TES Food::Chicken Dumplings

The Elder Scrolls: The Official Cookbook

Chicken Dumplings | 3.5

These dumplings are a specialty of many an inn across Skyrim, where travelers can enjoy them hot after a long day's journey, but they're also a popular pick in one's own homestead kitchen. In either case, the creamy filling has restorative properties, especially washed down with a flagon of the local specialty.

⭑⭑⭑⭑☆ | Taste: 4/5

The flavor is there, but it isn't as good as it should be given how much work is involved. As usual with these recipes, at a minimum you want to double the custom seasoning (Stormcloak in this case). There are a lot of other pot-pie-like filling recipes you can use that involve a lot less work

⭑⭑☆☆☆ | Cooking Ease: 2/5

Heavy prep: you have to make the dough beforehand, and additionally, baking the chicken ahead of time and then pulling it apart into bite-sized pieces to then re-bake is time consuming

⭑⭑☆☆☆ | Cost to Make: 2.5/5

Cheddar isn't the most expensive cheese ever, but with only needing 1/4 cup, you're not exactly getting your money's worth

Rye flour for the rye pie dough is a more specialty flour, and thus commands a specialty price

You can probably substitute onions for leeks in this recipe, so that can help reduce cost

Notes:

When each recipe is cooked for the first time, there are no substitutions used; the recipe is cooked exactly as the book states, with the given ingredients. I only recommend what I feel could be good substitutes, if any, after the first time making the recipe

Can confirm this lavender honey bread is honestly an amazing first bread to start off with when baking! The smell is lovely, the flavor of the lavender isn't for me, but this also makes honey bread that's to die for!

It’s a foggy morning and I was given some garden fresh leeks so Skyrim vegetable soup for lunch!

I should have used the bigger pot I have to be really careful stirring so nothing splashes out

"God Soup" - my mom, brain fried and barely functional trying to process anything I'm telling her about the lore of Aedra and Daedra in The Elder Scrolls

[ciceroandlucien]

Made a baked ash yam tonight and by Sithis, it is so good. Why did I sleep on buying this cookbook!? 🤤🤤🤤

We received a review copy of The Elder Scrolls: The Official Cookbook Vol. 2. While we've yet to make any of the meals from it, we have read it. The cookbook is written from an in-universe perspective, from a young chef adventuring across Tamriel to learn more about cooking.

There were a lot of little details that were very interesting to us from a lore perspective, this book legitimately gives us one of the largest looks at life in the Fourth Era across Tamriel. Very surprisingly, it even seemingly confirms the events of one of Skyrim's questlines.

We were particularly surprised that it gave us a look into some of the regions that it did, like the Summerset Isles (although we can't show you previews from those pages yet). And this book can be added to the growing list of evidence that others are aware of M'aiq the Liar.

There was even a surprising segment that explored a very niche lore topic that was of interest to one of our editors (can't show you the preview from that one yet either).

It's kind of strange that one of the most common complaints about recipes are the unnecessary stories that get attached to them, but for this book it was one of the highlights for us. Ironically, this cookbook made us really hungry for them to release more official Elder Scrolls books.

You can find the publisher's official list of links to this book here, and it should be released officially very soon.

This was announced last month but: I provided spot illustrations for The Elder Scrolls: The Official Cookbook releasing September! ♥

One of the authors, Victoria Rosenthal, also runs a blog with tons of recipes from other games like BG3 & Stardew Valley for all skill levels, if you wanna try your hand at recreating some other dishes & desserts!

So, I semi-recently got into making mead. I took an elective class on brewing and distilling my last semester of undergrad (it was classified as a chemical engineering class, lmao) and I loved it. Distilling is something you can only do with a license, and beer brewing is technically easy, but requires a whole setup I don't have space for. Mead, though, is pretty much just mixing honey and water and letting the yeast go to work (it's also a lot less carbs than beer, which my body appreciates).

The first batch I made was pretty terrible, but it wasn't hard to figure out what I did wrong, and the next try was much better. And since I have chronic gamer disease, once I had the method figured out I obviously had to try some of the Skyrim recipes - after all, if it wasn't for Skyrim, I probably wouldn't even know what mead is. I started with the Honningbrew recipe from the official Elder Scrolls cookbook, and it came out great! I have some ideas on how to improve the next batch (I'd really like more flavor from the apple), but I was proud enough of it to whip up a fun little label in photoshop, so I figured I might as well share it here, too.

Anyway, here's your friendly internet reminder that if you think something looks fun, you can literally just.. go do it. It probably will be fun, even if you're bad at it! No one's stopping you except for you.

