Twilight Recipies

While cruising my fave TwiCrackAddict I saw she posted a blog on "Twilight Inspired Recipies" which she found on the Food&Wine Website

As you will agree, many are a bit of a stretch to connect with Twilight (seems everyone just wants to cash in on the fame of it all) but indeed some recipies sound delicious....


Grilled Strip Steaks with Sweet Potato Hash Browns
In Twilight (the four-book series by Stephanie Meyer), the teenaged heroine Bella Swan transfers to a new high school, where she begins to fall in love with schoolmate Edward Cullen, gets hunted by a blood-thirsty vampire who wants to kill her, and still finds the time to make home-cooked meals for her father Charlie, the chief of police in Forks, Washington. Charlie’s a meat-and-potatoes kind of man, so Bella prepares a fast steak and potato meal like the one in this recipe.






Fettuccine with Mushrooms, Tarragon, and Goat-Cheese Sauce
After saving her life for a second time, Edward Cullen takes Bella Swan to a quiet diner. Anxious for the waitress to leave them alone, Bella orders the first thing she sees on the menu, mushroom ravioli, and listens as Edward begins to reveal that he is a "vegetarian" vampire, meaning he chooses to hunt animals instead of humans for the blood that he instinctually craves. This quick and easy vegetarian pasta has a delectably rich-tasting sauce that clings to each strand of fettuccine and requires no cooking.



Then there is the real stretchers like this:


10-Minute Tomato Sauce
A more pleasant alternative to real blood, this tomato sauce is both supersimple but luxurious.
