this is the greatest stock art find of my year it is a churro standing upright with a big blob of chocolate sauce on one end and it totally looks like a dick a big churro chocolate dick my day is made!

Smart Dishes, Trashy Cooks brings you food!


Easy-to-follow recipes for every craving, from salty to sweet to savory to spicy!

Recipes include Cornish pasties, historically accurate gingerbread, spicy wrapped sweet potato bites, and, of course, Better Than Sex Chocolate Cake.

Complete menus for your favorite books. For example: read Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie with our glazed cherry hand pies and a tall frosted rum & cherry Coke. Our, try a Christina Lauren title with a sweet and salty chocolate pretzel tart and our chili-fire hot chocolate!


alas the stock art for cocktails despite the name were not as suggestive so this is a red tinted cocktail splashing out of a martini glass somewhat suggestively with limes resting at the bottom

And a drinking guide!


Updated, easy to use instructions for all your best-loved cocktails and new twists on old favorites!

We pair your favorite backlist titles with the perfect cocktail. Virgin hero? Carrie recommends a virgin daiquiri! Erotic romance? RedHeadedGirl suggests dirty martinis, of course! Sweet romances? Try Sarah’s favorite, the classic Bee’s Knees. Angsty romances? Amanda’s got a Dark & Stormy recipe for you!

Elyse has an entire section of drink suggestions for watching The Bachelor, including unique libations for each element of the show.

We also have hangover remedies, historical and current, for you after you have perhaps overindulged. Some of them might work! Some of them might not kill you.

But wait, there’s more!


Coming in 2019: Bitchin Kitchen, our signature Reading Lounge and restaurant will be open to the public!

We’ll have small plates of food, sturdy beverage glasses, and plenty of comfortable couches so you can read, drink, and relax alone or with your friends! RedHeadedGirl will be at the bar, mixing your favorite drink, and Carrie will be making sure you have the fluffiest of blankets, and that the table with your food and drink isn’t too far away!

Special bonus: an adjoining cat cafe, where Elyse will introduce you to rescue cats available for adoption who like to be read to. And Amanda will be at the coffee bar - asking her to add a shot your drink is encouraged! Remember, if it involves cat pee, the HEA is meant to be.
