I was recently contacted by Shari’s Berries, an online retailer of dessert treats such as chocolate-dipped strawberries and cake pops (yum!), to feature an infographic they created that pairs 20 books with desserts.
Pairings range from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland with tea biscuits and jam to Jack Kerouac’s On the Road with apple pie and ice cream. By the time I was done reading, I was craving the treats and wistful for old books I’ve read like The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, which was paired with Turkish Delight, of course, and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby that’s best read with some lemon cake nearby.
Well, don’t let me keep you. Take a look at the infographic and tell me which pairing appeals to you the most.
Reblogged this on Archer's Aim and commented:
This is an interesting infographic about eating and reading!

I love this! Jane Eyre is a favorite of mine, and the seed cake fits so well. I’m actually not a big fan of sweets, but I’ve always wanted to try a Turkish Delight.

Yea! I’ve always wanted to try Turkish Delight too to see what’s so tempting about it.

Ha! I’ve actually had peanut butter soup and it’s not as disgusting as it sounds, only once though.
Strawberries in chocolate moose is one of my favourites, so quick and easy to make too, I’ll go check see if any have ripened yet 🙈

Really, I’ve never had peanut butter soup. I’ve had peanut porridge once and it was quite yummy.

Okay, now I’m hungry. Any book will go well with a chocolate cupcake, as far as I know 🙂

Oh yes! Or a s’mores cupcake from Sprinkles. That cupcake shop is my weakness. I’m glad the ones I’ve seen aren’t situated next to ColdStone Ice Cream Creamery (2nd weakness).
