Gorgeously put together and with recipes I can't wait to try。。。 just unfortunately not with my D&D group because almost every 'mains' recipe is heavily meat based。 Ah well。 Gorgeously put together and with recipes I can't wait to try。。。 just unfortunately not with my D&D group because almost every 'mains' recipe is heavily meat based。 Ah well。 。。。more

Beautifully crafted book and recipes。 Having the lore included was awesome！

I wish it had cook times listed and more pictures of the finished food。 I honestly don't have a visual reference for some of the recipes and because they have high fantasy names， I'm kinda boned at guessing。 I wish it had cook times listed and more pictures of the finished food。 I honestly don't have a visual reference for some of the recipes and because they have high fantasy names， I'm kinda boned at guessing。 。。。more

Not only is this a fun book， but the recipes are great！ I've already made several of them （one of them twice） and have a list of what I want to cook next。 Now I just need to find another D&D group so I can start playing again。 Not only is this a fun book， but the recipes are great！ I've already made several of them （one of them twice） and have a list of what I want to cook next。 Now I just need to find another D&D group so I can start playing again。 。。。more

Fantastic and fun， this cookbook features recipes created from Dungeons & Dragons using modern ingredients and cooking methods。 I made the Halfling Sweet Nibblers （cookies） and they were delicious！

The best part about this cookbook is the drinks or ‘potions’ at the end！ They are absolutely delicious。 We made The Mindflayer and the Potion of Resoration。 I almost wish this was just a cocktail book！ The recipes are fairly basic and not too inventive in themselves— the joy of the book comes from the DND world， not the actual recipes。 The cookbook is divided into sections: Human Cuisine， Elven Cuisine， Halfling Cuisine， and Uncommon Cuisine。 I also enjoyed the ‘Hero’s Feast’ they put together f The best part about this cookbook is the drinks or ‘potions’ at the end！ They are absolutely delicious。 We made The Mindflayer and the Potion of Resoration。 I almost wish this was just a cocktail book！ The recipes are fairly basic and not too inventive in themselves— the joy of the book comes from the DND world， not the actual recipes。 The cookbook is divided into sections: Human Cuisine， Elven Cuisine， Halfling Cuisine， and Uncommon Cuisine。 I also enjoyed the ‘Hero’s Feast’ they put together for each DND race。 Easter eggs are bountiful。。。 there are menus for famous DND establishments between sections。 Finally— there are some nice vegetarian options （most of them in Elven cuisine）， but several can be easily adapted。 Not a lot in here for gluten-free or vegan folks。。。 except the cocktails which are delicious。 。。。more

The minute I saw this gorgeous-looking， delightfully geeky cookbook， I knew I had to give it a look。 Even if I never made any of the recipes in said cookbook， it would be fun to drool over the recipes， and to see how the creators brought to life various foods from the worlds of D&D or adjusted real-world recipes to fit the world。 And I have to say that they did a fantastic job -- this cookbook will please adventurers and chefs alike， with plenty of culinary tidbits about the various D&D peoples The minute I saw this gorgeous-looking， delightfully geeky cookbook， I knew I had to give it a look。 Even if I never made any of the recipes in said cookbook， it would be fun to drool over the recipes， and to see how the creators brought to life various foods from the worlds of D&D or adjusted real-world recipes to fit the world。 And I have to say that they did a fantastic job -- this cookbook will please adventurers and chefs alike， with plenty of culinary tidbits about the various D&D peoples and a variety of recipes to please just about any pallet。The recipes in this book aren't divided by food type -- most cookbooks I've encountered divide dishes in the usual categories of appetizers， salads， breads， main dishes， desserts， drinks， etc。 Instead the book has five sections， each dedicated to the playable peoples of D&D -- humans， elves， dwarves， halflings， and a miscellaneous section for other races （dragonkin， tieflings， orcs， aasimar， etc。） -- with a sixth section for drinks and cocktails。 And among the recipes are gorgeous photos that not only showcase the food in mouthwatering detail but are decorated with props and weapons to look like they emerged directly from one's D&D campaign。 There's also a selection of artwork and flavor text from other novels and sourcebooks， information on the culinary habits of the various races， and ideas for incorporating food in your D&D campaign （chief among them the advice to eat your big meal before or after your campaign， to avoid having to fish a die out of the fondue pot or a similar mishap。。。）。The recipes themselves seem to call for some fancier ingredients than I normally cook with， but hopefully one can substitute something similar but slightly less expensive without altering the recipes。 And some of the recipes are real-world dishes under different names （elven cherrybread is basically fruitcake， miner's pie is shepherd's pie， hogs in bedrolls are pigs-in-a-blanket， etc。）。 But that doesn't mean the dishes themselves aren't delicious， and none of them look overly complex to assemble or cook。 And in all honesty， I can't wait to try a colorful Woodelf Salad （complete with edible flowers！）， a mug of Evermead， some spicy Tiefling kebobs， or a piping-hot handpie。If you like Dungeons and Dragons， cooking， or both， this book is for you。 And it makes a great gift for a loved one who enjoys role-playing games and good food。。。 and who doesn't enjoy good food？ 。。。more

