I love cooking and I love The Princess Bride so was very excited to be able to review this book. And I certainly wasn't disappointed.

There are quotes and pictures strewn amongst the recipes, which was just an added bonus. But, the recipes are the star here. One sounds more delicious than the next. I did make the Buttercup Buttermilk Scones (scones are my favorite) along with Hash You Wish and Farm Boy Breakfast and they all turned out great. The recipes were easy to follow with regular ingredients and tasted delicious.

This will definitely be purchased for my collection - loved it!

I accessed a digital review copy of this book from the publisher.
This cookbook is based on the book and film The Princes Bride. Throughout the cookbook, there are pictures from the film and quotes and passages from the book/film. All of the recipes are themed for the title and the actual food fits as well. The recipes are fairly easy and clearly explained. There are pictures of most of the dishes. The author also made sure to note gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan dishes.
I look forward to making everything and having a watch/reading party with food to match.

This was a lovely read that brought the film to life through food. I enjoyed trying a couple of recipes and was delighted with the outcome. I'm a big lover of breakfast so I made the Buttercup Buttermilk Scones and they were delicious. I also tried The Grandson's Soup and Sandwich because I love a good soup during the colder months. It turned out great and was a tasty treat. This book includes a wonderful array of recipes that were inspired by and seen in the film. I look forward to trying more of them and thinking about the movie while I do. If you are a fan of The Princess Bride and love to eat you should definitely give this book a try.

This is a great cookbook for fans of the film, The Princess Bride. It features more than 50 recipes for dishes seen in, and inspired by, the film, including:
• Buttercup Buttermilk Scones
• Hash You Wish
• Farm Boy Breakfast
• Six-Fingered Sandwiches
• Chips of Insanity
• MLT
• The Grandson’s Soup and Sandwich
• Vizzini’s Sicilian Meatballs
• Fezzik’s Stew
• The Spaniard’s Paella
• Bread Pirate Roberts
• Twu Wove’s Kiss Cookies
• Iocane Powder Punch
• Inigo Montoya’s Taste of Revenge
It is a mixture of movie quotes, pictures and dishes inspired by different parts of the movie. This book would be a nice gift for a collector or movie fan. I would like to thank NetGalley and Ben Bella Books: Smart Pop for a copy for an honest review.

So many amazing and fun recipes. I am a huge princess bride fan and any princess bride lover would love this cook book.

I love to read cookbooks and collect literary cookbooks so was very excited to have the opportunity to read an advance reader copy of this cookbook. There are so many things I love about this cookbook, the quotes, movie trivia and movie stills. There are seven sections, Enchanting Breakfast, Gallant Lunches, Adventurous Dinners, Swashbuckling Snacks, Valiant Desserts, Triumphant Drinks and Momentous Soirée’s. The recipes themselves have whimsical names reflective of the movie for example, Buttercup Buttermilk Scones and Prince Humperdinck’s Eggs and Soldiers. The recipes are pretty basic/simple/standard, for instance Prince Humperdinck’s Eggs and Soldiers is basically a soft boiled egg in a cup with toast cut into strips to dip in the yolk. I don’t think recipes need to be complicated for a cookbook to be successful, these recipes are easy to follow and for the most part, use simple common ingredients. I think what makes this cookbook great is the storytelling within the cookbook. I really enjoyed the last section, Momentous Soirée’s, which pairs recipes within the book to help create a perfect gathering. For me, the only disappointment is that there are very few photos of the actual final food product. I need the visual and wish there were more of those.

While it isn’t an earth shattering cookbook packed with recipes that will wow, it is whimsical and fun and will make for a perfect gift for fans of the book and movie or collectors of literary cookbooks like myself.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance reader copy of this cookbook in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own

This book is perfect for anyone that is a true Princess Bride aficionado! It would make a great gift.

Brightly colored pages, artwork & quotes from the movie. The book is broken down into fun categories such as "Enchanting Breakfasts & Swashbuckling Snacks". I (& many others will ) appreciate the fact that recipes are clearly marked on the Table of Contents as GF (gluten free), V (vegetarian) & V+(vegan) to make it user friendly & adaptable.

Creative & fun. Can't wait to peruse it more & share some yummy delicacies with friends & family.

I review books & was able to preview this book in exchange for my honest review.

Perfect mixture of movie quotes, pictures and dishes inspired by different parts of the movie. I wish they made cookbooks for more movies and books. I haven’t tried any of the recipes yet but will report back when I do. This book would make the perfect gift for a fan of the movie. With dishes such as MLT, the “inconceivable” drink, bread pirate roberts and so many more puns! It’s a delight to read! I especially loved the chapter on “momentous soirées” a great way to collect the recipes together. I will be buying several copies as gifts!
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thoughts: I absolutely adore this book. Okay, I adore the movie too so this fits right in. Although there are some really good recipes in here, it’s not so much a cookbook as it is a cultural reference. There are pictures and quotes from the movie as well as the recipes. There is also a brief history of the movie. As for the recipes, you are given ingredients, clear directions, colorful pictures of some of the dishes and if they fit vegetarian, gluten-free, or other diet-specific parameters. The only thing missing from them are the nutrient values (necessary for some people). But again, this is about the movie. But I know I will definitely be adding this to my “must buy” list.

