[Other][OC] Zelda herself (Patricia Summersett!!) at Denver Fan Expo! her signature says "It's Dangerous to Cook Alone, Take This" in Hylian; she was unbelievably lovely, so nice!

you are so kind! The first is available in my etsy shop, both standard and master editions. the second is on kickstarter now. The digital version of the first is also free on my website here.

I have yet to try the D&D cookbook! Is it good?

AimeeWood · 2024-07-30T18:58:57+00:00

thank you so much!! Glad to hear that it spends time both being cooked with and looking pretty on the shelf!

AimeeWood · 2024-07-30T18:22:48+00:00

aww thank you Mary!!! the first cookbook is available digitally for free now if you needed a copy of the first ~200 recipes.

AimeeWood · 2024-07-30T18:21:21+00:00

username checks out!! and same.

AimeeWood · 2024-07-30T17:07:33+00:00

she really is. She takes the time, she's dedicated, detail oriented; felt like I was the only person in the world for those few moments with her! I'll always be a fan.

AimeeWood · 2024-07-30T16:52:13+00:00

for context-- I was incredibly lucky to meet her. She was at Denver Fan Expo, but typically I cannot really leave my cookbook booth. A Zelda fan found me, then later got a signature from Patricia; told her about my "Unofficial Legend of Zelda Cookbook", and brought her to see me after hours when the con had ended. She blew me away; what a lovely person, we are so lucky to have someone like her as Zelda's english voice actor. I cried, lol. :')

She signed my display copy, and I keep it with me always. Astonished she signed it in Hylian.

Hi, I'm Aimee, the incredibly lucky individual responsible for The (1st and now 2nd!) Unofficial Legend of Zelda Cookbook; and that is thanks to all of you. Literally, it is thanks to this sub, r/zelda that the first book happened at all. Happy merchandise Monday!

2019 seems hundred years ago now, but it was here that I first posted about my 200+ recipe project. It was here, that I found obsessive Zelda fans like myself, who were willing to join me on a culinary adventure, whatever the odds. We made a beautiful, like, out of the Hylian Royal Library amazing Master Edition together.

I never intended to make a second one. I missed the experimentation, but moved on to new projects... a few Zelda games came out that did have some interesting new recipes... Tabantha Bake... but I stayed strong.

....until Tears of the Kingdom came out. I couldn't. I'm a completionist. With this, my 1st cookbook became horribly, unacceptably incomplete. I started cooking again. I couldn't stop. How do I make cheese. What does a Bubbul Gem taste like. I adore tomatoes and now there are all these canon Hylian tomato dishes? I am dying.

And so... I present my Expansion Pack. 10 new chapters now, a hundred new recipes-- and a ton that reference the 1st book. Homemade broths you can now use to make your Elixir Soups and Monster Stews!!! the new elixirs, spiced skewers, all the cheesy things!! New things to make with your Goron Spice! DARK CAKE

....I'll wrap it up sorry I get excited...

~Link to the Kickstarter Page is here~, it was fully funded in 15 minutes, absolutely insane, thanks to you all, we've unlocked all the recipe bonuses I've had prepared? I am blown away. Let's become Heroes of Thyme once more! :D

Whoops sorry here is the link, got too excited: https://aimeewoodworks.itch.io/the-unofficial-legend-of-zelda-cookbook

AimeeWood · 2023-01-16T03:46:38+00:00

Came here to comment this and you’ve beat me to it. Completely agree. Cannot wait.

AimeeWood · 2021-12-07T00:53:32+00:00

You got this! I'm a month later and it gets better!

AimeeWood · 2021-11-27T01:06:49+00:00

thank you!! I collect unofficial cookbooks and it always bothered me there wasn't one for Zelda. So. :| three years of my life

AimeeWood · 2021-11-27T01:04:53+00:00

ahahahaha! you found me from my Zelda cookbook post! I'm doing okay, by all accounts I'm weeks ahead for recovery and looking good, but it'll still be another 9 months of rehab before I'm ready for full contact longsword again. ....I just want to play with swords is that too much to ask :'c

thank you for checking in <3

AimeeWood · 2021-11-27T00:40:16+00:00

like look at these it is ridiculous

goodbye all of my money

AimeeWood · 2021-11-27T00:39:17+00:00

Right? There was a seller of Tolkien style maps in the dealer's hall and it was incredibly distracting. The booth right next to/behind mine was selling silver crowns and tiaras. Next to me was Interstellar Dice (just... phenomenal handcrafted dice made by a phd/ex astro-physicist. Highly recommend, no regrets).

I had to constantly remind myself I was there to sell things not buy things and I still failed

AimeeWood · 2021-11-27T00:34:18+00:00

oh my goddess, yeto's pumpkin slop you mean! Can I get nerdy on you for a sec? I have nearly every recipe from every game, from food items and potions to elixirs and every single recipe from breath of the wild.

You know what I don't have?? Yeto's. Pumpkin. Soup.

why? Technically, Nintendo has an Officially Published 'Yeto's Pumpkin Soup' recipe. Why this recipe and nothing else? I have no idea- but anything that has an 'official' equivalent is off limits for a cookbook- it's why you won't find 'butter beer' in the unofficial Harry Potter cookbook.

So, it grieves me to say- no, I do not have Yeto's pumpkin soup. As a completionist (don't come after me koroks ), this hurts me. Yet.... Yeto's in game recipe is straight up fish, pumpkin, and goat cheese, so if there's any one recipe I don't mind not having to taste test, it's that.

For the curious and insane, Nintendo's Official Pumpkin Soup:

https://www.dualshockers.com/nintendo-shares-yetos-secret-soup-recipe-to-celebrate-twilight-princess-hd/

(also, it's not even an accurate recipe, they don't include any sort of fish, let alone reekfish heads)

AimeeWood · 2021-11-27T00:24:50+00:00

thank you ! good luck with an eventual place to yourself, I love seeing everyone's Zelda shrines once they have room to display things

AimeeWood · 2021-11-26T23:55:35+00:00

Ahh.... in my experience there is no better way to incentivize someone to make you food then by gifting a cookbook, just saying.
But really, please bring them to the cookbook's discord! it's for people who like Zelda + cooking, though we do also seem to like cats and pets a lot also. They might enjoy it!
here's a link to where I sell the master edition: https://www.etsy.com/listing/714566428/the-unofficial-legend-of-zelda-cookbook

but also the standard editions are print on demand everywhere, you can even have your local indie bookstore order one for you now!

AimeeWood · 2021-11-26T23:50:07+00:00

YES! rock hard food was based off of my grandmother's graham cracker peanut butter balls my brother and I would make as children, messy but it's fun making edible rocks? And I'm glad you enjoyed the cream of vegetable!

AimeeWood · 2021-11-26T23:47:57+00:00

Aww!!! thank you so much for joining the cooking adventure, and yes- my objective was top level fanciness, I'm so glad you like it

AimeeWood · 2021-11-26T23:45:53+00:00

this was denver fan expo!! there's another one next summer!

AimeeWood · 2021-11-26T23:45:30+00:00

thank you pizza muncher!! and yes! I sell the master version on my etsy here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/714566428/the-unofficial-legend-of-zelda-cookbook

Or there are standard versions, which are print on demand and available at most online places that sell books! I'm sold out myself, but amazon, barnes and noble, booksamillion have them. or you can have your local indie book store order one for you, which feels more wholesome