TES Food::Mushroom & Veg Risotto

The Elder Scrolls: The Official Cookbook

Mushroom and Vegetable Risotto | 4/5

"Versions of this dish can be found all across Tamriel, but using four types of Balmoran mushrooms can give this dish a special regional flavor. This dish is also popular in Skyrim, where its stick-to-the-rib quality makes it a common dish from farmer's cottage to Jarl's hall. After all, in a land of perpetual winter, everybody needs a bowl of warm comfort food from time to time."

⭑⭑⭑⭑☆ | Taste: 4/5

Creamy, saucy, and deliciously savory

⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ | Cooking Ease: 5/5

🥣 Single-pot cookable

⏱ Quick prep + cook time

��� Little prep: the leek is the only thing you need to cut by hand. Otherwise, can use a food processor for the rest

⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ | Cost to Make: 5/5

The leek is the only thing that can get pricey. Asian grocers are your best bet; otherwise, use an onion for a cheaper alternative

Any warm and cozy recipe ideas for a satyr-kin? Or maybe self-care, or masc/dark outfit ideas that come in bigger sizes? Sorry if this is a bit different ^^'

Dont be sorry, I got you!!

So for the fashion I tried to include stuff that was modern/casual that you could wear without drawing too much attention to yourself. I also included some more obviously fantasy-styled clothing if that's your vibe too! I hope these inspire you. I think the puffy legged pants (aka "pirate pants" really give off the vibe and you could incorporate that into a lot of modern outfits!

Cozy Recipes For A Satyr:

Grilled Garlic Mushroom Skewers

Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates

Medieval Potage Stew

Charcuterie!

Herb Baked Eggs

If you love cooking I have to recommend any sort of fantasy/medieval cookbook. They're FILLED with cozy recipes that might scratch that itch for you. You can find a lot of free scans online but I recommend The Elder Scrolls Official Cookbook, Heroes' Feast (Official D&D cookbook), and Tasting History by Max Miller (this guy also has a YouTube channel by the same name where he uploads free tutorials and recipes!)

As For Selfcare:

Feasts!

I'm not sure about you specifically, but its said that satyrs are known to love the pleasures of the flesh. Feasts! Drinking! Be merry! If you can, take the time to have a meal with friends, family or a loved one and just chat it up and have a good time!

Indulge your senses

Surround yourself with things that appeal to your senses. Succulent fruits, vibrant colors in nature, wonderful music, etc.

Ritual Baths

Treat yourself to a bath infused with herbs, flowers and oils. Play some gentle music or ambient nature sounds. Maybe even light some candles!

Seek Adventure

It can be anything from visiting somewhere you've never visited in your local area, to taking a day off to take a hike! Nature spirits thrive on excitement and exploration

Feed your mind

Storytelling and learning. Dive into podcasts, books and mythology and expand your knowledge. Revel in the magic of storytelling!

------------------------------------------------------

I hope you like these! I had a LOT of fun making this. Satyrs are so cool!

Some recipes from the official Elder Scrolls cookbook

[ehgood-enough]

Breaking out the skyrim cookbook again

Potato cheddar soup might be my favorite recipe from it

Used leeks instead of onion because I had some leeks nearing the end of their life

I usually have some bread and butter with it but I didn’t decide to make it until I saw the sad looking leeks. Might have to pick up a loaf for the leftovers though

[rosette-dragonborn]

I am so happy! For Christmas, I got The Elder Scrolls Official Cookbook. It contains classic recipes such as sweetrolls, Elsweyr fondue, S'jirra's famous potato bread, and even 'skooma' (a sweet alcoholic drink). This is the perfect gift for a nerd that likes to cook.

[tastesoftamriel]

I finally got my hands on the elder scrolls cookbook! So frickin hyped to read it!!!! I primarily got it for my partner as they recently have gotten more into cooking and Skyrim has been one of our favorite shared interests.

Sorry if this is weird or something, Im just really happy I got it and I dont have anyone else to share it with.

I don't want anything to do with the official cookbook (long story but you'll probably find some...overlaps in my work and what the author made as "original content") but thanks for thinking of me, I hope it's fun for you regardless. ~Tal

[theleastprofessionalchef]

Lunch! Today's lunch all comes from the official Elder Scrolls Cookbook, which I've made quite a few recipes since getting it for Christmas! They've all been delightful so far ^^

We've got Redguard Rice (ground lamb and wild rice), Stewed Apples and Eidar Cheese (sweetened spiced stewed apples with goat cheese), and Potato Bread (what it says on the tin)!

Today's a half day, so no dinner posting tonight! Might share something else I've been working on for a couple weeks though~
