All Lore from the Dragon Age: Official Cookbook: Taste of Thedas
This is going to be a long post with all the lore from the cookbook collected in one post. This is only going to be counting the lore in the "blurbs" so to speak as the actual recipes themselves, which are not meant to be set in-world.
Additionally, it should be noted that I am unable to say one way or the other if the props used in the photos or the etching art shown on some recipes are to be taken as reflecting the canon the cookbook narrator is in. For the sake of completeness, I have included the less conclusive elements.
Shoving everything below the cut for length as well as to help people avoid spoilers. Think I got everything... There is a lot in this book honestly.

Cookbook Lore
World State
Cassandra is Divine.
The Hero of Ferelden is a Cousland Warden.
The Warden gave Leliana Schmooples.
Hawke is a non-mage, as Varric knows Bethany.
Hawke is diplomatic in personality.
Bull's Chargers, Krem, and Bull are all alive.
Cullen stayed off lyrium.
Celene is empress; Briala and Gaspard are still alive.
Alistair is king.
Varric is viscount.
Uncertain aspects of the world state:
The suggested lore based on the art, props used in photos, and vague wording in blurbs. These are not for certain this is the canon.
Briala is described as a spymaster and lover, implying she was possibly reunited with Celene.
Celene, Briala, and Gaspard are possibly working together in the truce. But the wording is vague it could simply be Celene ruling alone while Briala and Gaspard live.
Cole was encouraged to be more human and is traveling with Maryden Halewell.
Cullen got his mabari.
Josephine was romanced by the Inquisitor.
Morrigan has Keiran.
The Hero of Ferelden romanced King Alistair.
Food Lore
Lentils and onions are common ingredients to find in pantries across Thedas.
Ferelden has reliable access to tomatoes that allows them to use them regularly in their food.
Fereldans are known for their love of soups, stews, pickled eggs, and turnips that it is regularly joked about and seen as a stereotype. Devon regularly comments on the known expectations.
Turnip and Mutton Pie is a classic Fereldan dish served in taverns across the nation.
Nevarra food culture holds that food is suppose to be a feast for the eyes and mouth. Leading to their plating to be dazzling and seen as works of art.
The Jade Ham, is a smoked Anderfels ham with a particular glaze made from wildflowers and turns the ham as hard as jade.
The Anderfels are hostile and often considered inhospitible in certain areas. But despite the harsh environment, pigs farm well there and as a result are much larger than elsewhere in Thedas.
There are custard connoisseurs across Thedas.
Lichen ale is toxic, though most dwarves are able to handle it. However, non-dwarves can only tolerate a few sips of the drink.
Isabela has a drinking game based on how many enemies you have, it has killed at least one person.
The Rivaini tea blend is said to have healing properties such as helping alleviate headaches.
Dwarves underground raise giant spiders like people on the surface raise cattle and goats.
Orzammar has a contest where one is crowned as Orzammar's Best Sauce, the competition is so fierce people get underhanded in their attempts to acquire recipes. This has led to eateries, and in general people of Orzammar, to guard their recipes from others.
Orzammar also farms various mushrooms for eating.
Rice is commonly found in Antiva and Rivain, however it is not a large export for Antiva so it is a rare grain for folks in Ferelden. Due to it not being exported, rice is a cheap food item in Antiva and is very common in the more mundane foods of commoners.
Wyvern, like phoenix, can become deadly poisonous if eaten when they aren't prepared properly.
A jam maker lives in Orzammar, importing individual ingredients so they can make the jam themselves and hopefully sell it cheaper than imported jam.

Additional Lore
The golden nug statues do exist in Thedas, Devon mentions seeing one in Haven and hearing rumors of there being more.
Fereldans who worked for the Inquisition would leave Commander Cullen pickled eggs on his desk while he was going through the worst of his lyrium withdrawal symptoms.
Spring time is gurgut mating season, and travelers are advised to keep their distance.
Starkhaven is oval in shape, shaped by rings of tall, grey stone walls, is filled with lavish estates, fountains, and sits on the Minanter River.
Makes reference to the ambient events of where Cole dumped a bushel of turnips onto a fire.

