Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Black Spire Outpost Cookbook

Yes, today is a two-fer review day.

With our culinary program being so awesome, and my own love of cooking, I'm always looking for cookbooks I think will make a good addition to our collection (see my review of Crook to Cook!).  I'm also a huge Star Wars fan (if you've followed this blog for any length of time, you know that already).  So, of course I bought this!  

When we went to Disney World, Galaxy's Edge was still under construction.  I had huge hopes to see Disney Land's version this summer.  Covid of course had other plans.  

I kinda thought this would be like the Harry Potter cookbook, with items from the book made with every day ingredients or like the "copy-cat" recipes you see all over Facebook of Disney's signature dining places (try the gray stuff at Be Our Guest in Orlando!).  However, this is written in an in-universe style, as if by the extended cannon Strono "Cookie" Tuggs, a chef.  The recipes are pretty simplistic and renamed to match a Star Wars theme.  I'm not sure if any of it is actually on a menu in Disney somewhere, though.  I'll report back if I ever there...

Definitely a novelty, maybe for one of those theme weeks Mr. Kent does, but not exactly the standard in cookbooks for the home chef.
