[Please Take A Look Square] Eorzea Cookbook possibility?

I didn't read all the posts so if someone already mentioned this then please disregard:

There's an official Game of Thrones cookbook called A Feast of Ice and Fire and the recipes are all taken from the books (even includes the portion of the chapter where the meals are mentioned). The folks who put the book together did a good job substituting real items for fictional/extinct items.

I bet something like that could easily be thrown together for Final Fantasy. Hell, we could probably just do it ourselves if SE doesn't. Anyone game for this? Could be fun!

I'm totally game for this lol. Just read the first post...if SE doesn't I will!

Drinks based on video game properties seem to have gained some popularity in 'geek bar' circles. There are already a number of drinks based on Final Fantasy. I'm not one for alcohol myself, but nonetheless these ideas came to me. I have no idea what would go into making them, I just think they have a potential to be visually striking, and I imagine that when one is making food and drink based on a fantasy world, presentation counts quite a lot!

Elixir: Make it red-orange and tart. The in-game recipe also calls for nutmeg, but let's not bother with the mistletoe.
Ceruleum Cooler: Make it deep blue and slightly milky. Bonus points for setting it aflame before serving.
Atma Weapon: Use four different fruit juices/flavors in red, yellow, green and blue colors, frozen into miniature ice cubes. Suspend a dozen of these in a clear drink. No FATE grinding required!

*Disclaimer: I am in no way advocating the consumption of alcohol. I don't even drink. Any or all of these could be non-alcoholic drinks, and I would prefer it that way so that they could be appreciated by a greater portion of the XIV community.

As long as you don't include real-life variants for Finger Sandwiches and Eel Pies.....

Lol, but seriously this would be an awesome idea. Somehow I feel like Welch's Apple Juice just isn't cutting it, I bet Apple Juice made from 100% Eorzean Mirror Apples would be at least 400% better. And I would love to know what the hell Bouillabaisse tastes like. Seafood soup? MMMMMMM.

+1 as someone who would BUY this cookbook.

Seems like this is gaining quite the popularity... yay!

One of these days I'm going to try to BS my way into making shallops tropicale.

I will never let this thread die qq
Buuuump!

MY BUMPS WILL BLOT OUT THE SUN >:C

I'd be really curious to see someone pull off the Jerked Beef recipe with real bison meat.

I'd be equally repulsed if anyone dared to attempt Sautéed Coeurl with anything feline. We gotta draw a line somewhere.

Bouillabaisse is a traditional French soup.

It IS delicious.

I would be glad to help with this as well. I love to cook and regularly get together with friends who are professional chefs to try new recipes. They aren't FFXIV players, but all of them are old-school gamers who would get a kick out of the idea as well.

Hi Altijacek! I am a food blogger who would love to be involved with this if you really do want to get something rolling. With the laid-back attitude Japanese companies usually have about fanbases, I don't think Square Enix would attack an attempt of its creation. There's always the possibility of making something online to start?

I'm super into bentos, here is some of my recent work, starting with a Chocobo bento!

Thus thread is now making me hungry @,...,@
And bump~
Glad to see some recipes are popping up too :3
I'd love to contribute my cooking skills aren't good enough for stuff like what has been posted lol

Hmmm, now I want to join in on this...in fact, I'd -love- to see someone do eel pies. Eel is actually really, really good, so long as you're open to trying stuff that isn't mainstream western food; it's fairly prevalent in Japanese food, and easily one of my favorite kinds of fish - though I can say that I've only had it in different kinds of sushi.

I've got a very good cheesecake recipe that could easily be modified for a rolanberry cheesecake...HMMM.
