Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
I’ve written several posts about books that make me hungry, so I narrowed down this week’s topic to make it more of a challenge. Here are ten literary cookbooks that make me hungry.
1. An Unexpected Cookbook: The Unofficial Book of Hobbit Cookery by Chris-Rachael Oseland
2. Drink Me: Curious Cocktails from Wonderland by Nick Perry
3. Unofficial Recipes of the Hunger Games: 187 Recipes Inspired by the Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay by Rockridge Press
4. The American Girls Cookbook: A Peek at Dining in the Past with Meals You Can Cook Today by American Girl
5. Eat This Poem: A Literary Feast of Recipes Inspired by Poetry by Nicole Gulotta
6. Zora Neale Hurston on Florida Food: Recipes, Remedies & Simple Pleasures by Frederick Douglass Opie
7. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Cook Book by Monica Bayley
8. Fairy Tale Desserts: A Cookbook for Young Readers and Eaters by Jane Yolen
9. Avonlea Cookbook by Kevin Sullivan
10. Cherry Cake and Ginger Beer: A Golden Treasury of Classic Treats by Jane Brocket
Wow, cookbooks based on famous books. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/08/ttt-090120.html
🙂
ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY SEVEN RECIPES, how on earth is anyone that inspired by the books oh my gosh.
Haha! I know, right?
Ooh I love this twist to it! My daughter has gotten really into American Girl recently so I’m going to have to check that one out. Thanks for the great list!
You’re welcome. I hope she loves it.
These all sound wonderful!
Thanks!
The Hobbit cookbook sounds interesting.
Agreed. 🙂
What a wonderful list. I like to look at recipe books like this but rarely ever make any foods from them. I wonder if the Fairy Tale Foods book has the recipe for Turkish Delight, which is such an important treat from The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe?
I hope it does!
What a great list! I love recipes inspired by books and shows; the Hunger Games one sounds right up my alley.
Thanks.
Looking up both the Oz and Fairy Tale books now!
Enjoy!
Nice list! I had to look up the cocktail one, even though I own five cocktail books already including a literary one, Tequila Mockingbird!
😀
a great list! The Hobbit cookbook, The American Girls Cookbook
Eat This Poem: A Literary Feast of Recipes Inspired by Poetry are my fovourites.
thank you!
You’re welcome. Have you made any of the recipes in Eat This Poem? I’m so curious about them.
Wow! I had not idea there was a cookbook for the Hobbit! I’m for sure buying that immediately.
🙂
Oh I love this twist! I think a cookbook based on The Hobbit would definitely be filled with lots of yummy goodness 🙂
I know, right?
Wow. How fun is this?! You found ten wonderful literary cookbooks. I think I would choose Fairy Tale Desserts first.
Heh, thank you very much.
Great list! Definitely going to investigate the Hobbit one.
Thank you. And that would be the first one I picked up, too.
Fun list! I do enjoy reading through novel-themed cookbooks, even if I’ve yet to actually cook any of the recipes.
Thank you. And same here.
Great list! I’m very interested in Eat this Poem!
Thank you. And, yeah, that one seems super interesting.
The Unofficial Cookbook of the Hunger Games sounds like fun, but mostly I just want the Wonder Wizard of Oz Cookbook! Great list. 😀
Thank you. And, yeah, that one does sound cool.
All of these sound delightful. Can someone deliver the food to me so I don’t have to make it myself? 😉
Ha, I like the way you think!
Great list! Which recipes did you enjoy the most? Have to check out the Wonderland one!
There is still so much research (aka cooking) I need to do before answering that question. 🙂
This is so cool!! I’m going to look up that Avonlea cookbook! Great post.
Thank you. Hope you like that one!
I didn’t know cookbooks like this existed! Makes me more inclined to cook, lol. Great post!
I hear you there. And thanks.
I must find Eat this Poem!!!!
Totally agreed!
Ooh!! You have some cookbooks I need to add to my list! I did not know there was an Avonlea cookbook!! That is amazing 🙂 Thanks for stopping by my blog!
