The fire's lit, pull up a bench.

Rustic cooking for anyone who'd rather eat like they just rode in from the borderlands than off a sheet pan.

I'm Brandon — this is where I keep the recipes I actually cook: heavy breads, long-simmered soups, hearty entrees, and the kind of desserts that taste like they were smuggled out of a dwarven mess hall. Everything here is inspired by the food of the worlds I love — The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, The Witcher, World of Warcraft — reimagined as things you can actually make in a normal kitchen, with normal ingredients, and no dragon required.

Originally, I got into cooking to save money but quickly fell in love. I've always been drawn to the food in medieval fantasy media and recreating it at home is a great creative outlet for me. I created this website mainly so I had somewhere to easily reference my own recipes but also share them with friends, family, and you!
