Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
I was one of the very first to review The Hunger Games. I loved the book, thought it one of the best I had seen for the Young Adult market in quite some while. Even way back in 2008 I was predicting that the Hunger Games series might just be the next big thing. So, I was delighted to see the recent release of the movie and was glad to have the opportunity to review Emily Ansara Baines The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook: From Lamb Stew to "Groosling" - More than 150 Recipes Inspired by The Hunger Games Trilogy. I cannot begin to tell you how dreadfully sad I am to have to write the review I'm about to put on "paper."

At first glance, The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook seems like a brilliant and fairly well executed idea, though I must admit that I had questions about the use of the Hunger Games name, surely by now trademarked. In spots, the recipes are marvelous. In others, not so much. And while I certainly understand the idea behind including things like mountain goat and yucca, foraging for food is something that takes knowledge. Many - probably most - of the recipes that use foraged plant roots I would not use, even though I've been "picking wild" for more than a half a century.

As I started taking a closer look at some of the recipes I started to notice some odd things. The recipe for Finnick And Annie's Wedding: White Wedding Cake, though it is a wedding cake indeed, is not a white wedding cake.

Ok, for the moment I'm going to ignore the fact that the way this book is tied in to the Hunger Games series is to regurgitate different quotes and situations from the book, find a relatable food and go from there. I'm going to look at it from it's stance as a cookbook, and the food that you prepare from it. We'll get into the whole Hunger Games thing later.

The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook has 9 chapters and an appendix. The appendix is largely a listing of herbs. There are also acknowledgements and an index and an About the Author section.

The first chapter, Breakfast of Champions, is just what you'd expect it to be. A chapter about breakfast foods. There are such sundries as orange muffins with sweet preserves to a Sumptuous Sausage Sunrise dish. The Fearfully Fried Potatoes (and yes I realize exactly how cheesy the dish names are) were standard fried potatoes. In fact, I was scratching my head a little at why they were included in this cookbook. The Orange Muffins with Sweet Preserves I made as well, and they were very very sweet. The texture was not muffin like though, but more like a very dense cake. The preserves made to go with it filled the equivalent of a regular sized jelly jar, and was way too much to go with the muffins, unless you made ten batches of muffins. The Fruit Frenzy was actually pretty good, but then again it was just a fixture of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and pineapple. Which is very standard. Cheese Souffle for the Spoiled Snackers was a light dish, and it had a decent taste, but wasn't really something that was sought after in my house. I do have to say that the Cheesy Meaty Hash Brown Casserole was very good and very easy to make.

My daughter got this as a birthday gift and we have tried to cook from it. Not a single recipe has worked yet. The baked goods have very odd proportions in the ingredients. The author clearly is not an experienced baker and must not have tested the recipes at all. As other reviewers have noted, she put this book together from stuff she found on the Internet, including words written by others. The front material has acknowledgements to two authors of wild game cookbooks - if the author used their words, their names should be on the cover. Shame!

This book is a waste of your money.

The first thing I have to say about this book is that I could not imagine a more loving tribute to the Hunger Games trilogy. Each recipe has a blurb that tells you where the food can be found in the book and a little bit about its context. That in itself is impressive, as there are a *TON* of recipes in here. There is something for every meal, and even the pickiest of eaters will find something they'll enjoy. The author, you may notice, has a serious sweet tooth - even simple things like breads, salads and porridge have extra ingredients to make them more fruity and spicy and sweet. This adds to the excitement of tasting a food from a good book.
You'll notice that a lot of reviews allude to the fact that there is a section in the book for cooking wild game. Don't let that put you off - the other 80% of the recipes in here have much easier ingredients to find. And anyway, how could there be a Hunger Games cookbook WITHOUT a wild game section? I confess I probably won't be cooking any of those, but even reading the recipes is entertaining.
I would recommend this book to foodies and fans alike.