While I haven't read this book cover-to-cover （It is a cookbook， not a story book）， I have cooked a couple of recipe's in it。 They have come out really tasty （in my opinion）， and I'm looking forward to making more recipes。 While I haven't read this book cover-to-cover （It is a cookbook， not a story book）， I have cooked a couple of recipe's in it。 They have come out really tasty （in my opinion）， and I'm looking forward to making more recipes。 。。。more

I read a lot of cookbooks and usually don't ever get around to actually trying any of the recipes， but we ended up making 4 different recipes from Heroes' Feast before I returned it to the library。 Not only was everything delicious but it was an entertaining read。 The recipes are divided according to which race inspired the dish， including main sections for humans， dwarves， elves， and halflings， plus miscellaneous rarer races。 Each chapter gives background on the races' habits and cultures inclu I read a lot of cookbooks and usually don't ever get around to actually trying any of the recipes， but we ended up making 4 different recipes from Heroes' Feast before I returned it to the library。 Not only was everything delicious but it was an entertaining read。 The recipes are divided according to which race inspired the dish， including main sections for humans， dwarves， elves， and halflings， plus miscellaneous rarer races。 Each chapter gives background on the races' habits and cultures including how that influences their recipes。 Also included are ideas for integrating the recipes into your game sessions， menus for well-known taverns in various Dungeons and Dragons settings， magical cooking tips， and special fantasy ingredients/ substitutions。 。。。more

The organization is clever， but not particularly helpful。 Every recipe we have cooked has been tasty， if a lot more work than we are used to。

The recopies themselves are ok， but there is far to much filler material delving into backstory and minutia that adds nothing to the cooking or the reading。

Such a fun recipe book！ I hope to use this for birthday parties and potential D&D Campaigns because these recipes look delicious and fun。 Elven， Dwarven， Halfling， Human， and more mythical races are all represented in the food and drinks。 Makes me feel like I am in The Lord of the Rings。

Haven’t made any of the recipes yet， but this book is really fun！ I love the lore they provided for each recipe; it’s perfect for any fan of tabletop RPGs。 The drawings and photos are gorgeous！ Great work done by the art team。 The instructions for each recipe seem very thorough so I think that will help when making the meals。

Beautiful art and photography with drool worthy recipes that I can’t wait to try out。 I highly recommend this gamers and cooks alike the recipes are clear and concise with notes and tips for the specific recipes。 The recipes range from comfort food to party dishes with cocktails and beverages。 I picked up my copy at my local game store and I hope you do too。

