Fill Your Middle in Middle Earth
In J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth books like The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, food is in many ways as much a part of that realm as Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs. From Tom Bombadil's bountiful table to the Green Dragon to Lothlorien, Tolkien took great care to describe food, its importance, and its charm.
In this Cookbook, hobbits' foodways take center stage. The book covers historic recipes revised to fit Tolkien's Shire, and you'll find the themes made famous by these food-loving folks: Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevenses, Luncheon, Afternoon Tea, Supper, and Dinner.
Make a Middle Earth feast using ingredients you can find in your own magical realm (your kitchen and the grocery store). Featuring beautiful illustrations and comforting fare, this is a fun cookbook for the Tolkien fan in your life.
Written by Tolkien scholar Astrid Tuttle Winegar, this cookbook contains eleventy-one recipes sparkling with wit and charm. The chapters correspond to different kinds of restaurants that you might find in fantasy realms.