Charts and Stats
Because I love a good visual rep of data, I collected some stats of the types of food, how many recipes are from where, and the amount of time a character was mentioned.

I did percentages for the course of food as well as the portion of options that are vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, meat based, and alcoholic.

End of 2022 Book Stats
Because I like crunching numbers and I think some of you might be interested? Maybe I’m just flattering myself…
Yearly total: 147 + 2
 rereads DNFs: 4 Queer books: 52 (35%) Authors of colour: 31 (21%) Books by women: 88 (60%) Books by nonbinary/genderqueer folk: 9 (6%) Canadian authors: 15 (10%) Off the TBR shelves: 30 (20%)
Compared to my 2021 stats, my percentages of queer books (subject matter and/or author), nonbinary authors, and authors of colour are holding roughly steady. My female and Canadian authors percentages are down. I also always try to set a goal for reading more classics and poetry. This year I read 9 (6%) and last year I was at 6 (3.7%). Success!
At the start of the year, I posted 22 reading goals for the year. I read all but one book off the list (Night Watch by Sarah Waters)! I also wanted to read at least one book off my TBR shelves per month (done) and increase my percentage of authors of colour from 22% (not done, basically holding steady). I was also hoping to have read more Canadian authors than I did, but at the same time, so much Canadian fiction just does not grab my interest.
Top Fiction (Not ranked)
Persuasion - Jane Austen
Babel - R.F. Kuang
The Mummy! - Jane Webb
A Strange and Stubborn Endurance - Foz Meadows
Semiosis - Sue Burke
Top Non-Fiction (Not ranked)
Hasidic Tales of the Holocaust - Yaffa Eliach
Highway of Tears - Jessica McDiarmid
1491 - Charles Mann
The Emperor of Scent - Chandler Burr
Let’s Do It! - Bob Stanley
Longest book

: The Fabliaux, translated by Nathaniel Durbin
Best queer book: A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows
Most Impressed By:
The Emperor of Scent - Chandler Burr
Katzenjammer - Francesca Zappia
The Escapement - Lavie Tidhar
The Wolf Den - Elodie Harper
Hasidic Tales of the Holocaust - Yaffa Eliach
Hot Moon - Alan Smale
Biggest Disappointments:

High Times in the Low Parliament - Kelly Robson
Pride, Prejudice and Peril - Katie Oliver
Attrib. and other Stories - Eley Williams
The Monsters We Defy - Leslye Penelope
Epically Earnest - Molly Horan
Did I beat 2021? No.
Did I beat my Best Year Ever? No. That would be 2021.
Did I read more classics? Yes!
Did I read more Canadians? No.
Did I whittle my TBR shelves down any? No. I hauled 102 books, most of which were gifts, free copies from publishers, or hand-me-downs, and I read 30. This gives me a net gain of 72 books. There are also 29 ARCs on my floor. This is, as I’m fond of saying, fine and not at all worrying.
Was it a good reading year? It was fine? I read a lot of good books that weren’t particularly memorable, and a lot of okay books that barely were. And I kind of burned out halfway through the year and had to slow my pace to keep my interest in reading going.

Love how I am ignoring my tbr for this year in favour of LGBT+ books. So much so that is the second thing I read the most according to Storygraph, beig surpassed only by the fantasy genre. Back to my main moods too: adventurous, dark, mysterious and emotional.

Ok back on track for my monthly wrap ups! Here's my stats for August:
I read 6 books for a total of 1,114 pages, and an average of 36 pages per day.
20th Century Ghosts was a huge let-down for me. I read it because I'm slightly obsessed with the Black Phone movie, but I sort of wish I'd left this collection alone. I'm not sure if my issue is with Joe Hill's older work or the horror genre. Alas.
Thankfully, I was wholly charmed by Becky Chamber's latest installment in the Monk and Robot series. I'm also still obsessed with Dark Crystal lore though I might be done with my journey in terms of buying more books or comics. We'll see...
Here are the ratings:
Stars: 5 - A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers (oops I forgot to add this to the picture and I'm not retaking it); Spy x Family v2 by Tatsuya Endo
4 - All the Hometowns You Can't Stay Away From by Izzy Wasserstein; The Dark Crystal by ACH Smith
3 - The Ghost and the Mermaid by Manelle Oliphant
2 - 20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill

