There are some lovely-sounding recipes in this book， and I'm hoping to try a few this summer。 As measurements are metric and oven temperatures are in the British system （a temperature in Celsius and then Gas Mark）， I'll need to do a bit of conversion。 I was particularly pleased to see Lembas are made as a kind of cornbread， one of my favorite foods！ There are also plenty of beverages， ranging from tea to mead and mulled wine。 There are some lovely-sounding recipes in this book， and I'm hoping to try a few this summer。 As measurements are metric and oven temperatures are in the British system （a temperature in Celsius and then Gas Mark）， I'll need to do a bit of conversion。 I was particularly pleased to see Lembas are made as a kind of cornbread， one of my favorite foods！ There are also plenty of beverages， ranging from tea to mead and mulled wine。 。。。more

I was really hoping to like this， being quite a Tolkien fan。 My initial reaction to thumbing through it was very negative。 I strongly dislike most of the illustrations。 Looking in the back， there are over a dozen illustrators credited。 There is everything from landscapes， to black and white coloring page drawings， to bizarre renditions of fruits and vegetables。 No photos of any of the food。 Recipes don't quite fit with the pieces of story they are meant to represent。 Gollum's Raw Fish becomes a I was really hoping to like this， being quite a Tolkien fan。 My initial reaction to thumbing through it was very negative。 I strongly dislike most of the illustrations。 Looking in the back， there are over a dozen illustrators credited。 There is everything from landscapes， to black and white coloring page drawings， to bizarre renditions of fruits and vegetables。 No photos of any of the food。 Recipes don't quite fit with the pieces of story they are meant to represent。 Gollum's Raw Fish becomes a complex sushi recipe with all kinds of things Gollum would never eat。 Beorn's Honey Cakes are actually banana muffins。 There are other Tolkien cookbooks out there。 I will be returning this one to the library。 。。。more

I've tried 4 recipes and they have all been great！ The spiced apple butter will be a new kitchen staple and the mead mule is my new favorite summer drink！ I've tried 4 recipes and they have all been great！ The spiced apple butter will be a new kitchen staple and the mead mule is my new favorite summer drink！ 。。。more

A family member gave me this for my birthday because I'm a big Tolkien fan， and it is a gorgeous book。 I've already made two of the recipes， and they were well written， easy to follow， and just good。 A family member gave me this for my birthday because I'm a big Tolkien fan， and it is a gorgeous book。 I've already made two of the recipes， and they were well written， easy to follow， and just good。 。。。more

This book was absolutely beautiful， and the author's deep knowledge of Tolkien was clear。 I enjoyed reading it immensely。 That said， I've tried a couple recipes， and they both turned out badly。 I'm willing to admit part of the problem might have been my amateur baking skills。 I also think there are some errors in the recipe ingredient ratios。 I suspect it has something to do with a conversion from British to American measurements。 If I try these recipes again， I'll be making adjustments。 This book was absolutely beautiful， and the author's deep knowledge of Tolkien was clear。 I enjoyed reading it immensely。 That said， I've tried a couple recipes， and they both turned out badly。 I'm willing to admit part of the problem might have been my amateur baking skills。 I also think there are some errors in the recipe ingredient ratios。 I suspect it has something to do with a conversion from British to American measurements。 If I try these recipes again， I'll be making adjustments。 。。。more

This book is truly a treasure。 As a big Tolien fan I was prepared for a possible disappointment， but I was pleasantly surprised。 This book has wonderful drawings and every chapter and recipe is accompanied by information on how and why it is important for or related to a certain part or certain inhabitants from Middle Earth。 So that all is already great， but I can also promise you that the recipes are wonderful as well even for a kitchen elf like me。。。 :）

I was given this whimsical cookbook featuring recipes inspired by meals described by the works of J。 R。 R。 Tolkien as a gift for my birthday。 The recipes are creative takes on the food mentioned in the books。 The pages are decorated with gorgeous illustrations from the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings。 My only criticism is that I wish there were more than just a few pictures of the recipes themselves。 All in all this was one of my favourite gifts that I received for my birthday this year。
