Seen all the movies? Watched every series? Played all the games? Then it's time to crank up the geek factor a bit more... at the kitchen stove!Who among us hasn't wondered if Norma's cherry pie in Twin Peaks is really as delicious as Agent Cooper claims, or if it's really worth it, like serial killer Hannibal Lecter, to put one or two psychiatrists to the sword for 'liver with some fava beans and an excellent Chianti'? Whether the burgers from the 'Krusty Krab' in Spongebob & Co. rightly enjoy such popularity or if a salmon mousse is actually as deadly as with the Monty Python guys? Who wouldn't have an appetite for a hearty World of Warcraft dragon breath chili or delicious wild boar roast à la Asterix & Obelix, washed down with a 5-dollar shake, butterbeer or a vodka martini - of course shaken, not stirred?This book compiles 75 iconic foods and drinks from cinema, TV, anime, comics and videogames, cooked just as they are known from the big screen, television or computer monitor, with hobby chef, film freak and bestselling author Tom Grimm ensuring that the recipes presented here satisfy even the most demanding tastes - without having to spend days in the kitchen!
