REVIEW
I’m not one to typically leave reviews for products, but I have to say that this book not only met my expectations, but exceeded them. What I hoped for was a nice quality book with some recipes from the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons. What I received however, was much more. On the surface, the book is large, and stunning quality with beautiful artwork that adorns the cover. The contents are very special however, as they not only give you a plethora of recipes you can create, but they also give you both an overview of the book’s purpose, as well as inspiration on how to incorporate the recipes found inside into your ongoing campaign. It also categorizes all of the recipes by where they originate. You’ll find recipes in sections dedicated to Human, Elven, Dwarven, and Halfling cuisine. And even another section with single dishes that originate from the cultures of some of D&D’s more obscure races like Tieflings, Dragonborn, and Tabaxi. Accompanying all of these recipes are history and lore on the purpose each dish served within each of their cultures, respectively. An example recipe being a specialty dish served within the Elven community as the final piece of their meal. Appropriately named “Meal’s End.” Between each section, you’ll also find the menus for some of DND’s most treasured Taverns and Inns. Were you ever curious to what dishes you could find on the menu for the Yawning Portal? And as you turn the page to each new section, you’ll find even more stunning artwork, along with the history and etiquette of how each culture’s meals are prepared, served, and dined upon. I used this book as a special part of my previous campaign’s final session. Letting it be a surprise to my players to find authentic cuisine represented from each of their cultures. Not only was each recipe loved by us all, but they’re truly unique from one another. It’s not cheap, shameless labeling on normal food dishes along the lines of “Elven Mac N’ Cheese.” Each dish feels properly sorted by lifestyle and unique tastes. Dwarven dishes are hearty, meaty, and slow roasted due to their lengthy life cycles. Elven dishes are light, sometimes fruity, and earthy. And every recipe feels special, and deliciously uncommon. So take it from me, this book not only deserves a spot on your shelf, but it should sit right beside your Dungeon Master’s Guide and Player’s Handbook. It’s that special. It has numerous, delicious dishes for you to prepare, but also inspiration and guides for how to incorporate food, their history, and dining etiquette into your stories. Making this book one heck of an immersive storytelling device to further add flavor to your campaigns.
