In the meantime, I plan to cook the recipes, user by user, in some weeks along the year. If you want to do it along, comment on this post so that I can tell you in advance when I'll do them, maybe post some photos.

I tried this Broccoli recipe from the Tolkien food week

Also I forgot to photograph the finished product because I'm a goof. It was yummy though!

Last night I made @hastyhobbit 's elderflower pancakes

This recipe proves to be just the right thing for Thranduil's afternoon tea 🌸

I'm glad I caught elderflower season, thank you OP for sharing this with us!

[tolkien-food-week]

This month I made @foxindarkness recipes of couscous, scones, mulled wine and seed cake

All quite delicious, though I am yet to try the scones bc I'm saving them for tomorrow's breakfast 😋 and I cannot find the mulled wine picture 😅

Thank you op! This weekend I'll try to make @hastyhobbit 's elderflower pancakes 🌿

I made orange scones using @foxindarkness recipe @tolkien-food-week

(+icing sugar and orange juice/ zest glaze)

[tolkien-food-week]

Seem delicious 🤩

[tolkien-food-week]

Spoonie mushroom potato soup from @finchinmoria today, though I added a lot of garlic and substituted the basil for fresh dill because that is what I had. It's SO good.

[tolkien-food-week]

I made the rohirrim apple tart from @from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras today.

Ignore the slight char on the apple slices 😅

Everyone loved it despite my oven being a little too intense. I'm gonna admit I'm not a big apple tart fan but this one I'll make again enthusiastically! The yogurt base is a good trick 🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎

[tolkien-food-week]

I made the cake from @moringottocake 's username last night. Let me tell you it had a bit of success!!! I used normal cocoa and coconut flavored rum.

I am horribly late and I originally wanted to post a fanfic with it but here is a little something for @tolkien-food-week. I got obsessed with blueberry muffins last year because of Maglor (I work in weird way when it comes to food obsessions) so I had to share the recipe.

Made them today! Thank you @holy-marmalade this is very appreciated 🫐

[tolkien-food-week]

hey people, this month i made @the-lady-general 's recipes (most of them) :

Mushroom soup, goat cheese quiche, quark, mint and lavender tea (did not take a photo), honey cakes, radish leaf salad.

Everything was very good, but i must admit I fumbled the honey cakes very much (it shows). Oh well, we're here to learn!!!

[tolkien-food-week]

This past weeks I made some of @tamilhobbit 's recipes, which made me explore her recipe blog, you have to go see it if you haven't already it's full of fun recipes!

-mushroom pasties, with help from this kitchen gadget I already had

-hazelnut treats (very good way to keep going at work)

-mushroom stew (this actually tasted very close to a dish my mom makes, it is deliciously nostalgic, though I made other with leftover rice)

- mushroom potato stew (utter success)

-lembas!

[tolkien-food-week]

Well this is on topic

[tolkien-food-week]

@nelyoslegalteam 's recipes from this week, minus the tea!

Cheddar bay biscuits, cabbage stew and earl grey cookies. All were a success! And it's snowing here in France so hearty comforting food like that is quite welcome 🥰

[tolkien-food-week]

Hi everyone,

This month, I made some of @erathene 's recipes :

Broccoli orzo bake, egg sandwich, carrot oatmeal, croutons and fries!

Very good!

Thank you erathene! Next I'm onto @nelyoslegalteam and @tamilhobbit 's recipes!

[tolkien-food-week]

Does anyone have a good lembas recipe?

Breaks and cakes day is on the 4th of november of anyone is up to answer this.

[general-illyrin]

I haven't made any of these myself, but I did some searching and found a couple recipes:

This iconic one that a lot of people seem to like (I saw another version that was the same as this but added a pinch of nutmeg)

The same as above, but with some suggestions on tweaking the recipe in the reblog

This recipe with only three ingredients

This post has a different recipe after all the pictures

And this recipe from the cookbook Recipes From the World of Tolkien

[abner-krill]

I swear by this recipe from Entropy House, I have been making it reliably for the last 15 years, and everyone I make it for loves it. It's also easy to do variations on if you want. You don't need anything special or fancy on hand beyond what you might already have laying around, besides keeping a bottle of lemon extract handy, so I've made this on the fly many times when the urge gets me.

(the link also takes you to a little craft on making Lembas wrappers! Give it a try but I suggest lining the foam or making it from fabric/paper for uhhh toxic plastic foam reasons)

From the website:

2 1/2 cups of flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

8 Tablespoons cold butter

1/3 cup sugar

2/3 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

Preheat over to 425 degrees.

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Chop butter into mixture with a pastry cutter or knead in with your fingers until you get a crumbly mixture. Add sugar and mix. Add milk and lemon extract and stir with a fork until dough forms.

Roll the dough out about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out 3 inch squares and transfer to a cookie sheet. Criss-cross each square from corner to corner with a knife. Bake for about 12 minutes or until set and lightly golden. Makes 10 to 12.
