Cottagecore

Cottagecore is an aesthetic idealising rural life. Cottagecore fiction tends to be gentle stories in a rural setting, at a slow pace which includes descriptions of nature, and exude feelings of comfort with perhaps some mild adventure and a some fantasy.

Nature comes in here. Pomegranate seeds on rice dishes, a strip of orange peel for a negroni, or a ribbon of lemon skin for a martini. A lime wedge for gin. A bowl of ripening pears. A jar of dates.
