Loads of inviting recipes that cater to every season, occaision, course, mealtime and taste. The recipes are tasty and range from the extravagant, to the adventurous, to the everyday and even includes making drinks!
It’s a hardback with glossy pages and brilliant photographs. The major feature of this book is that they are not hit and miss recipes twisted round in an attempt to resemble the literature – the authors did an amazing job of sourcing authentic recipes. In fact, the book is presented with two versions of each dish – the original and the modern. The original dishes are usually labelled as ancient Roman or mediaeval Elizabethan and are surprisingly delicious, inviting and not that difficult to get ingredients for. The modern versions can be less hassle and are sufficiently different to the originals to give you choice.
The sign of a good cookbook is if it changes the way you eat. I can safely say that ancient Rome and mediaeval food are a part of my repertoire and that’s not going to change. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to cook, whether you’re looking for inventive meals or if you want to be able to cook the mainstays, it really is that varied. Oh and if you just salivated over the food in the books and wanted to see what they really look like, the book’s for you, too.

This cookbook is great. Lots of very good pictures. The information is spot on and it even gives you the modern version of what you would like to cook. I have not made any of them yet, but this will happen this weekend with the pork pie. Ingredients are readily available easy to access. So if you want to dinner at kings landing then this is the book for you. Would recommend absolutely.

This is a really informative, interesting and fun book to have. Like Chelsea and Sariann, I am a big fan of George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels, and have been for many years before Game of Thrones was produced, so once I found out about this book, the question I asked myself was not “Should I buy it?” but “When can I justify buying it?” I tried a few recipes from the blog first but some recipes were in the book alone, so I knew I needed access to both! Fortunately I decided to buy the book a few months ago and I have not regretted it.
The recipes are easy to follow, the book is laid out brilliantly and the pictures are perfect. I love how Chelsea and Sariann compare historical versions of their dishes to modern variants. I have made quite a few dishes from the book now and all have turned out well.
The only problem for me is that this book was produced by Americans,. As the measurements are done under the American system, I, as a Briton. need to use the conversion charts when I want to make something from this book, or guess at the quantities! The other issue related to that is the fact that a lot of the ingredients are not widely available in British stores, or have different names. it’s fairly easy to improvise though. I contacted the authors via the blog and Chelsea said she would consider putting up a conversion chart on the blog for the British fans.
On the whole, this is a brilliant book and I look forward to many years of faux-medieval feasting!

You actually do not have to have read or seen Game of Thrones in order to enjoy this excellent mixture of quasi- and actual historical food. The writers do know their stuff about historical cookery, and although they are American this creates no difficulties at all on this side of the Pond in terms of using the recipes as they also understand European cookery and everything is clearly explained. The clever part of presentation is that you can try either an original historical recipe or a modern version, inspired by Game of Thrones. The recipes have clearly been well tested, because they work and are delicious. This would make an excellent addition to one’s cookery bookshelf for anyone with an interest in historical food or anyone who would rather like to plunge into a Game of Thrones (T.V. version) set. The existence of this very entertaining, readable and usable book is probably the only thing that might offer a bit of an excuse for George R.R. Martin’s otherwise tedious overdescriptions. Skip through the guff in his books and eat your way through this one instead (there is a recipe for snake as well as lemon cakes, so every taste is catered for!). This is a good piece of work, do try it.

My son brought this after watching game of thrones, he loves cooking.
He absolutely loves this book, it has the historical version of the recipe and then a modern version if you have problems sourcing wild boar or rattle snake.
It refers to the section of the book that mentions the meal.
He can’t wait to try some of the dishes.

Me gustó mucho la novedad de incluir los platillos medievales y la versión actual, de igual forma, que no repite recetas que se incluyen en otros de la misma corriente

That this cook book is a labour of love is evident from the endorsement in the introduction by George Martin to the thorough research into medieval cooking that underpins the recipes. Each recipe has the passage from the novels that inspired it followed by the original historical material for the medieval recipe, which is really interesting to read. You then get two versions for each recipe: one based as closely as possible on the medieval source and one updated for modern tastes. This is a great idea and gives plenty of choice about the kind of dish you want to create. A nice touch are suggestions about how to put together a dinner party with a ‘Game of Thrones’ theme!
I have cooked quite a few of the dishes now and am impressed that the recipes have been thoroughly road-tested and are achievable, reliable and tasty! The photos of the finished dishes are another great feature both atmospheric and inspiring.
Most of the ingredient quantities are given in American cups with no conversion tables included. However, as a UK cook it was easy to find conversion information on any number of websites so don’t let this put you off.
A marvelous book that will introduce you to sophisticated and exotic taste combinations as well as rustic comfort food all with a twist of history and fantasy.

Great cook book, recipes are split up by region and offer nice twist on traditional english food (for the north).
