Middle grade writer Laurie Morrison shares some baked goods-related research holes she found in the process of writing her third novel Saint Ivy. Val makes it weird by talking about some random historical Philadelphia dishes, from terrapin to salad customs to scrapple. SHOW NOTES:[All links below can be found on our website researchholepodcast.com.]Visit the Abrams website for links to all the stores where you can buy Saint Ivy. (I said Bookshop.com in the episode but what I meant was Bookshop.org - it’s a site where a small percentage of your purchase goes to indie bookstores. You can also find your local indie bookstore by looking it up on Indiebound.org.) Saint Ivy activity guide (with kid-friendly German Chocolate Cake recipe!) can be found on Laurie's website.I’m not sure if this is truly the original German chocolate cake recipe, but it’s listed as such on a Baker’s German sweet chocolate bar wrapper, so I’m guessing it’s close. The Llanfear Pattern by Francis Biddle is hard to find online - the best I have for you is this Worldcat link. But there is a review of the book in the New York Times from 1927! (Long story short - the critic found the story lacking in personality, but thought Biddle was promising as a writer. To each his own!) Diamondback Terrapin pic that I sent to Laurie is from the wikipedia page :(There is a good explainer of the difference between Philadelphia vs. French style ice cream on The Week (with some bonus other types of ice cream thrown in)The full list and schedule of Jeopardy guest hosts can be found at EW.com.
