A Feast of Ice and Fire: The Official Game of Thrones Companion Cookbook
by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel
4★
This was an ok cookbook. It was nice to learn about Chelsea and Sariann and their blog - The Inn at the Crossroads. I can really tell that they've done their research on the 15th century foods and recipes in order to bring the Game of Thrones's food to life. They've added some quoted bits of the recipes they found in very old cookbooks.
I'm more of a sweets and drinks cook myself. This cookbook has some good recipes of old and modern. Meaning a very old fashion recipe with some food items old and difficult to find in grocery markets and the modern recipe that has today's common ingredients. A lot of the pictures looked delicious, even for some of the foods with items that I don't like (onions yuck). Chelsea and Sarrian have broken down the foods and recipes to the GoT's regions. I myself don't know much about the story (or show), so their description of the regions and what foods ate found was helpful, along with their opinion of the food.
George's introduction was short and nice to read. He confesses to be not a cook but rather a veracious food lover. It was also interesting and insightful to hear his opinion on why he has written a lot about food in his books
