I deliberated over adding this one for some time, but the Independent Isles have a lot of crabs.

I may not be one for seafood that comes out of a shell, but I put a lot of foods I wouldn't personally enjoy in my books, so what's one more?
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods #queerbooks
If it wasn't for my lactose intolerance, I swear...
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods #queerbooks
I have a mighty need to attempt this, but I suck at desserts. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to give it a try.

It's a new month and the final for foods from my universe's people. This one was a little trickier, being that the Independent Isles are literally a cluster of islands, but I've only a few Wednesdays to work with.

Tried not to do another stew-like dish, but a lot of simple cuisine boils down to... well... stew.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods #booksky #fyp
Food cooked via magic would for sure have its own flavour profile, maybe even several.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods #booksky
The texture alone would make this a definite 'no' for me, but I'm also not a fan of bitter foods.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods #booksky
It's a new month, time for more foods from my universe's people. Actually going back to the desert empire of Stamekia to focus on the non-nomadic folk.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods #booksky
And you can bet everywhere you'd go in Cezhory, the locals would insist their version of Pork and Dumplings is the original.

Just some casual lore-dropping about pigs and an ancient empire.

Cezhorians take their cures seriously, and with a liberal use of garlic.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods
New month, new foods from my universe's people. This time, it's from a land I've spoken little of in any of my stories... Cezhory!
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods #booksky
Given that the land of Obuzan started as a section of Udynea, I couldn't resist making a dish that both countries would have.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods #booksky
Spent so many hours down the rabbit hole of worldbuilding, all to decide what kind of bird the Obuzan jungle fowl actually is.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods
As tempted as I was to make Obuzan's entries only be jungle-based, they do have a long coastline. That is where the elves landed, after all.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods #booksky
New month, new foods from my universe's people. This time, it's the theocratic, magic-despising Country of Obuzan...
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods #booksky
This is a slight variation on the dishes my grandfather used to make when I was a pre-teen. The change being the removal of bacon and offal.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods
Definitely one of the similar meals I've done, but the first that came to mind when I consider what the dwarven cuisine in the Spellster Universe might contain.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods
Yes, apart from the travelling hedgewitches, the dietary preference for the majority of my arboreal, once-plant-speaking folk can be labelled as some level of vegetarian.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods
New month means another array of food from my universe's people. This time, it's from my dwarves, and I'm starting with their household staple...
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods
The fuzzy part in this name comes from my child when they were small and first tried a carbonated drink, declaring they didn't like it because it was fuzzy.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods
I've a very specific idea of what the elven nomadic caravans look like. Having them lushly green with herbs and seasonal veg is part of the picture.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods
Was tempted to make this entry venison, and they do eat them, too, but they'd consume way more pigs.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods
The elves in my story are built to need a lot of protein. In most cases, this means they consume more meat than the average human. However, even among elven societies, they wouldn't be on a strictly carnivorous diet.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods
Yup, new month, new people's food.
This time, it's the elven nomad's turn, and I'm starting it with a simple stew.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods
As tempted as I was to have it be that way, the Talfaltan people can't only be eating fish.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods
I enjoyed designing the courtship ritual for the Talfaltan people.
#spellsteruniverse #fantasyhistory #worldbuilding #fantasyfoods
I'm not a huge fan of raw fish, but for a people who spend most of the time on the water... well, it made sense.
