Cookbooks take many approaches to inspiring readers to try new foods or to revisit familiar ones as a way to find common ground, especially amongst people with a shared fandom. In this episode, Kim and Leigh discuss “Heroes’ Feast,” the official cookbook for the popular Dungeons & Dragons game as an example of how fandom-based cookbooks blend food and immersive storytelling to unite communities and strengthen family bonds.
I have a cookbook on pre-order that is related to Magic the Gathering. My husband Hector plays the game, and I hope to impress him with a "Magical" birthday feast.
For my own fandom, I would love to develop a collection of recipes inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Mushrooms, eggs, mutton, bread & butter, tea - there's lots of "food" in his books!
I love this episode! I agree that we are all seeking to build community and shared interest in a series or game is such a big way to do that. When the food component is added, it goes to another level and one that is very personal as we are tasting the books or the game!
I remember when you and Eric came to Pie Cottage, Leigh, and we made Hare Pie from Outlander Kitchen Cookbook 1. What fun we had sharing our love of the series, food, and time together.
