NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - 80 recipes inspired by the magical world of Dungeons & Dragons
“Ready a tall tankard of mead and brace yourself for a culinary journey to match any quest!”—Tom Morello, Rage Against the Machine
From the D&D experts behind Dungeons & Dragons Art & Arcana comes a cookbook that invites fantasy lovers to celebrate the unique culinary creations and traditions of their favorite fictional cultures. With this book, you can prepare dishes delicate enough to dine like elves and their drow cousins or hearty enough to feast like a dwarven clan or an orcish horde. All eighty dishes—developed by a professional chef—are delicious, easy to prepare, and composed of wholesome ingredients readily found in our world.
Heroes’ Feast includes recipes for snacking, such as Elven Bread, Iron Rations, savory Hand Pies, and Orc Bacon, as well as hearty vegetarian, meaty, and fish mains, such as Amphail Braised Beef, Hommlet Golden Brown Roasted Turkey, Drow Mushroom Steaks, and Pan-Fried Knucklehead Trout—all which pair perfectly with a side of Otik’s famous fried spiced potatoes. There are also featured desserts and cocktails—such as Heartlands Rose Apple and Blackberry Pie, Trolltide Candied Apples, Evermead, Potion of Restoration, and Goodberry Blend—and everything in between, to satisfy a craving for any adventure.
So far I like it! There is a nice selection of recipes for different skill levels (and price points) ranging from appetizers to desserts and drinks, well suited to make for gatherings. But that said it’s not very user friendly, especially for a level one cook unaccustomed to adventure of the culinary kind. Caveat: I only have the kindle and don’t know if the physical book is formatted differently. Firstly, unlike other cookbooks, or even online sources, there are no guides for the difficulty of each dish. Which I feel like could have easily been incorporated by either a difficulty rating on the page or even just in the index. WOTC could even have incorporated “notes” from Tavern keepers or famous characters from the realms like they have done for books like Volo’s and Tasha’s. Or a Monster manual type index entry with a recipes “CR” listed would have been cool. Secondly, there is not even an estimate of time needed or how many servings each recipe yields, and it assumes the reader has all equipment needed. So even if you carefully read the recipe before hand to know it might take 2 hours to cook a dish, and will require say a Dutch oven or candy thermometer, until you make it you don’t know if it feeds 4 people or 10. So unless your practicing each recipe before hand, it makes it very dicey( pun intended) to make something for a game day with your adventuring party. Again,a little note by the recipe title or in the index listing estimates of time, price range ( i.e. $-$$$ or copper-gold) of ingredients, and suggestions of what an “adventurer” should “equip” before tackling the recipe would have been great. Lastly my only other big issue is the lack of helpful/instructive photos. Most dish only have one picture of the final result and some aren’t pictured at all. I’m very much a visual learner, so it was difficult to judge how “done” say, a rice dish was with the only guide being the description “ tell it looks creamy” and one photograph of the finished dish. Even just old school line art of some of the prep steps would have been helpful in some cases. I will say the ingredient list are specific and helpful, i.e. listing particular types of oils for frying, and the written instructions are clear and detailed, step by step. As are the cook’s notes at the end of the recipe. I like the inclusion of the menus from different places, they not only list recipes in the book but others you can look up or create( I do want to make kinder kiffles!). So I’m definitely pleased with my purchase, but can’t recommend this to everyone, only seasoned adventurers should quest here with out a good guide.
My wife and I watch the show where they do many of these recipes. The book is really artwork holding great recipes. We just made the travelers stew and it was delicious. Well worth the money.
My adult son is a huge Dungeons & Dragons fan and he loved this book. Heroes' Feast is full of fun recipes, great pictures, and cool D&D stories that make you feel like you are eating in a fantasy world. The directions are easy to follow, the food tastes amazing, and it is just a really fun cookbook to have. You do not need to know anything about D&D to enjoy it, but if you do, it makes it even better. This has become one of our favorite books in the kitchen.
It's a fun book with good simple recipes. A few of them have a twist or a flare. I made travelers stew and iron rations for dinner and the d&d group loved it. It's worth mentioning that most of the recipes are twists or even direct copies of standard recipes you would find in a cookbook like The Joy of cooking. That's not necessarily a bad thing but I was hoping for a higher level of innovation in the cooking. For example some of the recipes were just d&d type names with a normal recipe. That said the book was definitely well made beautifully illustrated and fun to read.
We looked at this book in a retail store at twice the price of what we paid on Amazon. The child was very happy to receive it as a gift and my wallet is happy, too.
This was a gift for a huge D&D fan, and he absolutely LOVED it! The recipe book is filled with incredible dishes for both carnivores and vegetarians alike. His favorite part? The many era-inspired meals that truly immerse you in the Dungeons & Dragons experience. This cookbook is sure to become a staple in our home—we’re excited to feast D&D-style during our game nights from now on!
Quite a few decent recipes in this book, the "hand pies" has become a weekly favorite.
I bought this for a family member and we made some food from the book and it helps bring the DND game to life! We ended up making it for one of the last nights of our campaign. It was a great purchase and worth every cent!
Bought this one as a gift.Quality paper, immersive illustrations and most importantly, really creative recipes that actually work out really well. Haven't tried to prepare them myself but tasted a few :-)Recommended!
Book looked really nice.
Book was delivered on a rainy day, it was just placed in a box not plastic wrapped or anything so obviously the pages are now warped, other then that its fine
Very cool idea! A well executed offering that will have you cooking in no time. I'm a fan of this item and the show.Bring back chef Mike!
