Honestly; boring. It seems like little time or effort was put into most of this book. Recipes are pretty standard and generic. Not a single picture of cooked food. Honestly, it makes you wonder if the author actually cooked anything or just searched for recipes and slapped this bad boy together.
There was one good thing though. The drawings and sketches throughout the book are really nice and pretty. All in all it looks nice on the shelf but I will never gather any inspiration from it.

We’ve made a few and love them all!! We made this stew tonight. Oh my goodness... we ate so much I think we’re all ready for bed. 🤣 It was absolutely delicious, and we’ll definitely be making it again! I can’t wait to try the other recipes!!

Holy wow. This book.
Okay so...My husband gifted it to me several months ago and, in true lazy person fashion, I flipped through, loved it in concept, and then never made anything from it because it felt overwhelming.
Fast forward to March 2021. We had changed our diet to something in the realm of the Mediterranean Diet because of cholesterol issues (mainly vegetarian, lots of seafood, some of pretty much everything else in moderation). We were struggling to find delicious, easy, and fun to make recipes that fit those nutritional “guidelines” and, on a whim, I pulled this book off the shelf. There are certainly recipes that don’t conform to the Medi-Diet, but as I said before: holy wow. This book is a treasure trove and runs the gamut of comestibles genuine to the various cultures of Middle Earth.
The artwork is spectacular, the recipes are diverse/accurate to Tolkien’s world/approachable/varied/etc., and the anecdotes/explanations that accompany each entry are insightful, applicable, and charming.
Hats off to the author. This is by far one of the best books I’ve ever purchased.
Photos accompanying this post correspond to: Pippin’s Minas Tirith Lunch (modified to remove pork pies and include smoked salmon instead), and Farmer Maggot’s Mushrooms on Toast.

Iv only tried 2 recipes so far tonight actually, I made Sam's Coney Stew and Lembas bread.
The stew really wasn't much of a stew (I'd have to add some thing more to it to make it more a stew it turned out more like something you would put over potatoes or pasta like a sauce but it tasted good. The Lembas bread I was pretty disappointed in, dont get me wrong it tasted good but it was more like a corn bread then what was in the movies I found a better recipe from someone on Tiktok that is more like it. I still enjoyed both recipes and plan to try others! The book itself Is beautifully put together and has some amazing illustrations.
