World Of WarCraft, Official Cookbook Review

World of WarCraft is more than a video game, more than an MMORPG.  It has become a cultural phenomenon.  Even if you have never played, you have surely heard of this juggernaut.

The World of WarCraft Official Cookbook is an impressive, hefty tome.  From the same authors as A Feast of Ice and Fire, this beast of a cookbook is over 200 pages of recipes on glossy pages with sumptuous photographs of each dish in theme appropriate settings. Each offering is broken down by skill level, cook time, and suggested pairings, and also contains bonus material about in game origins and other fun factoids.  The book is well organized into seven main categories, from spices to soups, main courses to drinks, everything is covered.  There is even a section that contains full suggested menu's for a variety of special occasions.

The recipes themselves are laid out in a very neat and easy to read format, and there is even a dietary chart in the back for those with food allergies or other special dietary needs to find recipes that fit those needs at a quick glance.

As a stand alone cookbook, this really is top quality.  Although it contains a few truly fantastical recipes for items that might be hard to find or not made only on special occasions, it also contains many recipes that one can use for every day cooking. 

Honestly, of all of my fantasy cookbooks, this one stands out for having the most recipes my family was interested in trying and including in a regular weeknight meal.  Fantastic while also being down to earth, this book has it all
