Gut gerüstet: Kettenhemd und -Rüstung selbst gemacht (German)

Best-selling author George R. R. Martin may not be a top chef, but he is well capable of coming up with all the more refined delicacies for the heroes and villains populating his fantasy saga "A Song of Ice and Fire". His detailed descriptions of opulent feasts, exotic cuisine, and mundane, simple dishes make the world of Westeros come alive in culinary terms, too.But what do the juicy roasts from Winterfell, the savoury soups served to the brothers of the Night's Watch, and the exquisite pastries from King's Landing taste like? Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and Sariann Lehrer rose to the challenge to breathe delicious life into more than 100 of these dishes. Along the way, they pored over medieval cookbooks in order to find recipies that get us as close as possible to the treats from Westeros, and they also created contemporary counterparts from scratch. These recipes allow you to feast like a Baratheon, Targaryen, Lanninster, or Stark – so get the ingredients and get cooking – and be quick about it. For winter is coming...224 pages, 21 x 20 cm, hardcover, ISBN 978-3-938922-43-9Please note: this book is available in German only.
