really fun and interesting!
A very enjoyable cookbook, with some great recipes and interesting tidbits of Star Trek universe alien culture. Admittedly, some ingredients will be harder to find (I have no idea where to find a mixed seaweed salad locally to make Pok Tar), but for the most part, the ingredients are pretty common and easy to obtain. I'm especially excited about making the Andorian Cabbage Soup, a smooth, cream-based red cabbage and potato soup that one turns from purple to blue with a pinch of baking soda! Yay science and chemical reactions! As for the standard cookbook stuff (aside from ingredient availability), each recipe includes a photo of the finished dish, and includes serving and plating suggestions. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, though I admit to having some questions that honestly are way more likely to be a failing on my part rather than the author's. I do wish nutrition information was included; I really think this is something that should be standard to all cookbooks, so many people have dietary concerns it just makes sense to include it. Overall, a thoughtfully put-together collection of recipes (that seriously all sound delicious) and Star Trek lore that will be a welcome addition to any Trekkie/Trekker's cookbook shelf, and wouldn't be out-of-place in a non-geek kitchen. #NetGalley
