The eight chapters of this cookbook each imagines a restaurant (inn, cafE, or bistro) which caters to particular archetypal characters in the fantasy genre and presents a delicious meal for them.

Halfling Hideaway is the perfect cozy spot for characters small of stature, yet big of heart. Here, you can enjoy Stout & Sturdy Chicken & Dumplings, Six of One Half a Dozen Soup, and Nutty Honey Bars.

The Inn of the Doughty Hero provides hearty food for the hero on the move. This is the place to bring your freshly acquired game and any sort of fruits or vegetables you've managed to forage during your journeys in the wild.

Quest Depot is your one-stop shop for nutritious, more portable goodies to bring on your Seemingly Hopeless Enterprise. Cheesy pies and buttery cookies will help you survive those perilous road trips.

The Epic-Urean caters to wizards, witches, and alchemists--characters who like a bit of danger and complexity in their meal preparations. You can dabble with Crackling Caramel Sauce, and enjoy the precision of Treasured Tidbits (sushi) and Sine Qua Non Chicken.

GlitnIr's Hall serves wholly hearty food for dwarves; mushrooms and bacon are quite popular in this establishment.
