Cooking from Chelsea Monroe-Cassel's World of Warcraft

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Tonight I made boiled clams (pp 26,27).  Not to be confused with bad clams nor any of the interminable World of Warcraft clam recipes from more different kinds of clams than I can count.

 

 

As any devotee of Azerothan boiled clams can attest, the recipe is simply clam meat and refreshing spring water, available from almost any innkeeper.

 

Chelsea Monroe-Cassel gussies it up with butter, garlic, parsley, and white wine.  The linguini was my own idea.  Served with Ciabatta.

 

In this case, the clams were from The Lobster Place, via amazon fresh.  I purchased a dozen littleneck.  One was cracked and one was dead, but that still left thirteen.  All thirteen opened and all thirteen were delicious.  The Lobster Place says these littlenecks don't need cleaning, and indeed there was no trace of grit to mar my fantasy.

A few nights ago...

 

 

 

Crab cakes (pp 32,33).  Real World of Warcraft crab cakes are just crawler meat, no fillers.  These have bread crumbs, butter, cream, parsley, egg, scallion, garlic, flour, oh and some crabmeat too.  I substituted Old Bay for the red pepper called for* but I couldn't taste the Old Bay anyway.  Too much filler and a bit too high a heat on my part as well.

 

 

 

 

Served with side of coleslaw courtesy of Watanabeblade.

 

 

*Not to be confused with Dusky Crab Cakes which are prepared from hot spices and spider legs.

All looks kind of ordinary (common) dish. Is there anything unique recipe in the book?

I'd argue Spiced Blossom Soup, Ironforge Rations (and yes, the recipe does call for haggis), Delicious Chocolate Cake.
