I'll pass on the Orcish dishes.. Don't trust the meat.

Couldn't be worse than most food served in institutions (prisons, boarding schools, public hospitals, etc).

Meat is meat

"Rat au Vin?"

"That's rat that's bin run over by a van."

Interesting, though I'm not sure I'd really want to try any of their recipes.

This is the only D&D book I'm likely to buy all year. I may get it early to see if it's worth making it a Christmas present for all the nieces and nephews. It's funny, and it may be a decent cookbook.

$35 USD is a little steep, and buying cookbooks when we have the internet is always a little silly.

Upon closer inspection we see A) the three authors are D&D experts, not chefs, B) all the reviews are on nerd sites, no comments from knowledgeable cooks, C) all the "reviews" echo the product overview on the publisher site, and D) all the third party blurbs are from fantasy authors and hobby people, no actual cooks/chefs/food writers.

So do we have interesting recipes or did someone just take highly rated recipes off the internet and put a D&D skin on them?

Gotta wait for a real review.

But it's under $22 USD on Amazon.
