A Feast of Ice and Fire: The Official Companion Cookbook

Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and Sariann Lehrer created this volume for fans of George R. R. Martin’s saga. They run Inn at the Crossroads, a food blog dedicated to the series. The book contains over one hundred recipes organized by region within the fictional world. Readers find dishes from The Wall, such as Rack of Lamb and Herbs and Pork Pie. The North section offers Beef and Bacon Pie and Honeyed Chicken. Southern recipes include Cream Swans and Trout Wrapped in Bacon. King’s Landing features Lemon Cakes and Quails Drowned in Butter. Dorne provides Stuffed Grape Leaves and Duck with Lemons. Recipes from Across the Narrow Sea include Tyroshi Honeyfingers and Wintercakes. The authors adapted these medieval-inspired meals for modern kitchens. They provide substitutions for ingredients like camel or dragon eggs, which are not available in standard grocery stores. The text includes passages from all five books in the series to contextualize each dish. Full-color photographs accompany the instructions. A foreword by George R. R. Martin introduces the project. This book suits fans who enjoy cooking fantasy-themed meals and reading excerpts from the novels. It may not appeal to those seeking strictly historical cookbooks without fictional framing. The authors combine their blog experience with research into the source material. The result is a practical guide for recreating feasts in Westeros.
