World of Warcraft: The Official Cookbook

I am *OBSESSED* with this cookbook. For starters, it's beautiful and so well designed. Lots of images from the game and the characters. It's hardback and fantastic quality. There are images with some of the recipes. Most of the recipes are pretty simple and sound amazing.

Great book, fun recipes, tried many of them. Nothing has been bad, yet

Book is super beautiful, they didn’t slack on the imaging. Can’t vouch for any recipes yet. But I love the adaptions of kale chips, into lichen.. anyway full of treats can’t wait to start cooking! Update: By now I have made several recipes, I can see where they forgot to say “add peas” during one of the soups. And several parts where you add ingredients and tell you to do a stage longer then you should. Let me break it down to you, The actual ranks listed in each recipe is a given. A master cook knows that you add the peas to the pot after you remove the chicken and put in the dumpling dough. If you have issues with the recipes start by an easier rank. Think it over, I will use the chicken dumpling soup as a reference as it is a “master” recipe. When you add flour to the veggies and butter/garlic combo, what your looking for is the start of a rue. In order to get the flavor of the rue you lightly toast the flour you put in the pot, then you add the beer. After it thickens the rue is perfect so you add a cup of the broth and let it boil for several minutes to cook out the alcohol. Then you follow the last of the instructions where common sense follows that corn and pea sized veggies are always added at the last stage to avoid becoming soggy. (This information is left out of the recipe, but it is labeled as a MASTER recipe for this reason) This is what makes the difference between a Master skill recipe and an apprentice. Being able to pinpoint and know what your looking for as you cook. This book is great, I wouldn’t recommend it to a person who does not comprehend the basics of cooking(Can you name at least 4 mother sauces and how to make them? No? Skip this book, or do some research). Also some of the spice ingredients and even food ingredients are “specialty” food store purchases only. With this in mind, a lot of non experienced cooks won’t begin to understand the balance of these spices and flavors which makes it easy to ruin what your making, especially if you have no idea what a pinch of salt means.. (I put a pinch of the spice combos directly on my tongue the first time I combo any spice, really good mixes, unique flavors. I recommend doing the same at least once to enhance your flavor/taste pallet. Helps you learn.) However if your passionate and know basic about cooking and actual cooking terms, plus you love the game. It is pretty damn amazing. Every recipe I have tried so far was amazing, refreshing and added to the taste pallet of the household. As a chef with a bit of skill cooking.. not so much the display. I have even created my own works and substitutes like basil instead of rosemary for the spiced eggs recipe, making it taste sweeter. Already planning to do a full thanksgiving feast based off of pilgrims bounty. With a few winter drinks thrown in. If you know someone who cooks a feast, and loves WOW get them this book. It will be the best damn gift you could ever get then!

I bought one for my sister, daughter and myself! Love the recipes and World of Warcraft thrown in. Must if you're a fan.

Ok, I admit gladly that I am a World of Warcraft addict. I also LOVE cookbooks and collect them. So when I saw that they made a WOW cookbook I absolutely HAD to have it. I thought it would be cute and likely never used. However, when the book came in I was surprised at how easy and detailed the recipes were. Loved how they instituted normal food for WOWs made up names. Like Buzzard bites, made with ground turkey and omg they are SO yummy and incredibly easy as well! You also get gorgeous images for each dish as well as illustrations that represent WOW characters and lands. Seriously this cookbook has blown me away. What I thought would be just a neat coffee table book to show off my geekdom and love of a game turned out to be a true bonified awesome cookbook! I've made several recipes now and so far every one of them has been completely yummy. I highly recommend making the Bloodberry Tart. You won't be disappointed. This is perfect for all the gamers out there that love WOW, like me, and also for anyone out there that loves to cook. Even if you have no clue what World of Warcraft is (like if you live under a rock) you will still LOVE this cookbook. It's fun in it's whimsy and yet still professional in it's recipes and publications. A definite win win all around!

Half my family has July birthdays and one sister in particular is not easy to find a gift for. She's been playing World of Warcraft since its early days and after coming across the official cookbook, I snagged it for her. She loves the recipes within and has sent me pictures of the meals that came from within the book. While it will never replace more traditional cookbooks, being able to add a little lore enjoyment to the dinner table is a way to bring a smile to a sibling's face.

This book is a lot of fun. The recipes are hit-or-miss, some are great and some are eh. I do especially recommend the rice pudding and chicken soup, and the spice blends are excellent. I used a coffee grinder on these, and enjoyed seeking out the more obscure items. Ironforge Rations were even surprisingly good. It is a fun way to bring a World of Warcraft obsession (like mine) into the real world. Just put on a WoW soundtrack while those herb rolls are in the oven and it's almost like being in Stormwind!

I been playing the game for a while and always wanted to buy the book. I wanted it for collection but also try the food in it. It’s some interesting ones in there and I love it. Great buy for fans of the game and also making some good food.

Ich koche sehr gern und habe früher WoW auch sehr gern gespielt - als ich nun dieses Kochbuch sah musste ich es sofort bestellen. Ich wusste nicht genau was mich erwartet, wurde aber nicht enttäuscht. Das Buch ist wirklich super aufgemacht. Großes Format, Hardcover, sehr gute Qualität der einzelnen Seiten. Am Anfang des Buches werden ein paar "basic" Rezepte beschrieben, die man für spätere Gerichte braucht (z.B. ein einfacher Teig oder Gewürzmischungen). Alle Rezepte haben genaue Mengenangaben in Amerikanischen Maßeinheiten. Wenn man aber einmal in ein Cup-Messbecher-Set investiert, sollte das auch für die hiesige Küche kein Problem darstellen. Bei fast redem Rezept ist eine Skizze aus den Warcraft Artbooks dabei, die das ganze noch aufwerten. Es macht einfach mehr her mit einer schönen Aufmachung ;) Die Umsetzung der verschiedenen Gerichte und Getränke aus dem Spiel ist jedenfalls gut gelungen. Die "Wild Rice Cakes" habe ich schon ausprobiert und sie sind wirklich lecker. Als nächstes möchte ich die "Stuffed Lushrooms" ausprobieren. Wer WoW mag, gern kocht und nicht vor Englisch zurückschreckt, sollte dieses Buch kaufen! Es ist eine Bereicherung einer jeden WoW Sammlung.

Muy buen libro, se apega mucho a la cocina del juego, los ingredientes no son nada extravagantes y está muy detallado como preparar los alimentos, aparte de tener cierta gracia al presentar algunas imágenes y referencias, es como si fuera la cocina de World of Warcraft en nuestro mundo

It should get a 5+ star.

O livro é sensacional e lindo de mais! É maior do que eu esperava e cheio de ilustrações maravilhosas. Em perfeito estado, as imagens são lindas e as instruções são bem claras!! Do produto não tenho do que reclamar. Agora da entrega hxjsbxjdn ele veio pela Total Express, e o que posso dizer... não dá pra confiar no rastreamento da empresa. O objeto ficou em rota de entrega por dois dias. Foram dois dias que tive que ficar em casa aguardando o livro e nada. Ele chegou no terceiro dia, e no site dizia que o objeto ainda não tinha saído para entrega naquele dia. De qualquer forma, a compra valeu a pena pelo produto em si que é maravilhoso!

I love World of Warcraft, so when I discovered a cookbook I just had to get it. Some great recipes, and the adaptations from Azeroth to Earth are incredibly delightful.
