There are 125 mouth-watering recipes in all, including fantastic dishes suggested by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher, George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice, N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth Trilogy, Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time, and many others. Some dishes are well-known - ones that passionate fans have long wished they could taste (Elven Lembas bread, anyone?). Others capture the mood and emotions of a particularly memorable scene, such as the meal that was eaten prior to Game of Thrones' fan favorite Battle of the Bastards. Accompanying each recipe is an introductory essay that shines a bit of light on the tales, heroes, villains or histories that inspired it. Readers will also find sidebars and features that provide even more intriguing insights, trivia and fantasy-related fun. Nearly 50 illustrations appear throughout, rendered by noted artist Tim Foley, whose eye-catching scratchboard style captures the look and feel of classic Medieval woodcut printing techniques. The book itself is an artifact of sorts, with faded, time-worn pages and a leatherette cover, lending the overall package the feel of an ancient grimoire - perhaps discovered in a long-forgotten crypt or wizard's castle. Either way, it's a cookbook treasure sure to please hungry readers of any realm.
