The Name of the Wind: Pork & Sage Stew
“ I used my small cookpot to make a stew with the leftover pork from lunch, some carrots and potatoes, and the onions I’d found. I seasoned it with salt, pepper, and sage, then warmed a loaf of flatbread near the fire and broke open the wax on the cheese. Last of all, I tucked…
The Kingkiller Chronicles: Cornish Hen & Mushroom Cream Sauce
“The soup was taken away and replaced with a piece of meat I assumed was pheasant covered in a thick cream sauce. I was surprised to find it quite to my taste.” – The Wise Man’s Fear While we used a Cornish game hen for this, I’d imagine a pheasant or other delicate game bird…
The Kingkiller Chronicles: Auri’s Salted Caramel Kitty Buns

The Kingkiller Chronicles: Chicken Pies with Sage & Carrot

The Kingkiller Chronicles: Peppercorn Beef Stew
“There were footsteps in the hall, and a young man stepped into the room carrying a bowl of stew that steamed and smelled of pepper. He was dark and charming, with a quick smile and cunning eyes.“ – The Name of the Wind I have a soft spot for stews. They’re easy to make, filling,…
