DESCRIPTION:
"The real deal ASOIAF cookbook!" according to D. C. Obraztsov. I unfortunately ordered The Unofficial Game of Thrones Cookbook: From Direwolf Ale to Auroch Stew - More Than 150 Recipes from Westeros and Beyond before this one (my incessant need to buy anything asoiaf-related), and it was a disappointent. Recipes that weren't related to the book, no pictures, no glossy pages.pretty much BORING. This, on the other hand, the "official cookbook." It was made by diehard blog fans and GRRM even gives you an introduction. I'm going to break the book down so that you can decide whether or not this book is for you.INTRODUCTION. Well researched with fantastic recipes Shala Kerrigan If you love to cook, and you're a fan of the George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, than you probably already know about the blog Inn at the Crossroads. If you've only watched the HBO series, Game of Thrones, then you've missed the wonderful descriptions of food in the series. A big part of Martin's world building is trying to make you experience things on a visceral level, which includes rich, detailed descriptions of meals that you can almost smell and taste.The authors decided to try and cook their way through the books, and more than that, t. Amazon Customer said Winter is Coming. This cookbook must be one of my favorite cookbooks I have ever gotten. The recipes are categorize by Game of Thrones regions, and all of them have been mentioned in the book at least once (they quote the part where the dish is mentioned in the book), and they feature a Medieval version of each dish and a modern version, which I thought it was really thoughtful and made it extra cool! Oh, forgot to mention the great photography for each dish!If you love food and Game of Thrones, this is an excellent companion cookbook!

"The combination of headnotes and recipes in A Feast of Ice and Fire almost reaches the Elizabeth David level of 'put down this book, get out of bed and start cooking.' And with their adherence to the imagined geography of Westeros, the authors also might actually outdo Alice Waters in local and seasonal cooking." -Newsweek
