Book Confessions of an Ex-Ballerina

This week, we’re venturing to the land of fire and ice with an Iceland-inspired menu that brings the rugged beauty and comforting flavors of the North straight to your kitchen. From hearty stews to simple, fresh seafood dishes and a touch of Nordic sweetness, each recipe reflects the rustic charm and deep-rooted traditions of Icelandic cuisine. Whether you're drawn in by volcanic landscapes or just craving something cozy, this week’s meals promise a taste of Iceland’s magic—no passport required.

Alongside this week’s culinary journey, I’m diving into Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes, the chilling sequel to You. Joe Goldberg is back, and this time he's headed to Los Angeles in search of a fresh start—and maybe a new obsession or two. Kepnes delivers her signature blend of dark humor, psychological suspense, and uncomfortable intimacy as we follow Joe deeper into his twisted world. It’s the perfect unsettling companion to balance out the comfort food on this week’s menu.

Let's get to this week's menu. Enjoy!
