Very fun and entertaining cookbook! This was a joy to read, with engaging writing, fun recipes, and wonderful photos. The Princess Bride is one of my favorite films and the idea of having a cookbook with recipes inspired from the film intrigued me. I like to plan menus for movie marathons with my family and this cookbook will fit right in! Can't wait to plan a family movie night where I can try more of these recipes.

Great idea. Well executed. Lots of fun.

my thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this digital ARC. This is my honest review.

I absolutely love The Princess Bride so as soon as I saw this I knew I needed to read it!
It's full of stunning photography and amazing-sounding recipes, whats not to love? The author is so very clearly a lover of this film/book as well and it comes through so well, as does her humour( i couldn't help but giggle at times). I love her little snippets of information about the difference between the two or where she gets the ideas for the recipes from (Andre the giant bringing french delicacies to set after visits home for example).
I had to try at least one recipe out before reviewing( ill try the rest when I buy the book) so I made Fezzicks restorative stew and it was stunning! The recipe was clear and easy to follow and really well laid out.
This book is a must for any fan of The Princess Bride, go buy it now I promise you won't regret it!

This cookbook is the perfect gift for fans of The Princess Bride! It is full of fifty recipes that sound very tasty and I would love to try some of them out since I love cooking and am always looking for delicious new recipes. It was neatly presented and I loved the photos. The recipes look easy to follow and fun to make!

This is a neat little cookbook! I probably won't make any of the recipes, (although I'm really considering the "Battle of the Wits" Brie and Apple Crostini), but this provided a lot of nostalgia.

This book contains recipes for drinks/cocktails ("Vengeful Spaniard Sangria"!), appetizers ("Prepare to Die Fiery Spanish Croquetas"), soups & stews ("Florinese Mawidge Soup"!), Main dishes ("Humperdinck's Crown Roast" or a "Mutton, Lettuce & Tomato"), desserts ("Have Fun Storming the Chastletes" or "Twu Wuv Twuffles"!)

I think I like "Twu Wuv Twuffles" the best 😁

This would be enjoyable for just about any fan of The Princess Bride!

The Princess Bride is one of my favorite novels. The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies. So, when I learned there was an Unofficial Princess Bride Cookbook released in celebration of the movie’s 35th anniversary in 2022, I knew I had to read it, and it was no surprise that I loved every page!

The introduction, which presents The Princess Bride as a story about stories, argues that food is a “great people-uniter”, recognizing the power of foodways to bring families and cultures together. Divided into sections like Drinks and Cocktails (Boooooooze!), Soups and Stews (Are you just ladling around with me or what?), Appetizers and Accompaniments (Do you always begin meals this way?), Main Courses (Prepare to dine!), and Cakes, Pies and Tarts (I’ll eat you both apart! I’ll bake you both together!), this book is designed to make the reader smile. The recipes, which are all accompanied by beautiful full color photos, include “Mostly Dead Corpse Reviver”, “Fezzik’s Restorative Stew”, “Pre-torture Nourishment”, and “Buttercup’s Perfect (Chicken) Breasts.” The author also proposes complete party menus for a “Feast of Insanity” and a “Storming the Castle Banquet”. Every page is full of mouthwatering nostalgia.

In addition to the recipes, the book proposes a drinking game for watching the film, encouraging readers to take a sip every time Westley says “as you wish” or Fezzik rhymes a word. There are also tidbits of information about the book and movie scattered throughout the pages.

Although I didn’t try any of the recipes, I absolutely loved this book and would recommend it to all fans of The Princess Bride. This hardcover volume would make a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys the story, and it may even inspire some Princess Bride Costume parties complete with the perfect snacks and drinks. Have fun storming the kitchens!

Thank you to Netgalley for a free copy of the book in exchange for a fair review.

I grew up uttering the famous catch phrase, “my name is Indigo Montoya...” whenever the Princess Bride came on. This cookbook is a throwback to my childhood and so much fun. The recipe names are catchy, the ingredients are easy to find and the photographs provide all the information for a successful dish. Lots of care was put into this book to provide the narration about the recipes and the movie connections. Well done!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- Great cover on this book.

I can't lie. I have yet to meet a themed cookbook I didn't love. And this one was no different. This cookbook is broken down into the following chapters <b>("DRINKS AND COCKTAILS, SOUPS AND STEWS, APPETIZERS AND ACCOMPANIMENTS, MAIN COURSES, CAKES, PIES, AND TARTS. OTHER DESSERTS AND CANDIES, VEGAN, VEGETARIAN, AND KOSHER REPLACEMENTS, and finally PARTY PLANNING").</b> The recipes themselves are well laid out and easy to follow. Each also comes with a bit of information from the movie and some also include tips. Both the graphics and the photos also make this cookbook incredibly visually pleasing and fun to flip through.