This is an extremely charming cookbook with a lot of charm and really beautiful photography。 We've tried several of the recipes already and they're very good - definitely worthwhile picking up if you're into D&D。 This is an extremely charming cookbook with a lot of charm and really beautiful photography。 We've tried several of the recipes already and they're very good - definitely worthwhile picking up if you're into D&D。 。。。more

I got this book as a birthday present and I am super excited to try a lot of these recipes。 Originally， there was a slight concern that the bulk of the book would be stews and bread， but there's actually a really nice variety here。 In addition， the book comes with a bunch of handy notes about substitutions， etc。 in case all the necessary ingredients aren't handy to you。 My biggest issue with this book， and the reason it lost a star from me， is the lack of pictures。 There's a ton of great art in I got this book as a birthday present and I am super excited to try a lot of these recipes。 Originally， there was a slight concern that the bulk of the book would be stews and bread， but there's actually a really nice variety here。 In addition， the book comes with a bunch of handy notes about substitutions， etc。 in case all the necessary ingredients aren't handy to you。 My biggest issue with this book， and the reason it lost a star from me， is the lack of pictures。 There's a ton of great art in the book， but many of the recipes lack a picture of the finished product which would have been nice to have included。 Overall， I'm very excited about this book and I look forward to trying some of these recipes soon。 。。。more

The best sections are Halfling recipes， the drinks， and then the Uncommon recipes in that order。 I enjoyed the little bits of trivia sprinkled throughout （which I probably annoyed my dnd discord group by throwing out random tidbits）。 What I didn’t enjoy was the generalizations about the races。 Come on， have you not learned how annoying this is by now？ With the inclusion of a handful of qualifiers it could have been so much better。 The recipes are overall probably about medium difficulty。 They ar The best sections are Halfling recipes， the drinks， and then the Uncommon recipes in that order。 I enjoyed the little bits of trivia sprinkled throughout （which I probably annoyed my dnd discord group by throwing out random tidbits）。 What I didn’t enjoy was the generalizations about the races。 Come on， have you not learned how annoying this is by now？ With the inclusion of a handful of qualifiers it could have been so much better。 The recipes are overall probably about medium difficulty。 They are not for beginners （bc of various equipment needed and special ingredients） but you don’t have to be a chef to make most of this stuff。 I would like to get a hard copy for myself！ 。。。more

When I was growing up， playing Dungeons and Dragons was suspicious。 It was the game of devil-worshippers and occultists that all good Baptist adolescents should avoid。 Which I totally did if you're reading this review， Mom and Dad。 Anyhow， forty years later Dungeons & Dragons has released a cookbook and the only way this product can be more mundane is if they release "Dungeons & Dragons Cereal - part of this nutritious breakfast！" It boggles the mind how far things have gone。The book is split in When I was growing up， playing Dungeons and Dragons was suspicious。 It was the game of devil-worshippers and occultists that all good Baptist adolescents should avoid。 Which I totally did if you're reading this review， Mom and Dad。 Anyhow， forty years later Dungeons & Dragons has released a cookbook and the only way this product can be more mundane is if they release "Dungeons & Dragons Cereal - part of this nutritious breakfast！" It boggles the mind how far things have gone。The book is split into different sections， including recipes by race including Humans， Elves， Dwarves， Halflings， and Other - the last being all the various weird species in this fantasy world - as well as a section on mixing tavern drinks。 The description of the various dishes is written as if describing how the different peoples enjoy their meals and how this or that recipe demonstrates that aspect。 This can be fun if you are playing a game， but perhaps a bit unnecessary if one just wants to try their recipe for onion rings （which according to this book is a favorite of dwarves。 Who knew？）The recipes themselves are good and workable。 I am halfway pleased that so many feature leeks which I admit is one of my favorite vegetables due to its amazingly wonderful aroma， however due to onion allergies we don't cook with them so the recipe becomes a slight tease。 No leeks for you old man！ Anyhow， I have found on a couple it's best to cut the salt。 At least one in particular used a lot and we spent a lot of time drinking afterwards。The illustrations of the food are well-presented， in some cases doing their best to keep in the fantasy theme。 There are a lot of inn-type backgrounds for humans， forest or garden for elves， rocks for dwarves， homey backgrounds for halflings， etc。 At least they ran with the theme which I guess they need in order for it to be a D&D cookbook。There's some good technique in the book but little instruction behind the technique which I would imagine to be a good idea given much of my DnD days involved healthy meals of bags of chips and 64oz。 cups of soda。 A little more explanation of why we might be doing could go a long way。 However， if you're merely competent in the kitchen and are looking for some interesting foods， this book will do。 。。。more

