Because I spend so much time with Westerosi food, it’s inevitable that a few dishes creep into our mundane holidays. Here are my suggestions for the best dishes to compliment your festive gatherings, and what you can sneak by the in-laws without them ever suspecting that it’s medieval or geeky.
We’re starting with Halloween, and will update the other holidays as we go! Recipes in italics are forthcoming, and recipes with an asterisk are in the cookbook, so those of you who have it can include those as well.
