Food
Help!! I've looked every where on the net and all over this site and i can't find any recipes!! My textiles elven cafe project has to be handed in soon but i need to show the type of food and have recipes!!
Can ANYONE help??? |
I don't think there are any recipes in existence, which means you'd probably have to make your own. But I can think of one type of elvish food, which is lembas- I think they're wheat cakes, or some such thing?
(Also, I think the Elves added some of their own magic to the food they cooked, so it would be rather difficult to recreate anything [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) |
I found these here on the 'Downs:
Recipes of Middle Earth An Arda Recipe Book [ December 12, 2002: Message edited by: Galadrie1 ] |
That was really helpful! all the teachers thought i'd dug myself a hole that time!!
I think my Lembas went a bit wrong but it tasted great! I'm going to take some to TTT when i go dressed up that should be fun, like a tea party with the characters on screen. okay i'm very strange! |
LoL!! I hope you have fun with your tea party!
|
I'm sure i will my lembas are the best even if they look like cinnamon cookies. I followed the recipe and they taste great and have enough sugar so i think i could eat one and walk all day!
|
What exactly is waybread? That was how lembas was described.
|
I just waybread was another name like in coomon speech or something! TTT tomorrow Yes!!! My parents got annoyed that i was taking up the kitchen and then decided to try and ice the lembas, you don't ice lembas!!

arelendil, are you looking for strictly "Elven" recipes?I have a cookbook called "the Gorumet Hobbit" & can send you some recipes from it if you wish.

Or rather something you eat along your WAY? I always thought it was like tak, like dried bread.

That would seem to be the only explanation, Susan, as it is the response I get every time I bring up my gripe... sort of "Elven fast-food".

That would be most kind Raefindel, Thank you! My cafe is to be called Eryn Lasgalen but I think it has a bit more of a Rivendell theme as it isn't strictly elves like it would be in Eryn Lasgalen - realm of green leaves or mirkwood if you like (thought that is rather a gloomy name!)
Elven fast food! Umm... a bet the Tolkien Society didn't mean i couldn't have that. In fact they probably never thought of it that way! |
Rae, I always just thought that the "way" in waybread referred to the way or road that the person eating it was presumably on. I always thought of the non-Elvish (Lake-town) waybread as being like hardtack; filling, easily transported, and doesn't go bad but not very exciting either. Sort of the Ramen of Middle-Earth. (For some reason I always think of fast food as food that's made quickly, where hardtack-style stuff tends to take a long time to bake). Wheybread - hmmm, that could be kind of scary after a few days, especially if it wasn't kept cold...

arelendil, which recipe did you use for lembas? I'm trying to make them for Christmas . . . [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Merri,I posted a lembas recipe on the "Arda recipe book" thread, but it is really just a coffee cake.
Raefindel's Lembas Cake batter 1 cup butter or margerine , softened 2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla 4 eggs 3 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups sour cream the cinnamon sugar stuff 3/4 cups sugar 2 Tablespoons cinnamon 1/2 cup chopped Pecans In large bowl, cream butter and 2 cups sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla & eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, baking powder, soda and salt: add alternately with sour cream, beating just enough after each addition to keep batter smooth. Spoon 1/3 of batter into a greased, 10inch tube pan. Combine cinnamon, nuts & 3/4 cup sugar; sprinkle over batter in pan. Repeat layers two more times. Bake @ 325 for 45-70 min or until cake tests done. COOL FOR 10 MIN BEFORE REMOVING FROM PAN. Remove to wire rack to cool. Slice into wafers and wrap with mallorn leaves. -------------------- I have also used a cookie recipe and used it as Lembas. This one was posted on "Party planning" in the "Middle-Earth Mayhem" section. Lembas Cookies (from Raefindel) Mix together and set aside: 2 cups sifted flour 1 tsp soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking powder Mix together in a seperate bowl: 1 cup shortening 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup brown sugar Then add: 2 eggs, beaten 1 tsp vanilla Add dry ingredients. then add: 2 cups cornflakes 2 cups coconut Form into 1" balls, and bake at 350-375 for 8-10 minutes. They should be slightly chewey. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Maybe one of these will work for you. [ December 23, 2002: Message edited by: Raefindel ] |
Thanks! I made some "lembas" (They were really biscuits) today from a recipe off of theonering.net . . . they were yummy.
Really, I'm just looking for something to bake that I can tell my three and six year old cousins are stuff the elves and dwarves eat [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
Well, those cookies would do it then!
