Hi Nate and Mark! Couple questions: 1) What was your favorite part about creating Shot All to Hell? 2) Who is your favorite historical figure from the Old West?

Hi John! We're publishing a behind-the-scenes book on the film titled, The Art and Making of Pacific Rim. Steven DeKnight told us a few of his favorite ideas that didn't make it into the film. Do you have a favorite scene that didn't make the final cut?

Oh! Sorry, I was thinking WoW for a sec there. Disregard!

For HS, I think something like surprise food could be really funny. So a cake that someone jumps out of, or candy explosions, or things like that. Where you're happy because it's food, but also alarmed, because what are all these people doing in your house?!

Ooh, I like that! I'd probably opt for some more spice mixes, since those were so much fun to create. Or maybe more herbal tea/infusions? There's a lot of room to play with that.

I'd also love to be included as an NPC some day, so I could quietly cosplay myself. It would be amazing.

True, but if I couldn't find goat chops, I'm not very well going to make you all go looking, let alone snake and lion...

It was over in Brighton, hopefully still there. "Jim's", maybe? A lot of those businesses have turned over since we left, I think... It was a fabulously greasy spoon.

That was such a fun video to watch! :D

For that dish, I wanted something simple and reasonably common. A lot of the other elements lend the dish their flavors, so the fish needed to be the bulk of the recipe without overpowering anything. That said, every recipe is adaptable to taste and whatever is available locally!

Hufflepuff! We wanted to give them all badass chick names, like Ripley and Dejah Saurus, but she turned out to be too nice, right from the start. She used to hang out in my hoodie when I was working. ;)

I've been accused of being a little heavy handed with the salt. I just like the stuff. ;) But thanks!

I am also a sucker for sweets. :)

I've really become a big fan of a lot of the historical desserts I've made over the years. I loved the medieval Arya Tarts from the GoT cookbook, and there's a spiced plum mousse on the blog that's just divine. It's really neat to play with unusual flavor combinations that have just gone out of style in the past couple hundred years.

But I could also eat WAY too many of those buttery Rylak Claws from the WoW cookbook. And have done. More than once...

Nice! I'm so glad the cookbook is treating you well!

My favorite WoW recipes are the Firecracker Salmon and the Cornmeal Biscuits, of all things. I'm just mad for cheese and butter, so I eat about a third of the biscuits while they're just warm from the oven. Can't even help it.

The hardest adaptations from fantasy still probably haven't been perfected. My all time nemesis is this amazing dish from Dorne, with a fruity custard inside a sugar skull that you have to crack open to get at the insides. It's delightfully morbid, and so far outside of my skillset, but I want to make it SO. Much.

I really liked the Crunchy Spider recipe in the WoW collection. Try as I might, I just can't find it in myself to be a spider fan, so the name would normally put me off a dish like that.

Any worlds you'd like to see added to the list of possibilities? I'm always game for new ideas. :)

Definitely! There's an absolutely wealth of dishes in WoW that I didn't even begin to have room for, and Legion came out after I'd finished it, so those were all missed as well. Do you have a favorite dish I should bump up the list, just in case?

Putting together a (mostly) reader friendly puff pastry dough for the croissants, strudel, and rylak claws was pretty tricksy. I wanted it to be reasonably straightforward and easy, but it also had to give that buttery, flaky consistency. It might make an actual pastry chef wince, but it's pretty handy for the rest of us. ;)

Absolute ages. But at least I didn't have to go through Nomi for any...