I absolutely love this book! I am a huge DnD fan and gamer. This is a perfect cook book for our DnD game nights and campaigns. Do yourself a favor and buy this book. Oh and you can not go wrong buying this cook book as a gift.
Great recipes and amazing photography all tied to Dungeons & Dragons. If you are a Gamer and a cook, then this is the book for you. Well worth the price tag!
This is the PERFECT gift for the DnDer in your life who also loves the kitchen. We gifted this to my brother for Christmas and everyone in the house has benefitted. From scrumptious mushroom breads to incredible chocolate chip and butterscotch cookies, there is no shortage of yummy, easily executable, and interesting recipes in this book. Highly, highly recommend.
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.
I admit that I initially snickered when Amazon suggested I might be interested in this book. Seriously?!? What would it even be? A book of recipes of inedible fantasy food? But the algorithms work (sometimes) and after looking into it deeper, I bought the spiral-bound edition so I could actually use it in the kitchen.I feel some reviewers may have missed the point. This is a DUNGEONS & DRAGONS COOKBOOK (read: guide to making food from an imaginary multiverse IRL. Seriously - WTF?!). The authors were thoughtful enough to make the recipes something an average cook could execute with varying degrees of difficulty while still being edible for an exclusively human audience. The end result is a practical cookbook that any D&D fan can use to make meals at home, food to share on game day, or a multi-course feast to incorporate into a campaign. It would have been super easy to put out a 5e supplement with a simple list of menu items divided by race and cross-referenced by region with a preface of how to Google recipes, but dungeon delvers and dragon slayers tend to be more creative. Less "Secrets To Flay Gordon Ramsey's Mind" and more "Diners, Dungeons, Drive-Ins, Dragons, and Dives", I am very happy with this collection of recipes that is immersed in the D&D-verse.I saw a review that called the D&D content "...bare minimum...D&D coat of paint on a cookbook". I can't disagree more. With a three-page background in the cuisine of each primary culture (human, elf, dwarf, and halfling), a five-page background of Uncommon Cuisine, a page on Elixirs and Ales, PLUS a few specific paragraphs on EVERY recipe to define it further (and an occasional hint for preparation), you get to learn from where each dish comes. I am casting Detect Thoughts to try to understand that review.I can't argue with the measurements being limited to imperial and not baker-friendly of ingredients like flour. Also, my copy showed no printing issues (the text was well spaced and the illustrations and photos fit perfectly with the text.)If you just want a great cookbook, this is probably not for you... UNLESS you love D&D. If you want a book that is going to help make you a wizard of ideas for the table (be it gaming or dining) you will probably enjoy this book.
I bought this book for myself, partly because it was going to be the last official book with Dragonlance content (that didn't wind up happening but its a great story to look up). The recipes are nothing new or exotic, and fairly easy to make for any home cook. More unusual ingredients (like juniper berries) are given instructions for substitutes. There are vegetarian options, but most of the entrees are meats. Overall it gives Joy of Cooking for nerds vibes. You wont get any bad or poorly conceived recipes, but nothing truly challenging or outstanding. As with the joy of cooking some experimentation with different ingredients or seasoning to your taste can push the basic recipes from good to great. i.e. For the sauerkraut and kielbasa recipe I added apple cider vinegar and chili oil to the sauerkraut and split and pan fried the sausage instead of boiling it in beer which made more complex and better meal.Pros:The book is durable (important for the kitchen)Well illustratedGreat D&D flavor from all the official settingsClear easy to follow instructionsHas all the hits! (chicken wings, pot pie, stews, cocktails, mac and cheese, brussels sprout salad, glazed salmon, etc)Cons:The layout is by race/species not by type of dish so hunting for a recipe can be annoying
There's two ways to talk about this book - as a cookbook, and as a D&D artifact.Starting with the cookbook - these are some very accessible recipes. Ingredients are largely affordable, and most are not difficult to prepare. The instructions are more than adequately explanatory - they really walk you through the process from start to finish. Dense paragraphs may make recipe usability a little daunting for inexperienced cooks...but admittedly, numbered steps would have broken the look and feel for this book (which is frankly just as important to this cookbook as the cooking part). Some recipes use shortcuts - like the hand pies which include pie crust as an ingredient versus walking you through making your own...that's not a quibble - just an indicator of the degree of difficulty for these recipes. Most of these recipes are 10 ingredients of fewer, many fit on a single page, and most include ingredients found at any local grocery store.But blah blah blah, let's talk about this as a D&D artifact so that I can get to the five-star part.WOW! Just wow. Wowwy wow wow. I think if I had to pick a favorite thing right now, it's the pictures of the food which not only succeed in making the dishes look absolutely irresistible, but also depict the food served in wooden trenchers, pewter goblets, and eldritch-looking flasks. Fantasy photography can be very "cheesy" (and not like a deep gnome trillimac pod...) - but the imagery in this book never comes off as excessively posed or fake...you really get the impression that you've just stepped into a traveler's inn or Dwarven hall or Halfling burrow. It's all lovely, it all tells a story, and it is all very convincing.The storytelling is, for me, what's best about this book. This book also gives Dungeon Masters more fodder (sorry, I'm full of puns today) for their in-game transactions. Why just serve "soup" at the inn when adventurers could serve "Hardbuckler Stew?" Beyond simple name substitutions, brief explorations of elven, dwarven, halfling, and human cuisine shed light on how the game (and its players) understand these fantastic cultures. "Heroe's Feast" brings real nuts-and-bolts (or should I say farm-to-table?) life to the Dungeons and Dragons multiverse.In sum: Good, easy-to-make, largely affordable recipes creatively photographed and rounded out with lore and art. A great introductory+ cookbook for beginners, and a delightful immersion tool for gamers.