A few of the recipes I have tried are the...<b>"Four White Horses" cocktail</B> Yum! <b>"Arancini a la Vizzini"</b>Double yum! <-- these were a party favorite. <b>"The Machine's Excruciating Tourtiere"</B> 100% worth the work! And lastly...<b>"Anybody Want A Peanut (Buttercup)"</b> I am still drooling.

If you love themed cookbooks, and you love the Princess Bride movie, then this cookbook should definitely be on your radar.

I love the replacement options. All the drinks and food seem so tasty and easy to follow. Can't wait to have a movie night and share these snacks and drinks.

interesting recipes with names related to the greatest movie of all time. I will definitely be ordering to try some of the creations

A very creative cookbook which is great for fans of Princess Bride. The cookbook has quotes from the film as well as good photography of the recipes and a nice layout.

An interesting spin off for all Princess Bride fans. Here is a book of recipes inspired by the film.
A bit of fun reading through them, not sure I will be rustling up any of these though!

The food looks delicious, the recipes tie in directly to the movie/book and the author calls out moments when the food is actually used when applicable. I loved the images, the tips from the author about cooking that specific recipe were helpful and overall this would be a fun cookbook to use for a literary-themed party or just for a regular event/dinner.

I'm in love with this book! It's absolutely stunning and has so many incredible looking and unique recipes. The puns had me laughing out loud as I scanned through to see what to make next.

This is my second Princess Bride cookbook and I'm so happy I have both. They are very different and this one in particular not only looks more "regal" but also has some "higher class" recipes. They are very fancy and beautifully plated. The pictures would make it a fantastic coffee book table.

My only complaints are that there are no cooking and prep times (seemingly a common occurrence for Princess Bride cookbooks) and that there's not many recipes I can pull straight from my pantry for. This is definitely a cookbook you will want to plan to use and not just have to cook on a whim.

"I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."
This was not what I was expecting, but it was well done. It all tied into the original book well. This cookbook and these recipes are more for adult readers of the Princess Bride, not a kid's book club part unless it was a very refined one.

This was a fantastic cookbook, and the Princess Bride puns and references were spot on! The layout and style were excellent and I loves all the filigree. The food and drink photos were vivid and looked delicious. And a huge bonus was including a picture with every single recipe. The instructions seem easy to follow. The vegan, vegetarian, and kosher replacements in the end were a great touch.

This book is the unofficial princess bride cookbook. One of my favorite movies and let me tell you all of this food looks absolutely delicious. I love when people make unofficial cookbooks to my favorite movies or TV shows. I will definitely be telling my friends about this as they love this movie as well and can quote it Word for Word. The cocktails look absolutely delicious as well and one of my favorite names chosen was the.”nearly dead” cocktail. if you need me, I’ll be re-watching this movie.

This was a really cute and well thought out recipe book! The recipes look delicious and match the story/Characters well. I loves that there was a party dish plan pairi g different items for a cohesive meal. I can't wait to try some of these out!

I really enjoyed reading this! The author’s love of The Princess Bride is very evident throughout the book. While I’m not sure that I would make very many, if any, of the recipes (and I love to cook and bake), just reading this book is fun. It’s perfect for any true Princess Bride fan.

Thank you so much to NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary digital ARC for The Unofficial Princess Bride Cookbook coming out April 4, 2023. The honest opinions expressed in this review are my own.

The Princess Bride is an iconic and easily quotable movie that has been beloved for generations. From “As You Wish” and “Inconceivable” to “Have Fun Storming the Castle” and “My Name is Inigo Montoya,” The Princess Bride left an everlasting mark on pop culture.

In celebration of the movie’s 35th anniversary in 2022, The Unofficial Princess Bride Cookbook is the perfect for fans to fix the dishes and watch the movie for the millionth time.

Some of the iconic recipes include:
 
* Albino’s Pre-Torture Nourishment
* MLT: Mutton, Lettuce, and Tomato
* Shrieking Eel Pie
* “The Tuna Fish Discrepancy”
* Fezzik’s Restorative Stew
* Four White Horses
* “Mostly Dead” Corpse Reviver

I love cookbooks, especially when they’re related to books and movies. I thought this was a really fun book! The chocolate drink recipe sounds delicious. I also love all the soups. The references to the movie are short but fun. The MLT also sounds delicious.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys movie cookbooks!

I am going to cook my way entirely through this gorgeous cookbook but I couldn't wait that long to give my review! From the cover, which beautifully matches my hardcover edition of The Princess Bride, to the punny recipe names, to the historical facts and basis in canon for the food choices, I love it all. The party planning section with suggested menus is a wonderful touch. I'm an amateur mixologist myself and the cocktail section does a great job of explaining each and providing variations for "virginizing" each. This would be a great gift for fans of The Princess Bride: it's bound to be "twu wuv" (sorry, I had to!).
