Outlander Kitchen was born in early 2010, on a walk in the woods with the dog. A scene from Voyager popped spontaneously into my head, where, several characters share a plate of rolls filled with minced pigeon and truffles. Outlander Kitchen: The Official Outlander Companion Cookbook was published in 2016 by Delacorte Press of Penguin Random House. Outlander Kitchen - To the New World and Back Again: The Second Official Outlander Companion Cookbook was published in 2020. Writing a fictional cookbook begins with reading. In the case of my next project, Castle Rock Kitchen, Stephen King’s library kept me busy reading for six months solid and then, intermittently, for another two years while the project came together. Born and raised on the opposite coast, in Vancouver, BC, Canada, I must confess that I’ve been to Maine only once, in 2008, a year after the death of my father. I joined a silent retreat where I gave myself the space to look forward after months of remembrance and grief. The six days I spent southwest of Bangor changed my life. Fourteen years on, I am the author of two Outlander Kitchen cookbooks, and have completed this, my third fiction-inspired collection of recipes. Castle Rock Kitchen goes on sale October 4, 2022.
