It has come to my attention that somehow, after over a year of inactivity on my beloved Tastes of Tamriel, I have amassed over 12.1k followers, 2.2k cookbook downloads, and almost 700 worldbuilding compendium downloads. Tastes of Tamriel/Talviel's Kitchen has always been free/donation based, and between 2017-2024 I grew an amazing community of fans and friends. I could not be prouder of anything I've done in my life.
Thank you for all the support and love you've shown over the years to my nerdy little tribute to The Elder Scrolls. Thanks for sticking with me through it all. Y'all helped me raise thousands of £ for visas, a laptop, and food when I was barely scraping by. Your positivity and feedback made this blog an absolute joy to run. I even cherish my stupid Adoring Fan tattoo because I lost a bet with Tumblr.
You all made the whole ride worth it. Tastes of Tamriel was never meant to be anything more than a little nook on Tumblr where I dumped my depression meal recipes when I was at the lowest point in my life. Looking back on everything I've accomplished over eight years later, it still blows my mind that so many of you believed in me when I didn't. From being featured in YouTube videos by Quench Quest and Imperial Knowledge to selling hard copies of my cookbook thanks to @scrollsnsketchbooks, I just want you to know that I am grateful.
And in case you missed it, both my books are downloadable completely free as a thank you to the community who made me who I am today. Long live Tastes of Tamriel.
Stay safe, eat well, be kind. All my love,
~Tal/Talviel
