Recipes from the World of Tolkien - Tolkien Reference Book, Literary Cookbook: Inspired by the Legends

I bought Recipes from the World of Tolkien as a gift for a friend who absolutely loves Lord of the Rings, and it was a huge hit. The book is beautifully put together and feels like something straight out of Middle-earth. The recipes are creative, fun, and thoughtfully themed, making it just as enjoyable to read through as it is to cook from. Even if you’re not planning to make every recipe, it’s a fantastic conversation piece and a perfect gift for any Tolkien fan. My friend loved flipping through it and spotting references to familiar places and cultures from the books. Highly recommend for LOTR lovers, fantasy fans, or anyone who enjoys a unique, well-designed cookbook.

I gifted this to my daughter at Christmas, and she absolutely loved it. The book is beautiful and full of creative recipes inspired by the world of Tolkien, which made it a really fun and unique gift for a fan of the stories. The recipes are interesting and feel thoughtfully tied to the themes and settings of Middle-earth. It is one of those books that is enjoyable to flip through even before you start cooking, and it feels special enough to give as a gift. Overall, this was a great purchase and a big hit as a Christmas present. If you are shopping for a Tolkien fan who enjoys cooking or themed cookbooks, this is a wonderful choice.

Big Lord of the Rings fan! Got the spiral edition. Right out of the box the cook book looks awesome! The pictures and visuals inside are awesome too! Can’t wait to start making some of these recipes! A breakfast recipe caught my eye. The Beorn honey cakes sound awesome! Bought the book for the Lembas bread which sounds a bit complicated, but can’t wait to start cooking. Haven’t cooked anything yet and already know this was a great purchase.

Great design. Super recipes.

Bought a copy for my son for Christmas, sort of a last minute filler, and it has ended up the favorite gift of Christmas! The quality of the illustrations and the stories/notes with the recipes are fantastic. For any Tolkien fans out there, this is a wondered and not expensive gift. We were shocked at the quality of this book for the price. Honestly looks like a $50+ kind of book.

I ordered two copies of this book: one for myself and one for a friend. The seller quickly responded to my messages when I ran into a shipping concern. The illustrations are beautiful and the recipes include references to the Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, and the Silmarillion. I did not give it five stars because I suspect it was generated by AI (conflicting details about the author on the internet, lack of unique personal information in the comments on the recipes, and the disclaimer that "this work is unofficial and is not authorized by the Tolkien Estate or HarperCollins Publishers").

This cookbook is wonderful! The recipes I've tried so far have been delicious and I love the bits of lore surrounding them. There's a wide variety for all kinds of tastes for all kinds of meals. The ingredients and instructions are clear and easy to follow. Some of the ingredients are a little less common or more expensive, like quail eggs for the dwarven hand pies, but the author was good about putting in substitutions. I really appreciate that as somebody living in a small town where it's not easy to get things. In terms of the book itself, the print quality is good, the formatting is well done and it's easy to read and find things with the glossary. Highly recommended - I look forward to trying more of these recipes!

My oldest brother is a huge lotr fan and he loved it! He was super excited to try out the recipes and cook for us :) great gift for a lotr fan

The recipes are a little questionable.. but the idea and the illustrations are worth the purchase. Fast postage - would buy from this seller again.

My husband and I love LoTR and the recipes here are so easy and unique!

I gave this book to my boyfriend who's a huge lotr fan and he is so happy with it. The recipes, drawings, background information... Looking forward to get served ;)

I bought this book as a gift, but I read it first! The amount of research that was put in this is remarkable. I believe professor Tolkien would approve of it. I hope it will be translated into other languages (and other units of measure!) soon!

Es precioso, lo compré como regalo para mi novio pero no veo el momento de empezar a usar las recetas, viene super bien explicado todo y las ilustraciones lo hace más apetecible.
