I feel like it'd inaccurate for me to give it a full five stars as I didn't actually make anything in this book, but it was a nice read. I read the blog as they were making dishes, and would probably be more likely to refer to that for recipes though it looks like in process of publishing, some recipes are book-only alas (makes sense, though- got to have something worth paying for, after all). Having medieval versions & modern versions are excellent, though I do wonder if we can really call anything 'authentic' if from a fantasy verse? They do an excellent job at translating old cookery book recipes, though, especially adapting for a modern kitchen. Even if you're not a fan of the books/show the recipes in here are fantastic. I like the fact that they've given you both a historical version and the modern version of the recipes. I've found quite a few recipes to add to my collection and those who are more adventurous (from across the Narrow Sea with snake and locust) or those who's husband won't die if he eats fish (King's landing has a good amount of seafood recipes) will probably pick up even more. Don't forget the lemoncakes! Recipes are arranged by what regions you would commonly find them in the realm, not by type of dish, which was fine with me. Especially since there's an index, a table of contents, and the beginning of each section tells exactly what's there. And for those who have trouble designing their own menus, the kind authors have done that for you. And even if you choose to ignore the prepared menus, they gave suggested pairings with each recipe. They've also included a little snippet from the books regarding each recipe. Very happy with this book. Our family recently hosted a potluck medieval/Game-of-Thrones themed party. Of all the food that was shared, the following came from this cookbook: lemonsweet, beer bread, leek soup, Sansa salad, buttered beets, pork pie, honey cakes, and fruit tarts. All the items were delicious, but most of the guests chose the pork pie, made with ginger, dried currants and dates, as their favourite. The cookbook was well laid out, with photographs of all the dishes (even the honey-spiced locusts, which we left off our menu). The recipes were easy to follow, and there were both medieval and modern versions for many of the dishes. I really enjoyed the cooking and the meal itself, especially the fact that it involved mostly natural unprocessed ingredients. However, the amount of butter and egg yolks that went into the meal was mind-boggling. This is not the type of food to indulge in on a regular basis, but it made for a fun evening. This cookbook is perhaps not the one to choose if you’re mainly interested in authentic Medieval cookery, but if you’re a Game of Thrones fan, you’ll probably enjoy it very much. It includes an introduction from G. R. R. Martin himself and many quotes from his books. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:Ever wonder what itâ??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 Nightâ??s Watch, or indulge in honeyfingers with Daenerys Targaryen? George R. R. Martinâ??s bestselling saga A Song of Ice and Fire and the runaway hit HBO series Game of Thrones are renowned for bringing Westerosâ??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 Lehrerâ??and endorsed by George R. R. Martin himselfâ??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 Kingâ??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, thereâ??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 wonâ??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: â?˘ The Wall: Rack of Lamb and Herbs; Pork Pie; Mutton in Onion-Ale Broth; Mulled Wine; Pease Porridge â?˘ The North: Beef and Bacon Pie; Honeyed Chicken; Aurochs with Roasted Leeks; Baked Apples â?˘ The South: Cream Swans; Trout Wrapped in Bacon; Stewed Rabbit; Sisterâ??s Stew; Blueberry Tarts â?˘ Kingâ??s Landing: Lemon Cakes; Quails Drowned in Butter; Almond Crusted Trout; Bowls of Brown; Iced Milk with Honey â?˘ Dorne: Stuffed Grape Leaves; Duck with Lemons; Chickpea Paste â?˘ Across the Narrow Sea: Biscuits and Bacon; Tyroshi Honeyfingers; Wintercakes; Honey-Spiced Locusts Thereâ??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 photographs guaranteed to whet your appetite, this is the companion to the blockbuster phenomenon that millions of stomachs have been growling for.

It is not. This is a wonderful cookbook with a bunch of nice recipes. I have only tried a few of them, but they were wonderful (Crusty white bread is very tasty, especially if you eat it when it is still warm from the oven.
I had some problems with the measurements, as I am european, but that is hardly the fault of the book. My only factual problem with the book is that all the main dishes are too much for one or even two people. The emphasis really is on Feast of Ice and Fire.
Still, I will try out some more dishes. And: This book is not exclusively for good cooks. I am a pretty inexperienced cook and had no problems so far.
So, yeah, I can recommend this cookbook. ( )
