Reading The Night Circus was a magical experience. I adore this book for being a magical Alice in wonderland style journey. I also loved how it describes hot cider, and fondly remember his book when I drink hot cider.
Ages ago I read a spiritual self help book where the author has a humorous but life changing moment eating a bowl of Raisin Bran.
I. Hate. Raisins.
But that book impacted me so much I regularly eat raisin bran, and I feckin love it's now, despite still disliking raisins.
Reading ASOIAF got me to try mulled wine, and though I don't drink it hardly ever, it was a neat thing to try out!

‘Drive your Plough Over the Bones of the Dead’ has a recipe for Mustard Soup. I keep meaning to try it
