True Blood’ , HBO’s blockbuster paranormal drama, enthralls a diverse audience of 13 million viewers (and counting). Menus at the now-famous Fangtasia and Merlotte’s Bar and Grill play a key role in the series, providing sustenance for its human characters, evoking memories of a bygone life for its vampires, and serving as a powerful symbol for the desires and carnal needs the characters harbor. It’s no wonder so many fans revel in at-home parties inspired by the food on the series! With recipes from unforgettable scenes, each entertainingly introduced by’True Blood’ ‘s most compelling characters, these 85 authentic bayou country recipes and 150-plus photos from the series give fans a big taste of Bon Temps.

Outstandingly unique drink recipes.

They all seem to be something I can imagine Lafayette mixin’ up.  I love the names, Terry’s Jailhouse Chili for example! There is brilliant wit paired with mostly easy recipes. It is true to the show, and to the books. Many of the recipes are ones that have been mentioned before in both mediums.

It really transports you to Bon Temps.

This a fun cookbook to use when you’re cooking for larger crowds and want to make something to really be proud of.

What a neat book! It’s fun and full of color, and makes you want to get in the kitchen and do some cooking!
