To say I was excited about the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild would be an understatement. In fact, if you’ve been following the blog for a while, you might remember I threw a Breath of the Wild cookout last year to celebrate its announcement. I only had a few screenshots and videos to go on at the time and I still managed to churn out 8 recipes haha. Suffice it to say that when I actually got the game in my hands I had a recipe notebook ready to go in the other hand (three hands? eh whatever.)  Anyway, I wanted to start off my Breath of the Wild recipe series with a bang, so here’s the fan favorite and number one requested recipe from my Twitter followers: the Monster Cake.

I have a confession to make, everyone: I am not a mushroom fan. Although I’m starting to come around, I still take my pizza sans shrooms and try to avoid the occasional portobello burger that comes my way.

That’s right, this week I’m going to show you all how to cook with snow!

Pokémon

“It’s the miraculous munchy born in Alola!”

Even though Pokémon games don’t have the robust menu that most JRPGs boast nowadays, the few food items they DO have are just so unique and iconic that I just can’t help wanting to make them for myself! I especially like when the food item compliments the region like the Lumiose Galettes do in Pokémon X & Y.  The Kalos region in those games was based heavily on Northern France so they included a version of the classic galette des rois pastry. Pokémon Sun & Moon takes place in the Alola region (a fantastical interpretation of the Hawaiian islands) so it’s only fitting that the unique food item from these games be the traditional Hawaiian doughnut known as Malasada.
