The Princess Bride: The Official Cookbook.

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.
