The Geeky Chef Strikes Back: Even More Unofficial Recipes from Minecraft, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Twin Peaks, and More!:

Description

Comic-lover, avid gamer, and sci-fi and fantasy fanatic, Cassandra Reeder, author of The Geeky Chef Cookbook, loves to cook. A bona-fide mega-geek, she started The Geeky Chef blog in 2008 where she creates real-life recipes for all the delicious foods you've seen in your favourite sci-fi and fantasy movies, TV shows, and video games. Featuring recipes from TV shows like Breaking Bad, The X-Files, and Firefly, video games like Grand Theft Auto, Minecraft, Fallout IV, and loads more, this geeky recipe collection spans the spectrum of geek taste and culture. Fantasy foods are fantasy no longer! If you still watch the new Star Wars obsessively, if you were more excited about the Mulder and Scully reunion than your birthday, and your stomach actually growls when you watch the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dig into their pizza, then The Geeky Chef Strikes Back! is for you! Now you can actually try the Ent Draught from Lord of the Rings, the Beef and Bacon Pie from A Song of Ice and Fire, and Marchpane Cake from His Dark Materials with this delicious cookbook that makes all your favourite fantasy foods come to life. Its time to get your geek on in the kitchen!

The first fictional food recipe Cassandra Reeder made was Tree Star Cookies inspired by The Land Before Time at age six. Her geeky nature combined with her love of cooking led to the creation of geekychef.com. The goal of Geeky Chef is to help the geek community bring their food fantasies to reality. So if you've ever found yourself drooling over Pumpkin Pasties in Harry Potter, curious about Lembas Bread from Lord of the Rings or wondering if the cake is really a lie, this blog is for you. Each dish is thoroughly researched to make the final product taste and/or look as close to the source material as possible. Of course, everyone will imagine differently, but Cassandra hopes to give dedicated geeks a run for their tastebuds. Cassandra currently lives in Portland with her fiance and pet parrot. Despite what conclusions you may have come to, she is not actually a pirate. Well, she is mostly not actually a pirate.
