After years of demand from hungry fans, there is finally a lovingly researched and well-crafted cookbook on the way that transports readers, cooks, and eaters just a bit closer to the rounded doors of Bag End. Showcasing dishes mentioned in and inspired by the works of JRR Tolkien, and enriched by details such as facsimiles of “original†recipes and marginalia, this is an immersive work of combined fiction and food. So pack your pocket handkerchief, roll up your sleeves, and prepare to eat like a Hobbit! For more information, please visit www.theshirecookbook.com
