Soot's Kitchen
Recipes from the bakery on Lantern Lane
Soot bakes bread, pies and anything that fits in an oven — and a few things that don't. Every card here prints on a single sheet, small hands included.

Soot's Hearth Cookies
The ones cooling in the bakery window on Lantern Lane. Soft in the middle, crackled on top, best eaten warm with the door open to the cold.

Pull-apart honey butter loaf
Long Hall Supper Bread
For the night the whole hill eats at one table. No kneading, no waiting about — just a loaf built to be torn into by many hands at once.

Book 02 · First Snow
Soot Bakes It All
Soot's fire climbs too high, the dough won't rise and the feast is ruined. Then Plum calls down the hill, and one by one the village arrives with something to share.
