Description

Feast like the gods with sixty food and drink recipes inspired by the world of Lore Olympus—with a foreword by Rachel Smythe, plus sumptuous illustrations and photographs throughout!

Uncover the culinary secrets of the Lore Olympus pantheon with this official cookbook that breathes fresh life into traditional Greek cuisine. Organised by season, each chapter offers a recipe for any time of day—whether you are hankering for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a bright pink mocktail! And if you want to party like an Olympian, there are four feasts at the end of each section to serve as inspiration for a themed party.

In these delectable recipes, discover the divinity of Persephone's baklava. Work your own magic with a colour-changing cocktail favoured by Hecate. Savour mouthwatering souvlaki (with easy instructions for cooking in the oven if, like a certain King of the Underworld, you don't have an outdoor grill) and more!

The Official Lore Olympus Cookbook is a must-have for all fans of the Eisner Award-winning series.
