Sue's Diner: Steve's Spaghetti Sauce

This week's recipe is a homemade spaghetti sauce that was submitted by one of the characters in the BryonySeries.

This recipe appears in the BryonySeries cookbook: Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony," which is a permament fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties.

The recipe is referenced in the novel Bryony, where the brother of the protagonist, 1970s teen named Melissa Marchellis, is being mentored by the village maintenance man, Steve Barnes. 

Steve helps Brian Marchellis with his homework, teaches him to cook, and provides a father figure after the death of Brian's father. Spaghetti topped with Steve's homemade spaghetti sauce is one of the meals the two make for dinner together.

You can try our modified recipe on the Sue's Diner page on the BryonySeries website.

But try the recipe this week. It will be gone some time next week. A new recipe will take it's place.

By the way, Sue's Diner is only real in the BryonySeries world. But didn't Timothy do a great job making the page look like a real menu at a vintage diner?

Here is the full diner page: bryonyseries.com/sue-s-diner. You can't really order, of course (wouldn't it be great if you could?).
