🌿✨ Announcing: Summer in Faerie ✨🌿

“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the disheveled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”
— W.B. Yeats, The Land of Heart’s Desire

This summer, I’m stepping through the garden gate—and you’re invited to follow.

From June through August, I’ll be loosely guiding my creative work with a seasonal theme: Summer in Faerie. It’s a celebration of strange beauty, edible wonder, and stories that shimmer at the edges of the everyday.

Not every post will be about faeries, but the spirit of the season will be there—in every honey-drizzled berry, moonlit dessert, and flower-laced recipe. You’ll still find historical research, updates from The Adventurer’s Cookbook, and plenty of behind-the-scenes chaos—but this time, kissed by enchantment.

Expect:

🧚 Tiny treats and faerie-sized foods—tiny tarts, petal-wrapped cheeses, wild berries in honey syrup
🌸 Recipes with edible flowers, foraged greens, and ingredients from my garden
🧀 Experimental creations like petal-laced cheeses and glittering green wines
📝 Lore-rich nods to ACOTAR, The Folk of the Air, Redwall, LotR, and beyond
🌿 Craft projects for all ages—fairy garden furniture, twinkling windchimes, pressed flower lanterns, and more
🍷 Drinks both historical and fantastical—rosehip punch, glimmerwine, and dew-sweet cordials
🧺 Perhaps even a secret garden party… and a seasonal zine to bring it all together

For the duration of the season, all of the content will live on Patreon, where all supporters (paid or not) can access:

If you’ve ever dreamed of sharing a twilight feast, or sipping something sparkling beneath the elder trees—now’s your moment. Come join me where the garden ends and the fairy tale begins.

This summer, we’re stepping through the garden gate and into something a little more magical. I’m excited to share that I’m starting a seasonal initiative, whereby June through August will be loosely guided by a new seasonal theme: Summer in Faerie. 

What does that mean?

It means that while not every post will be about faeries, the season as a whole will be inspired by the kind of strange beauty that might be found in a mossy glade or at the edge of a twilight feast. You’ll still see historical recipes, research tidbits, and plenty of behind-the-scenes peeks at The Adventurer’s Cookbook, but many will be infused with the flavors, flowers, and folklore of an enchanted summer.

Expect:

All Patrons, whether you’re able to pay or not, get some pretty cool perks:

So come join us in the part of the forest where the real magic happens.

Pull up a toadstool. Stay a while. We’re just getting started…
