$\"\"$ Who doesn\u2019t love the \u201cThe Princess Bride\u201d? Even if not everyone is obsessed with the film, I\u2019ve never met anyone who hated it. However, I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ve ever encountered a person so captivated, so enchanted, so driven by obsession with \u201cThe Princess Bride\u201d until I read \u201cThe Unofficial Princess Bride Cookbook: 50 Delightfully Delicious Recipes for Fans of the Cult Classic\u201d by Cassandra Reeder, aka The Geeky Chef.<\/p>\n

With its cast of wonderful characters, fun fantasy setting, and loads of memorable quotes, creating a cookbook full of themed titles recipes wouldn\u2019t be too difficult. But Reeder didn\u2019t phone this in for a quick buck, they dove deep. The author referenced the film, the book, read autobiographies of actors involved in the film, watched documentaries, and more, to come up with 50 thoughtfully crafted recipes. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Unofficial Princess Bride Cookbook\u201d is divided into 6 main sections: Drinks and Cocktails (Booze!), Soups and Stews (Are you ladling around with me or what?), Appetizers and Accompaniments (Do you always begin meals this way?), Main Courses (Prepare to dine!), Cakes, Pies, and Tarts (I\u2019ll eat you both apart! I\u2019ll bake you both together!), and Other Desserts and Candies (Skip to the end\u2026). There is also a section highlighting vegan, vegetarian, and kosher replacements and another dedicated to party planning where the author put together themed meals such as Storming the Castle Banquet and Buttercup\u2019s Farmhouse Supper.<\/p>\n

The recipes range from surprisingly simple to dizzyingly complex, with most of the ingredients being readily available at the local grocery store. When it came to choosing a recipe to try, you KNOW it had to be a cocktail. AND, if you know me, you also know it HAD to be a rum cocktail! I\u2019ve had a long love affair with the classic rum cocktail Dark n\u2019 Stormy<\/a>, so I was intrigued with Reeder\u2019s \u201cPrincess Bride\u201d version, The Sea After the Storm Dark and Stormy.<\/p>\n

$\"$ <\/p>\n

The traditional Dark n\u2019 Stormy is very simple, ginger beer with a dark rum floating on top. Sometimes with a little lime and\/or bitters. Reeder\u2019s version is upgraded to make it prettier while maintaining the overall original taste of the original.<\/p>\n