You’re welcome. Hope you enjoy the Avonlea cookbook.
Some of these sound amazing. The drinks cookbook would be fun — I love fancy cocktails, even though I rarely have them. Fairy Tale Desserts and the American Girl cookbook both sound like books that would have been great to have when my daughter was little. Great list!
Yes, they can be delicious for sure. And thanks.
Well I’m interested in Fairy Tale Desserts now, sounds great!
Glad to hear it. 🙂
Hobbit Cookery sounds pretty good! I like books inspired by stories with good food! 🙂
I hear you there!
My library has the Wizard of Oz cookbook – so cute!
Lauren @ Always Me
That’s awesome.
What a fun list of cookbooks!
Here’s my Top Ten Tuesday list.
Thanks. 🙂
I love this! I think I’ve only ever owned one cookbook coz now I just follow random recipes I find online but I’ve been discovering SO MANY with this week’s prompt! So many unique titles and unique cuisines and dishes too 😍 Love it!
Yes, for sure!
Great list. Haven’t tried any of these but several look interesting.
Thanks.
Looks like we shared some of the same subject matter today–Hunger Games, Oz, Avonlea. Thanks for sharing this awesome books and for visiting my blog today.
You’re quite welcome.
Great list! I love the sound of An Unexpected Cookbook.
Thanks. And agreed.
Lovely ideas. I’m getting hungry now. It reminds me that I gave one of my sons a Game of Thrones book. Will have to ask him whether he cooked anything from it, yet.
Thanks for visiting my TTT earlier.
You’re welcome. I hope your son found some great recipes in that book.
Oooh, some of these sound so cool! I don’t ever read these kinds of cookbooks and make the actual recipes. I just like looking through them to see what people came up with for literary references. Great list! 🙂
That’s definitely fun. And thanks.
Aaaand now *I’m* hungry, so thanks for that. I didn’t realize Zora Neale Thurston wrote a cookbook! That’s so neat! I bet there are some delicious recipes in the Hobbit one, too!
Heh, for sure! There was so much amazing food featured this week.
Where on earth did you find these? How clever and how absolutely perfect for this post!
Love it!
I did a lot of digging around on Goodreads. And thank you!
Loving the idea of cocktails based on Alice in Wonderland! I’ll be looking out for that book 🙂
Cool!
Oh, my girls loved making recipes out of the American Girls Cookbook. <3
That’s lovely!
Oooooh I forgot the Hunger Games Cookbook existed! I wish I had it. XD And American Girl! Ah that brings back memories. <3 I recently went on Amazon and put like a collection of each American Girl's historical books on my wish list that I remember loving cuz I suddenly had the urge to reread them all. 😛 I think I owned the cookbook at one point but I don't anymore. :/ Now as an adult I wish I could recollect all of them for my own library and maybe pass on to my daughter one day if I ever have one.
I hope you find replacements someday.
Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting! Your list of cookbooks is definitely mouthwatering! 🙂
You’re quite welcome. And thanks.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz cookbook! I would definitely like to take a look at that one — and also, what a creative list this is!
Thank you very much.
There’s an Avonlea cookbook?! How did I not know this! I was a huge Avonlea fan growing up. Does it have Marilla’s Raspberry Cordial in it?
I haven’t seen it yet, but I’d bet it does!
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Cookbook is such a fun oddity. I love that you included it!
Thank you!
I had not yet seen the Wonderful Wizard of Oz cookbook. I’ll have to look it up.
I hope you find it soon.
This is an awesome list! I’m definitely adding a few of these to my Christmas wishlist! 🙂
Yay! Hope you get them.
I don’t remember having the cookbook, but I used to be SO into American Girl. I still like to browse a catalog from them now and again for nostalgia and still own all of the things I was gifted or bought from them over the years. 🙂 Thanks so much for the recent(ish!) visits to Finding Wonderland; my apologies for the delay in visiting here.
No worries, Rissi. And it’s cool you were a fellow fan of American Girl.
