Is that a Tauren in the kitchen?

Have you ever found yourself playing World of Warcraft when you found yourself overcome with a desire for Redridge Goulash or Beer Basted Boar Ribs? No? Well, neither have I, but I have to say that Tauren Chef's Unofficial World of Warcraft recipes have me intrigued anyway. Using their powers of deductive logic, the folks behind Tauren Chef have apparently put together a cookbook full of WoW-inspired recipes so easy to make that even John Q. Gamer, whose idea of a fancy meal is a couple of hot pockets, would have no trouble whipping them together in the kitchen. I'd be curious to test this claim out in practice, but sadly, there is a $19.97 barrier to entry.While this is hardly the first time we've seen people conjure up recipes inspired by Blizzard (our buddies at WOW Insider did a post on the topic and have their own recurring feature for it), it is the first time we've seen it all packaged up so neat and spiffy-looking. By my estimation, none of the dishes rise to the level of game geekery achieved by the hearthstone soap, though the Strawberry-Murloc Pie comes pretty close. If any of you are brave enough to actually try any of these recipes out, please let us know. We'd eat it right up!

Hi,
As the husband of the author of the above mentioned cookbook I'd like to say Thanks for the nice review.
Hopefully you won't find 20 bux to be toooo much a barrier and that you'll have as much fun eating these recipes as we did creating them.
By the way, we also have a WoW cooking blog that we're just starting up. Stop by and pick up some Ironforge Bread Pudding.
