A Feast of Ice and Fire
An Official Companion Cookbook to A Game of Thrones
Includes a Foreword by George R. R. Martin
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? 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, with 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
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. There are 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).
Exhaustively researched and reverently detailed, accompanied by passages from all five books in the series and photographs guaranteed to whet your appetite, A Feast of Ice and Fire is the companion to the blockbuster phenomenon that millions of stomachs have been growling for.

In this cookbook's introduction, George R.R. Martin ("A Song of Ice and Fire") confesses that his skill with "meaty nouns" does not translate to the kitchen. He's left the task of realizing his elaborately described dishes to Monroe-Cassel and Lehrer, amateur cooks who publish The Inn at the Crossroads (innatthecrossroads.com), a popular blog that pairs medieval and modern recipes with passages from Martin's best-selling series (the inspiration for HBO's Game of Thrones). These ardent fans offer hearty recipes for Oatcakes, Onions in Gravy, Quails Drowned in Butter, Lemon Cakes, and more. VERDICT Expect demand from Martin's legions of fans. The authors' commitment is commendable; not even Honeyed Locusts are omitted.
