Take your tastebuds on an adventure in this saucebook from the world’s greatest roleplaying wiki! [citation needed]
“A learned cook’s a dangerous creature. An unwanted helper, be they a well-meaning friend or an unwitting server, must be valorous, like a paladin, as they are in danger of earning a stern warning, followed by a smack with a spatula.” – Juniper Churlgo
Finally, the first sourcebook—and cookbook!—written, illustrated, and compiled by the talented team behind the Forgotten Realms Wiki, one of the foremost fan-run resources for the Forgotten Realms and Dungeons & Dragons, which has aided players, Dungeon Masters, fans, and creators alike for 20 years. Juniper’s Companion to Venturesome Cookery adapts and expands upon the popular cooking blog by wiki writer Artie Pavlov, bringing you even more delectable dishes taken direct from Faerûn and beyond, as well as cooking tips for the layperson, updated magical items and spells with a culinary theme usable in kitchen and dungeon alike, classic and new Realmslore, and short tales and adventure ideas, with original artwork and color photographs throughout. Also featuring is a foreword by Forgotten Realms creator Ed Greenwood; an article on halflings by fellow Realms luminary Steven E. Schend; and lore and lyrics for a new Realms song by Elizaveta, musician of TV, movies, and Dragon Age: Inquisition (music sold separately) with cover art by 5th-edition D&D and Magic: The Gathering artist Brian Valeza.
“Want to eat very well in real life, enjoying dishes from the Forgotten Realms? Tested and perfected in a real-world kitchen by a man who knows what he’s doing? This is a tome you should own! Spice up your Realms games and your real dining table!!!! HIGHLY recommended!” – Ed Greenwood
Join halfling wizardess Lady Juniper Churlgo of the Churlgo Cheese family business (together with her long-suffering gnome editor Monoselic Wordwrangle and guest writers including the Old Mage Elminster Aumar himself) as she presents in her battered food-stained scrapbook an eclectic smattering of recipes from across the Realms, from Arrabar to Zehoarastria and beyond, to Kara-Tur and the planes. Inspired by the famed Master Traveler of All the Realms, Volothamp Geddarm, Juniper’s quill tells (mostly) reliable and true tales of her travels and her research into each dish and gives helpful guidance to take you through each one, all in her inimitable chatty and friendly manner. It’s the authentic guide to the flavors of Faerûn by those who know them best.
“A fun read with some great recipes I may have to try soon!” – Steven E. Schend
So, the next time you’re cooking, we just might have something tasty and venturesome for you to try out. And when we say venturesome, we mean it: we have genuine recipes for boar, hare, rothé, snail, snake, and even stirge (and the stirges were tricky to catch), plus aggressive vegetables and baked goods for vegetarians. But don’t fear: we also have simpler recipes and tips for novice cooks too. Juniper’s Companion to Venturesome Cookery is by fans, for fans, and for your friends and family, both in your kitchen and around the dining table, whether for dinner or gaming night. Bon appétit!
