Your opinion please
Dear backer-producer friends: Sorry, I've been away for awhile. I'm back and have a question for you.
Food is a rather important "ingredient" in Keep Eyes Behind. Often I describe scenes in which, along their journey, the children are eating - sometimes Persian food; sometimes food more culturally of Baghdad. The editor noticed that these eating scenes allow the characters a break from more intense dramatic action, which either has just occured, or is about to occur. Although it was an unconscious aspect of my writing, we realize that the importance of food and hospitality adds texture to the 19th century Middle Eastern culture in which the story is set.
Here is the question:
Would you like to have recipes of the foods the children eat included in the Appendix of the book?
The editor and I are eager to know your opinion, so please don't be shy.
Thanks, Beverlee

Oh, yes. Most definitely!

Yes, I'd love to have the recipes too, but not sure if I will actually make them. Depends on what they are and how appealing they sound. Thanks.

I think recipes would make a great addition to the story. Nice idea.

Hello Dear sister, I'd love to have the recipes what a great idea. Thank you and your editors for thinking of this.
Creator Lyn Martin on February 24, 2012
Yes. I learned how to make Fried Green Tomatoes from the book of the same name. And I still want to know how to make that wonderful crispy-bottomed rice.
