A Feast of Ice and Fire

Ever imagined attending a feast at Winterfell, savoring a lemon cake with Sansa Stark, or feasting on a pork pie with the Night's Watch? George R. R. Martin's epic saga A Song of Ice and Fire and the acclaimed HBO series Game of Thrones have captivated audiences with their vivid portrayal of the sights and sounds of Westeros. Yet, a vital element has been missing: the delectable dishes that bring this extraordinary world to life. Now, inspired by the series that redefined fantasy, arrives a cookbook that aims to transform your dining experiences. A Feast of Ice and Fire is a labor of love by dedicated fans and amateur chefs Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and Sariann Lehrer, with the endorsement of George R. R. Martin himself. The book passionately recreates a vast array of cuisines from the Seven Kingdoms and beyond. Whether it's the opulent dishes from King's Landing, the hearty comfort foods of the North, or the exotic tastes from lands east of Westeros, there is something to tantalize every palate. These recipes, carefully adapted for contemporary kitchens, encourage culinary experimentation, allowing adventurous cooks to try authentic medieval meals as well. For those less daring, substitutions for fantastical ingredients ensure you won’t need to source dragon eggs or camel to enjoy a king's feast. With over 100 recipes organized by region, this book provides a gastronomic journey through Westeros. - The Wall: Discover delights like Rack of Lamb and Herbs, Pork Pie, or Mutton in Onion-Ale Broth. - The North offers comforting choices such as Beef and Bacon Pie, Honeyed Chicken, or Baked Apples. - The South showcases Cream Swans, Trout Wrapped in Bacon, and Blueberry Tarts. - In King's Landing, taste the famous Lemon Cakes, Quails Drowned in Butter, and Iced Milk with Honey. - From Dorne, enjoy Stuffed Grape Leaves and Duck with Lemons. - Across the Narrow Sea, try Tyroshi Honeyfingers or Honey-Spiced Locusts. Additionally, the book includes a guide on dining and entertaining in true Westeros fashion. Meticulously researched and richly detailed, it includes excerpts from all five books in the series and full-color photographs to enhance the experience. This cookbook is the missing piece for fans who yearn for the complete Westerosi experience—and a reminder that with winter coming, it's wise to indulge a little more. The foreword by George R. R. Martin adds a special touch to this culinary compendium.
