The Toast Maker — Episode 20: The Emergency Cake

·59 min

Tonight, Iris makes the first recipe from Mary's box — the emergency chocolate cake, which turns out to be quite good medicine for a December Friday alone in Elder Cottage. While it bakes, the first snow of winter arrives outside, soft and uncommitted. And tucked behind the recip

The Toast Maker — Episode 19: The B&B on Darlow Road

·2h 38m

A Lord of the Rings–inspired soundscape set on a worn cobblestone path through a Shire-like village. Hearth smoke from round hobbit-hole windows, distant fiddles drifting from the Green Dragon, the soft weight of a place where second breakfast is the most pressing concern.
