I am a fan of many things, delicious food included! One of my favorite things to do is find specialty restaurants or novelty cookbooks that cater to superfans by serving dishes inspired by fiction. I know it’s hard to cope while Game of Thrones is currently off the air, but you can fill the void in your life by exploring Westeros one culinary experience at a time. There is an official cookbook, A Feast of Ice and Fire, that I would love to purchase one day. In the meantime, there are plenty of inspired dishes whipped up by superfans that even this domestically-challenged fangirl might try:
