Boy oh boy, there is nothing more glorious than a mix of delicious food and beautiful storytelling, is there? Well, Nicole is the brilliant girl behind my new hang out place called Paper and Salt. Being a voracious consumer of both food and literature she came up with a genius idea of recreating and reinterpreting the dishes that iconic authors discuss in their letters, diaries, essays and fictions. Isn't that awesome? I'm dying to try Virgina Wolf’s cottage loaf or the scrumptious vanilla ice-cream with a twist by the one and only Henry James. Yum! xo
P.S: Also, food and fashion + those cool food flags.
P.P.S: Snazzy GIVEAWAY Wednesday is coming up:)

oh, that sounds like an amazing blog! one of my favourite books is the Ravenous Muse, which takes off-center food writing from legitimate literature and puts it all together in one devious volume. And you can BET I'm gonna be all over this blog!!! <3
