[Becca · Rating 5 out of 5]

After the release of Cooking with Wizards, Warriors and Dragons, I was excited to hear about a drink recipe book in the same vein! The illustrations are just as delightful, the text just as informative and humorous, and there's an even greater range of fantasy books this time around (hello, all of the Naomi Novik! ACOTAR! V.E. Schwab! D&D campaigns!). We've enjoyed trying out some of these drinks and look forward to sampling even more. Thea James clearly has a passion and talent for this and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
