Great for Fans of Almost Anything
Really fun and good cookbook. I love how many different fan bases this appeals to. From Hunger Games to Harry Potter to Narnia to Zelda to Star Trek and so much more! I’m gifting it to my newly wed sister and her husband, and with such a range of recipes, I’m confident they’ll both find recipes they’ll be excited about. I just hope they invite me over for some Cauldron Cakes.

Super Fun!!!
This is sooo cool! I am a total geek and proud of it...it was fun to see the culinary ideas that author, Cassandra Reeder came up with when she thought of the movies, video games and TV series' and their food offerings. I was pleasantly surprised at almost all of the recipes. I thought of my own ideas and how they compared and I was excited to see that the ideas were similar in a lot of cases. She also made some recipes I didn't expect to be tasty (Lembas bread from Lord Of The Rings for instance) taste really good! I will have lots of fun...and cosplay parties with this cookbook.

Happy Chef Geeks This Cook Book Is A Must
The recipes include chocolate salty balls inspired by South Park, butter cakes inspired by Silent Hill. I plan on making my own Twinkies, I'll be using another recipe from the book inspired by Bioshock for Creme-filled cakes. I bought the book for my daughter's first cookbook for the new home she & her partner are moving into, he loves her cooking. Now, she can make geek food for him. Happy Geeks are wonderful.This book is easy to follow, and there's something to be said for cook books, as opposed to online sites. Sometimes, it's wonderful to have a book. Being a tactile person, I like to hold my books.I highly recommend this book for fellow Geeks, or those that have Geeks in their lives.

Unique and fun book of recipes
Bought this for my "geeky" son who likes to cook. It has a nice variety of recipes from a mixture of geeky shows. I would agree with other reviews that there a few too many drink recipes and would have liked to see more food in their place. The recipes look tasty and I hope I get to sample some!

This is a great book! Admittedly
This is a great book! Admittedly, I don't really consider myself a "geek" (much), I'm really not into science fiction (I tolerate it because I love my husband) and I'm really not part of the "gaming generation", but I LOVE cookbooks and LOVE cooking and trying new recipes. Cassandra Reeder has done a phenomenal job with this, sharing her passion in a creative, humorous, and unconventional way. So much so, I might have to consider getting more "geeky"! hahaha! The photos in the book are beautifully done, letting you see the end product in a very thematic way. Just reading the book is uplifting, and I haven't even tried any of the recipes yet. I've purchased many a cookbook that have left me disappointed once I have it my hands. This was quite the opposite. Can't wait to try the Lamb Stew with Plums, the Bowl O' Brown, the Dragonbreath Chili, Shawarma, and drink them down with some Klah, Butter Beer, Moloko Plus and maybe some Graf.. - as well as others... I can only imagine how much more enjoyable you'll find this book if you are more "geeky" and into fantasy and science fiction than I. I highly recommend it!

great cookbook and a great author as well
I love this book!! the instruction and the enthusiasm is just spot on. I believe it would benefit mainly for show lovers and themed parties. the beverage section I found most interesting and it made my Halloween party a great success. Planning on buying the second book soon.

Fun recipe book for any geek!!
Bought his for my husband who said he wanted to cook more but didn’t know any recipes! Thought he would get a kick out of this because he loves all of the movies, shows and games referenced in the book. bought the “strikes back” one in addition to this book. Very detailed and easy recipes. Photography is great too!!!

Fun little book for hobby chefs
Sort of along the lines of movie/tv themed cookbooks with more variety. The recipes aren't too hard to do, and the outcomes are interesting enough to do for a gathering or birthday party.
