It's a shame that I'm the type of person who could cause a minor explosion were she to even attempt to use a microwave. Because all of these dishes look absolutely mouth-watering.Even when there's a modern alternative offered, the medieval/traditional recipe just looks so much more delectable.In that magical alternate universe where I have the time and skill to cook, these would all be my dream dishes.(And how could I not love a cookbook whose recipes call for pigeons, rattlesnakes, and locusts?) This is a companion book to the fantasy series by George R. R. Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire. It focuses on the cooking of Westeros, divided by region. All the recipes are based on food descriptions in the books. The authors researched medieval and Renaissance cooking as a basis for the recipes. They also give "modern" versions of the recipes more suited to today's cook. It's quite an interesting and fun book to read.
I love making the modern beef and bacon pie from this, and my husband loves the roast chicken.
