Ever wonder what it's like to attend a feast at Winterfell? Wish you
could split a lemon cake with Sansa Stark, scarf down a pork pie with
the Night's Watch, or indulge in honeyfingers with Daenerys Targaryen?
George R. R. Martin's bestselling saga A Song of Ice and Fire and the
runaway hit HBO series Game of Thrones are renowned for bringing
Westeros's sights and sounds to vivid life. But one important ingredient
has always been missing: the mouthwatering dishes that form the backdrop
of this extraordinary world. Now, fresh out of the series that redefined
fantasy, comes the cookbook that may just redefine dinner . . . and
lunch, and breakfast.
A passion project from superfans and amateur chefs Chelsea Monroe-Cassel
and Sariann Lehrer--and endorsed by George R. R. Martin himself--A
Feast of Ice and Fire lovingly replicates a stunning range of cuisines
from across the Seven Kingdoms and beyond. From the sumptuous delicacies
enjoyed in the halls of power at King's Landing, to the warm and smoky
comfort foods of the frozen North, to the rich, exotic fare of the
mysterious lands east of Westeros, there's a flavor for every palate,
and a treat for every chef.
These easy-to-follow recipes have been refined for modern cooking
techniques, but adventurous eaters can also attempt the authentic
medieval meals that inspired them. The authors have also suggested
substitutions for some of the more fantastical ingredients, so you won't
have to stock your kitchen with camel, live doves, or dragon eggs to
create meals fit for a king (or a khaleesi). In all, A Feast of Ice
and Fire contains more than 100 recipes, divided by region:
- The Wall: Rack of Lamb and Herbs; Pork Pie; Mutton in Onion-Ale
Broth; Mulled Wine; Pease Porridge
- The North: Beef and Bacon Pie; Honeyed Chicken; Aurochs with
Roasted Leeks; Baked Apples
- The South: Cream Swans; Trout Wrapped in Bacon; Stewed Rabbit;
Sister's Stew; Blueberry Tarts
- King's Landing: Lemon Cakes; Quails Drowned in Butter; Almond
Crusted Trout; Bowls of Brown; Iced Milk with Honey
- Dorne: Stuffed Grape Leaves; Duck with Lemons; Chickpea Paste
- Across the Narrow Sea: Biscuits and Bacon; Tyroshi Honeyfingers;
Wintercakes; Honey-Spiced Locusts
There's even a guide to dining and entertaining in the style of the
Seven Kingdoms. Exhaustively researched and reverently detailed,
accompanied by passages from all five books in the series and full-color
photographs guaranteed to whet your appetite, this is the companion to
the blockbuster phenomenon that millions of stomachs have been growling
for. And remember, winter is coming--so don't be afraid to put on a few
pounds.
Includes a Foreword by George R. R. Martin
