The Shire Cookbook

Embark on a culinary journey to the Shire, where halfling cuisine calls for seven meals a day! Savory and sweet dishes for first and second breakfast, a light elevensies snack, and then a hearty lunch of pork pie and other favorites get them through the first part of the day. For afternoon tea, halflings refresh themselves with tasty sandwiches or summer cakes. The evening meal is rather modest in comparison, but at night they really dig in. Westfarthing rabbit, trout with herb butter, braised lamb shanks, and many more delicacies are on the menu. Oh, to be a halfling!

For this book, Chelsea Monroe-Cassel has gathered over 40 recipes from the Shire that evoke all the wonderful aromas, flavors, and culinary hospitality of a halfling cottage.
