Anne of Green Gables

By L. M. Montgomery

πŸ₯„ Snack: Raspberry Cordial β™‘

Directions:

Gather one imaginative orphan, a cozy farmhouse on Prince Edward Island, a kindred spirit or two, and an endless supply of daydreams. Add a splash of raspberry cordial, a pinch of mischief, and plenty of heartfelt lessons about family and belonging. Stir gently until Avonlea feels like home.

Recipe notes: Few literary drinks are as memorable as Anne's famous raspberry cordialβ€”especially since it wasn't actually raspberry cordial at all! That unforgettable mix-up has delighted readers for generations, making this sweet, ruby-red drink the perfect companion while visiting Green Gables.

πŸ’¬ Talk About It

  • Anne gives beautiful names to ordinary places like the Lake of Shining Waters and the White Way of Delight. If you could rename a place near your home, what would you call it?
  • Why do you think imagination was so important to Anne? Can dreaming help us become stronger?
  • Would you rather accidentally dye your hair bright green 🟒 OR accidentally bake a cake that everyone remembers for the wrong reason? πŸŽ‚
