I just got a copy and I’d like to give it a review. My mind boggled dreaming of all sorts of exotic fantasy dishes. Of course, I was very excited when Heroes’ Feast, a Dungeons and Dragons inspired cookbook, was announced.

I think food and drink have a special way of immersing players in a gameworld.
