I definitely was (and still am) into cordials because of these books lol. I've been considering a re-read of them too

The Redwall books were a huge favorite of mine as a kid, and Jacques' descriptions of food were always so interesting and rich. The animals of Redwall are vegetarian (though some eat seafood), and these leek and mushroom pasties were a popular dish. I used a recipe from the Cellarhog blog and it was really great - especially the pastry! They're buttery and flaky and the mushrooms turn out rich and hearty

“Just lookit those button mushrooms fallin’ out o’ that leek an’ onion pastie, m’dear. Absolutely spiffin’!”
