Review: The Geeky Chef Drinks by Cassandra Reeder
❀ Perfect for a Party
If you are a fan of any cult series, you will most likely find a drink for it inside The Geeky Chef Drinks. Potterheads, Whovians, and Trekkies are very well represented in this book of simple to follow recipes. If you are hosting a theme party or a bookish event, this is one book to explore. The ingredients are fairly easy to source and depending on your budget, there are multiple alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to create. Special effects, such as mist and fire, are also uncovered, so if you are interested in kicking things up a notch, you will find it here!
❀ Ideas for Stocking a Bar
Collecting the tools and ingredients to make most of these recipes isn’t very difficult, however there is an initial cost to purchasing some of them. Personally, I don’t have much in the way of a well-stocked bar, but this book has inspired me to start working on it. I did create the Chateau Romani from The Legend of Zelda. It is a really yummy drink that combines ingredients, including ice cream and Irish cream. I absolutely loved this drink inspired by the vintage milk that Link drinks in Majora’s Mask.
❀ Perfect for fandom fans
The Geeky Chef Drinks by Cassandra Reeder is a staple that should be in your collection if you are a huge fan of any book, TV, or game series. It really is a jam-packed recipe book that has just about every fandom imaginable. I look forward to mixing up some more of these interesting beverages.
About Cassandra Reeder
The first fictional food recipe Cassandra Reeder made was Tree Star Cookies inspired by The Land Before Time at age six. Her geeky nature combined with her love of cooking led to the creation of geekychef.com. The goal of Geeky Chef is to help the geek community bring their food fantasies to reality. So if you've ever found yourself drooling over Pumpkin Pasties in Harry Potter, curious about Lembas Bread from Lord of the Rings or wondering if the cake is really a lie, this blog is for you. Each dish is thoroughly researched to make the final product taste and/or look as close to the source material as possible. Of course, everyone will imagine differently, but Cassandra hopes to give dedicated geeks a run for their tastebuds.
Cassandra currently lives in Portland with her husband, baby boy and pet parrot. Despite what conclusions you may have come to, she is not actually a pirate. Well, she is mostly not actually a pirate.

This looks so fun! I’d love to see what they have for Whovians and then serve it at a Doctor Who watch party or something. :p Great review!

I think that you would find so many fun ideas for that! 🙂
I want to test out some of these Harry Potter drinks! I have always wanted to try Butterbeer! This geek definitely needs this book, for the alcohol AND the other stuff! 🙂
Ha! Yes! The butterbeer recipe in this book is a bit different from the ones that I typically come across. I am looking forward to trying it out as well. 🙂
Nice review! 😊

This sounds like a fun book for any reader!

What a fun concept! After a while drinking the same things gets kinda boring. Can’t wait to try something new!
