More than captivating our imagination with their detailed worlds and their intriguing characters, authors often make our mouths water when describing what’s on the dining room table. Thankfully, when recipe creators and chefs are inspired by what they read, we reap the benefits in cookbooks that are sure to bring out the nerd in all of us. These cookbooks represent the best of the best when it comes to bringing fictional foods to life.
