GET THE COOKBOOKS!

Because scrolling through a blog with flour-covered hands is hard!

 

Based on the blog that started it all (this one), The Geeky Chef Cookbook is packed with recipes inspired by the most iconic foods from movies, TV, games, and beyond. Ever dreamed of slurping down a writhing bowl of the Klingon delicacy, Gagh? Or sinking your teeth into the Elven travel snack Lembas? Or maybe you're craving something from your favorite game, like the fiery hot Dragonbreath Chili from World of Warcraft? This book brings fictional feasts to life with plenty of exclusive recipes you won’t find on the blog. Perfect for eclectic geeks, nerdy foodies, and curious adventurers!

 

Not really a cook, more of potion master? The Geeky Bartender Drinks is brimming with cocktails and mocktails inspired by your favorite movies, TV shows, games, and more. Need a boozy lemon-scented smack in the face? Try the infamous Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Feeling like you need a rug that really ties the room together? Sip on a White Russian à la The Dude. Or maybe you just want a big gulp of delicious and nutritious Lon Lon Milk. So refreshing! Whatever your fandom, there’s a drink for you.

"The Geeky Chef blog was originally started in 2008, and the time spent testing and refining each recipe shows in the results." - Dan Thorton, Disposable Media

RECIPE BOOKS FOR GAMERS

These recipe books deserve a spot in your inventory!

 

The Video Game Chef is filled with over 75 recipes for the greatest video game foods of all time. Consumables, potions, stat-boosting snacks, hearty feasts, and iconic treats you’ve seen (and possibly drooled over) on screen. It's got everything from Castlevania's iconic and enigmatic "Wall Meat" to the adorable Bunny Dango from Monster Hunter. Alongside tasty recipes, you’ll find video game–style food illustrations and recipe notes packed with fun facts, cheats, recipe mods, video game trivia, and probably more information than you ever needed to know about the history of food in video games. 

 

The Gamer’s Bar has everything from victory toasts to “I just threw my controller” consolation drinks. With hilariously unhinged intros written by game journalist Nadia Oxford, Publisher's Weekly called it "A nostalgic love letter to video games." No really, they actually did. Whether you're fueling up for an all-night raid or just need a sip of liquid courage before “one last round,” these video game-inspired cocktails and mocktails have got your back. 

 

 

COCKTAIL BOOKS FOR MUSIC NERDS

 Lyrics & Libations is a series is for anyone who’s ever wished they could taste their favorite song. (It's not weird, I promise.)

 

The Ultimate 90s Cocktail Playlist is a book that combines your love for fruity drinks with your obsession with flannel shirts and Friends reruns. From grunge bands to boy bands, Lillith Fair legends to G-funk royalty, we've got a cocktail for every 90s mood.

 

Mixtapes and Mixers: Totally 80s Cocktails is perfect for karaoke nights or just generally pretending you're in a John Hughes film. Whether your thing is headbanging to hair metal or doing your best David Byrne impression, these 80s-inspired cocktails will have you recreating scenes from your favorite 80s dance movie* 

 

Comic writer Henry Barajas provides the intros for both books, so expect more giggles than a sitcom laugh track.

THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY / FIRST EDITIONS

"Drawing inspiration from movies, video games and television shows, more than 60 recipes full of fantasy and science fiction are featured throughout the new cookbook. Lemon cakes - and bowls of brown if you're, um, into that - allow you to eat your feelings after that Game of Thrones season five finale, while other fictional food formulas, including 1UP mushroom cupcakes (Super Mario Cart), Romulan Ale (Star Trek), bacon pancakes (Adventure Time) Moloko Plus (A Clockwork Orange) and lembas (The Lord of the Rings), transport your taste buds into another world." - Creative Loafing

The The Geeky Chef Cookbook was released in 2015. With a blend of humor and clear step-by-step instructions, this book will teach you how to make Pumpkin Pasties from Harry Potter, and Lemon Cakes from Game of Thrones. Sip from a bowl of Plomeek Soup from Star Trek and enjoy with Peeta's Cheesy Bread from The Hunger Games. Beautiful photographs were provided by Bill Milne and fun illustrations were provided by web comic artists Denis Caron, both of whom continued to provide photos and art for the following books in the series.
