A great cookbook for the old English style of cooking. Very fun to bring out for a meal departure from the norm :)

I actually haven't even read Game of Thrones, but when I saw it I was like "ooh, cookbook!" Needless to say, I found it lacking and most of the recipes I wouldn't even dream of cooking up. Maybe I would have a different opinion if I'd read Game of Thrones but oh well. I didn't really enjoy this cookbook.

This book contains recipes inspired by the Game of Thrones series. And they're heavy. Aside from a few Dornish recipes (think Mediterranean inspired - like hummus etc), they are mostly meat and potatoes (and grasshoppers) types of dishes. Even the desserts seem like they'd be thick and stodgy. Some ingredients seem not too accessible - goose, auroch, beef heart).

The last chapter contains drinks, including some homebrewed beers. There is an appendix that walks through a home brewing process.

I have not read the books, but I did watch the series. So some of these recipes, I'm not too sure of how they actually fit into the universe.

The official cookbook is better and has most of the same recipes done in the modern AND medieval style. Would have liked this better had the other book not been so good.