I've never been really interested in cooking， BUT when I got this book， I was super excited about cooking！ Weird， I know。。。The recipes look tasty and not too difficult to prepare。 And the lore around them is like that extra I needed to finally turn on the oven。 Like， why prepare mulled wine if you can prepare Dwarven Mulled Wine？The cherry on top for me is the Yawning Portal menu。 I've visited that tavern so many times in so many different adventures that makes me want to taste it all！Anyway， be I've never been really interested in cooking， BUT when I got this book， I was super excited about cooking！ Weird， I know。。。The recipes look tasty and not too difficult to prepare。 And the lore around them is like that extra I needed to finally turn on the oven。 Like， why prepare mulled wine if you can prepare Dwarven Mulled Wine？The cherry on top for me is the Yawning Portal menu。 I've visited that tavern so many times in so many different adventures that makes me want to taste it all！Anyway， best cooking book for a D&D fan！ 。。。more

I think this is the best cookbook I have ever read！ Actually I think that this is the only cookbook I have ever read to cover to cover。 1。 I am super excited to try a lot of these recipes。 It was really interesting to read them and see which races my food tastes line up。 I am an odd mix of halfling and elf。 Most of the recipes are user friendly and the ingredients are fairly common （important to me since I live in an isolated area）。 The D&D flavoured introductions to each recipe really made this I think this is the best cookbook I have ever read！ Actually I think that this is the only cookbook I have ever read to cover to cover。 1。 I am super excited to try a lot of these recipes。 It was really interesting to read them and see which races my food tastes line up。 I am an odd mix of halfling and elf。 Most of the recipes are user friendly and the ingredients are fairly common （important to me since I live in an isolated area）。 The D&D flavoured introductions to each recipe really made this a great cookbook。 It tied it into the theme so nicely and made me really happy。 2。 I LOVED the flavour text about each races foodways prior to their recipe chapters。 I teach about the cultural importance of food in some of my classes so I actually found this really fun。 The entries， for me， added a depth to the races and sent new character ideas tumbling through my head。 I really cannot express how much I thoroughly enjoyed this。 。。。more

Every cookbook these days has plenty of stories and anecdotes。 This one just draws upon decades of D&D lore。 Not a cookbook for every day cooking but besides the great illustrations and lore the recipes themselves are very well written。 Solid， detailed instructions with helpful tips and techniques highlighted as well as in most cases offering up great alternatives and substitutions。 While most of the savory recipes in this book are for omnivores the book includes multiple recipes for vegetarians Every cookbook these days has plenty of stories and anecdotes。 This one just draws upon decades of D&D lore。 Not a cookbook for every day cooking but besides the great illustrations and lore the recipes themselves are very well written。 Solid， detailed instructions with helpful tips and techniques highlighted as well as in most cases offering up great alternatives and substitutions。 While most of the savory recipes in this book are for omnivores the book includes multiple recipes for vegetarians。 I haven’t yet cooked any of the recipes， and more than a few will probably have to wait until I can once again host people in my home。 But until then there are a bunch of recipes I will try to make soon for my wife （who eats chicken but not pork or lamb or beef etc）。 However having more than a few （indeed quite a lot actually） recipes that I would like to cook and cook soon is a sign of a successful and useful cookbook 。。。more
