The Elder Scrolls: Tastes and Tales of Tamriel (Official Cookbook Vol. 2)
The anticipated release of The Elder Scrolls 6 isn’t expected until at least 2026. In the meantime, fans can immerse themselves in the franchise’s world through culinary exploration with The Elder Scrolls: Tastes and Tales of Tamriel, now available for preorder for $35 on Amazon, with a release date set for September 17. This detailed cookbook offers over 60 recipes paired with anecdotes, illustrations, and photography, making it a fantastic addition for followers of the series. Additionally, it includes a travelogue featuring background stories behind each dish, exclusive artwork, and unique photography.
This hardcover release follows the incredibly successful 2019 edition of The Elder Scrolls cookbook, as seen here. The first volume wasn’t just a hit among gaming cookbooks but stands out among gaming books overall on Amazon, having amassed over 13,000 reviews and maintaining a 4.9/5-star rating, a feat not even achieved by acclaimed titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia or the Zelda Encyclopedia, which have fewer reviews despite their popularity.
The array of dishes, from Apple-Cabbage Stew to Sweetroll, inspired by the lands of Tamriel, continues to inspire culinary enthusiasts and fans of the series. The upcoming volume, The Elder Scrolls: Tastes and Tales of Tamriel, promises to expand these dining experiences further with a new collection of over 60 recipes for snacks, appetizers, drinks, and meals, all accompanied by beautiful photographs to guide and inspire your creations.
Spanning 208 pages, the book delves into more than recipes. It includes a travelogue providing insights into the origins and stories behind the dishes accompanied by unique illustrations. Thus, making it appealing for Elder Scrolls enthusiasts who may not necessarily be culinary experts.
The digital variant, The Elder Scrolls: Tastes and Tales of Tamriel Kindle edition, is currently available for pre-order at just $16.
Fans of the Elder Scrolls series can further explore its universe with the attractively designed The Skyrim Library three-volume bundle, now 50% off. Encased in a decorative box, these books offer extensive explorations into various Skyrim elements, now priced at $56.43 from the usual $110. Also available is the The Elder Scrolls Online: Tales of Tamriel Box Set, discounted to $40 from $70.
The rising trend of video game-themed cookbooks continues to captivate, featuring legitimate offerings for various games. Fans can explore culinary delights from Diablo, Stardew Valley, and Five Nights at Freddy’s, among others. Notably, the Horizon-themed cookbook is also available, though it lacks interactive features like voice guidance for its recipes.
If you’re excited about Dragon Age: The Veilguard, a new official cookbook titled Taste of Thedas was released in 2023. You can purchase it for $26 (originally $35).
