Publisher's Synopsis
Anyone who has read the Lord of the Rings books or watched Peter Jackson's film trilogy is familiar with Middle-Earth. The universe is the result of decades of creation, reflection, and correction by the incredible author J.R.R. Tolkien. His literary work is so detailed that readers and fans can almost believe they are walking the lands of the Shire, Rivendell, Gondor, and the Lonely Mountain. Middle-Earth inhabitants, Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves, and Men have rich cultures and traditions, including the culinary arts. Cooking, eating, and feasting make frequent appearances in the books and the films (who can forget Bilbo's 111th birthday party in Hobbiton, Gimli and Legolas' drinking contest in the Golden Hall of Meduseld, or Sam's heartfelt praise of potatoes while travelling through Ithilien).
This cookbook brings the recipes of Hobbits, Elves, and Dwarves out of the realm of ink and paper into our plates. Directly inspired by the words of Tolkien and Peter Jackson, the cookbook will lead you there and back again on your very own journey through Middle-Earth. Easy to make and bursting with unique flavors, the delicious recipes like Gimli's Souffle, Ent Draught, and Trout from the Brandywine river will accompany you on your quest. You will look at your plate and think: "I'm going on an adventure."
