Hey Reader,

Immerse yourself in the world of Byzantium through its rich and flavorful cuisine! To bring the spirit of Trunk of Scrolls alive, we will be having TREATS at the party.

BYOT (Bring your own treat)

Here are three simple, delicious recipes inspired by the story:

Ancient Greek Lentil Soup

(from chapter: Antioch the Glorius: The Ascension Eve Banquet)

​

feel free to explore other Lentil soup recipes. I like adding curry to lentils, but that spice wasn’t around in Byzantine times!

Arité’s Bread (Apicius’s recipe)

(from chapter: Taurus the Turbulent: A Sorcerer’s Wage)

​

Kopton Cakes

(from chapter: Chalcedon the Betrayed: A Legacy Unfolds)

​

15 minute Baklava

Other options: fruits such as fig, grape, apple, pear, cherry, plum, damson, mulberry, pomegranate, date and olive; vegetables such as cucumber and celery; nuts, seeds and pulses such as lentil, pine nut, almond, walnut and sesame; and herbs and spices including coriander, dill and fennel.

🌟 Launch Party Feasting: Bring your own taste of Byzantium to the online launch party! Whether it’s honey bread, spiced wine, or your own Byzantine-inspired creation, let’s make it a feast to remember.

📸 Snap a photo of your dish and share it before the party!

Thanks for being here!