Recommendations: If you’ve ever seen the movie and enjoyed it (who hasn’t?), you cannot miss this!

I think it's a must have if you are a fan of the movie/book. Plenty of recipes inspired by the plot, a lot of pictures.
The recipes are well explained and easy to follow.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

I loved the creativity of the recipes and how it incorporated quotes and photos from the movie.

While I love the movie The Princess Bride, I did not enjoy it in cookbook form. The breakfast recipes were by far the best in terms of variety, with recipes for bread, scones, pancakes, and hash among others. The lunch section included many sandwiches, which I don't consider something that needs to be included in a cookbook. The MLT (mutton, lettuce, and tomato) is mentioned in the movie, so the author gets a pass on that one. After the three square meals of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, there are sections for snacks, desserts, and drinks.

The most interesting part of the book is the final section of "Momentous Soirées" where the previous recipes are combined into cohesive meals with several courses.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this review copy!
This was a fun cookbook, full of quotes from the movie, Most of the recipes were, well, just recipes of normal food, but named for people or events in the movie. So, it's fun, but no, kids, no actual iocane powder was used in the making of this cookbook.

I recently had the utmost pleasure of perusing the glorious masterpiece that is The Princess Bride: The Official Cookbook, digital arc received courtesy of NetGalley and BenBella Books, Smart Pop.

The Princess Bride was one of my all-time favorite movies when I was growing up, I still quote many lines to this day. Skimming through the pages of this I came to the realization that I haven't presented this amazing movie to my children. What kind of mother am I!?

Needless to say, my four kids now quote the lines as I'm catching moments of pretend sword fighting. My daughter even pretended to be Princess Buttercup as they were having the most epic light saber battle.

This wonderful cookbook is filled with many intriguing recipes such as Farm Boy Breakfast, Six-Fingered Sandwiches, and Mawidge Meatwoaf. Not only is it filled with recipes it also has so many wonderful photos and quotes from the movie.

What recipe tempted me the most was Valerie's Magical Flan
This cake. This was...in my opinion...one of the best things I've ever made. The cake...the chocolatliciousness...the glorious moist fudge like cake was marvelous. Something beautiful happens to the cake when it moves. The flan must cling onto it somehow. It's so perfectly moist. The flan section, meh. I mean I suppose the cake wouldn't have been so glorious without it, but the flan part didn't do much for me in terms of flavor. It was the cake. The cake I will dream about forever. The cake that will become my signature cake in my house.

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is an absolute delight! Amazing pictures and such a fun homage. Don't hesitate to get it!

Thank you to NetGalley for the digital ARC!

I had a huge smile the whole time I was reading this cookbook because of how much fun it was to read. There are plenty of Princess Bride quotes and beautiful movie stills throughout the whole book to bring up nostalgia, and every recipe had a title and short description that tied the recipe into the Princess Bride theme. Each new recipe category also started off with a fun introduction that tied The Princess Bride and the recipes that would be introduced together.

As for the recipes themselves, they are all very easy to read, with ingredients often grouped into the recipes' different parts (ex. all ingredients for a sauce were grouped together) and very clear steps. Not all of the recipes had pictures of what the finished food would look like, but those that did had wonderful pictures that made the food look delicious.

I am a huge fan of how this cookbook was done and fully plan on buying this soon. A great book for any Princess Bride fan!

I loved everything about this cookbook, the integration of the story, the recipes, the number of times I found myself reliving the first time, and the many times after that I watched the movie, it is perfect.

Since this is a cookbook let's start with that, the recipes are easy to follow and there are things for every level of home cook from beginner to advanced which I appreciated.

The way the story flows through the recipes was something I had not expected, and it was a brilliant surprise. I don't know why but I never would have thought of a cookbook being done this way, I'm so glad a story I love and hold dear to my heart was the first time I saw this approach.

While the story does take center stage at most points the descriptions of the recipes and how they fit with the foods were spot on.

I have to say there hasn't been another cookbook I enjoyed nearly as much as this one, more often than not I found myself just sitting and reading through it and enjoying the photos and movie memories.

Thank you to NetGalley and BenBella Books for providing an advance copy of this book, I have voluntarily read and reviewed it and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I loved this cookbook! And I really enjoyed the twist it had on the princess bride. I honestly can’t wait to dig into more of the recipes!!

This is an adorable cookbook. I actually liked it.
Already told a few people that they need to snag it
5 star book

This was such a cute book to read through! The recipes were also very good and fairly well thought out for the book. I really enjoyed looking at all of the different collection of recipes at the author came up with this is definitely a book I would recommend for fans of this movie.
