If you like watching HBO’s Game of Thrones, then this spoof recipe book may amuse you.
I am not entirely sure that the recipes are do-able. For example, Daenerys’ Dragon Eggs and Unsullied Soldiers (without nuts) calls for these ingredients:
For each egg:
A divine right to rule
100g chocolate egg, about 12cm tall
70g pack chocolate buttons
Edible food colour sprays
Ships. You’ll need ships unfortunately.
For the soldiers
I pack chocolate buttons, plus extra chocolate buttons for melting
I pack ladyfinger sponge biscuits
1 pack chocolate sticks.
… the method seems not to explain what to do with the ships and the divine right to rule…
On the other hand the illustrations seem to suggest that people who enjoy making fiendishly difficult desserts and cakes will manage to achieve the required result.
For a themed party, there are interesting delicacies such as Joffrey’s Jaffa Poison Cup and Tyrion’s Shortbread.
You get the idea…

Oh god… The cringe factor! I love a good pun but a whole book would probably kill me 😜

Yeah, it’s one of those so-called gift books that you read once, and then you really don’t know what to do with it. But if you were a hard-core Thrones fan – people do have themed parties especially when a new series arrives – you’d probably add it to your collection of Throne memorabilia.
