If you're the type of reader that completely immerses
yourself in your favorite author's books, having a
companion piece is like gold. This is the perfect way to
continue to love your Outlander world- making the recipes
inspired by your favorite characters.
Food is a passion of mine, so I was naturally drawn to
another chef who was also passionate about combining her
cooking talents with one of my favorite series. Theresa
mentions that the Outlander Kitchen is an Outlander
cookbook- not a Scottish or historical cookbook. This
means we get to explore the cuisine of different
countries and explore different recipes inspired by the
characters in Diana Gabaldon's books. This also allows
Theresa to adapt recipes to modern time- and for me to
not have to ask my butcher to procure me a sheep's head
and boil it in water before making a recipe. It is the
best way to continue to live in your favorite series.
There are many great aspects to this official companion
cookbook. Each recipe has a quote from one of the
Outlander books along with commentary from Theresa. In
addition to the fun of reading the quote from the book
that inspired the recipes, is the fact that the recipes
are very easy to follow and understand. Most of the
recipes I tried and loved, like the Potato Fritters
inspired from The Fiery Cross, had only six ingredients
and an easy to follow method. The pictures that
accompanied a lot of the recipes had my mouth watering
and made me sure that I could produce this myself. A lot
of the recipes also utilize ingredients that are a staple
in the Highlands.
I have wanted to try and make a bannock- and Theresa's
recipe, starting with a quote from Drums of Autumn was
perfect. And it didn't hurt that I ate it while watching
the newest Outlander episode.
While I loathe Black Jack as a character, I am in love
with Theresa's Black Jack Randall's Dark Chocolate
Lavender Fudge. Again, it was another easy recipe with
only five ingredients and was a breeze to follow. And of
course it tasted excellent! Even though I still loathe
Black Jack, I love the fudge I eat as I look forward to
his demise.
THE OUTLANDER KITCHEN is the perfect must have for
Outlander lovers- and if you are like my book club we
have already planned an Outlander night of book and movie
talk with recipes from Theresa's book. This is the must
have cookbook for Outlander lovers!
