Korok Cookies

Image
Entering into the Lost Woods is a dangerous choice. It's convenient when the Koroks simply kick you out back to your point of entry, but what happens if you really get lost?! Have some of these fruit and nut packed Korok Cookies on hand to keep those hearts filled and spirit buoyed! Yes, it's another non-canonical recipe I've made up. I think it should exist in game (but they don't, to my knowledge anyway!). It also comes with another edition of Craft Hyrule DIY fun: The Korok Pot Cookie Jar ! Truth be told, I have adapted this cookie recipe from a family favourite* which was clipped out of the local newspaper in the early 1980s (or earlier - that's a guess. Predates me, anyway!). It's not quite as the original was, but it's close enough. So due credit goes to Zazu Pitts, or probably more accurately, the memory of the late Zazu Pitts. Yes, that really was the author's name! Memorable. Ed.: a Google search tells me that it was probably...

Yiga Clan Smoothie

Start your day off right, with the power to avenge Master Kohga!!!! Ah, the very first of my "non-canonical" recipes (there are several more in the works, so stay tuned!). It is also my very first Zelda-themed craft post (again, there are several more to come!). I hope you will enjoy both aspects. First of all, you may (or may not) need a Yiga Clan Banana Bag , as shown. I whipped this up in practically no time at all. Here's what I used to make the Yiga Clan Banana Bag: Yiga Clan Banana Bag (optional) a premade cotton drawstring bag from a craft supply store a smallish paint brush acrylic paint in red and black glycerin / glycerol tap water cardboard that I cut to put in the bag (otherwise paint will soak through to other side). You could also just put in some newspaper, probably. a template (I downloaded the Yiga symbol and then printed it out using Microsoft Photo to adjust how large it would be in relation to a sheet of printer paper and, by proxy, ...

Vegetable Risotto

Image
The final installment of my forwarded / upcycled consecutive pumpkin recipes. I'm starting to get sick of pumpkin, truth be told. Sigh. Olkin might be right about his Fortified Pumpkins giving you incredible strength 'n' all, but I might need a break after this one. Will save the Pumpkin Pie recipe until Thanksgiving for sure! With the leftover roasted pumpkin from the Skyloft Pumpkin Soup , I give you my version of Vegetable Risotto Ingredients (in game): Any carrot or pumpkin Goat Butter Hylian rice  Rock Salt Ingredients (in real life): Risotto rice Olive oil (or butter, or goat butter... gotta look hard for that!) Leftover roasted pumpkin (mostly as garnish) 2 carrots , shredded or minced 2 onions , minced 2 stalks of celery , minced 1 stock cube (bouillon) of your choice - I used a vegetable one White wine - optional A kettle full of boiling water A metric tonne of grated Parmesan or Grana Padano cheese (or just a package...)  Parsley...

Meat Pie

Image
Mmmm! Meat Pies These were easy and tasted very nice! Easy, because I bought premade pastry dough. This is something I would never, ever do in the past, but ever since we moved to Europe, none (NONE) of my North American recipes for dough or pastry work. There is definitely less gluten in the flour here... which means terrible, mealy bagels but much, much fluffier breads and croissants. Can't win 'em all. The veggies here will add moisture (and the potato will add starch) and will give a very nice moist meaty pie, similar to a cornish pasty. Note: I ended up with an appreciable amount of 'filling' leftover - I simply froze this to use in spaghetti sauce in the future. ;) Leftover filling will be great for spaghetti once mixed with tomato sauce in the frying pan! Ingredients (in game): Any meat Goat Butter Rock Salt  Tabantha Wheat Ingredients (in reality): A large package of uncooked hamburger 1-2 packages of ready-made pie pastry (...