hi hi friends! i hope you’re doing well! today, i am giving you my quarter one wrap up for 2024 – filled with all the books i’ve read, a few favorites of those, and all the statistics of my reading these last three months! in january, february, and march i read 20 things! which i am happy about, but i do wish it was a little higher, since i do always like to hit 100 books read by the end of the year, but i was traveling a lot these last few months, and i have nothing really planned until july, so hopefully i am able to compensate a little with 30 books in my q2 post! but now i am getting way ahead of myself, and i don’t want to make this year feel like it is going even quicker than it already feels all on its own, so let’s do a little deep dive on these 20 books that i was able to read! ✨ Q1 STATISTICS  (thank you to brock at let’s read, for creating this spreadsheet that i have used for so many years!) i figured that i would show my favorite graph all on its own this time! plus, i think this really encompasses that i have been having a good reading quarter. maybe not the best, maybe i wish for more fives to come, but i really can’t complain too much when more than half of the things i’ve been reading have been four stars! and only one two star which is always a good feeling to see, too! 💕 i normally stick to just showing pie charts for my reading data, but i have been really loving visually seeing my data in this format too. i am very happy with reading over 8k pages over these three months! i also really like seeing that i reread three things, because incorporating rereading books has been something i’ve struggled with in my reading life for a while now. and i also just think it’s cool to see how many pages i’ve read via audio books, as well! (shout out to spotify, i do love you and those free 15 hours every month!) as always, fantasy is my most read genre, but i really have been craving and gravitating to a lot of romance this year so far (and a lot of fantasy romance – which i categorize by what the book feels most like to me between the two)! i’ve also been reading books from my personal library so much this year, which makes me feel good, because i love buying books knowing that i am excited to pick them up soon! i am a little surprised that penguin is my most read publishing house, and not macmillan, but we do love when the graphs are changing up sometimes! but that 5% hachette, probably just because of holly black, is very wild to see. i love seeing these charts and graphs, and they bring me so much happiness all by themselves, but i also love being able to kind of reassess my reading and how i’m doing each quarter because of them! besides really wanting to read 30 books in the second quarter, i would also like to start maybe prioritizing arcs a little more. i have been so good about doing at least mini reviews for everything i’ve read (yes, all twenty things have been reviewed), but i kind of miss reviewing things before they are officially published, too! 🤍 THREE FAVORITE READS OF Q1  (click title links for full reviews with detailed thoughts, feelings, and tw/cws!) ✨ The Vanished Birds by Simon Jimenez heartfelt galaxy brain that truly touched my very soul ✨ The Secret Lives of Church Ladies by Deesha Philyaw maybe my favorite anthology of all time ✨ The Wilful Princess and the Piebald Prince by Robin Hobb the greatest tragedy i’ve read in many years Q1 BOOK HAUL  these are all the books that i’ve received since january 1st! well, i did buy other editions of the warm hands of ghosts and the prisoner’s throne, too! but the stack was getting a little too high, so i just added my favorite versions! a couple of these were gifts that i am very thankful for! and a few are arcs sent to me by publishers which i am also so very thankful for! (i have only read four of these though – so let me rectify that asap 😉 too!) okay friends, i think that’s everything! truly, i am so thankful for these last three months and i hope the rest of the ye...

✨2023 Wrapped✨
I'm a sucker for statistics, so here's a little graphical analysis of my reading statistics from 2023.
Here's a few details I find interesting compared to my stats of 2022:
I read less than I did in 2022, but I did read more larger books and less comics. I also read less anthologies. So my overall average book length is higher and I did read more pages in total.
My average rating is the same as it was in 2022. I had more 5 star books than in 2022, but also more extremely low rated books.
The highest rated book I read this year is from my friend, and I'm really glad her book managed to surpass even "Fourth Wing" which has a whooping 4,62.
I read a little less non-fiction this year.
I read a little less anthologies this year.
It seems the largest category I read in was romance. And I'm really surprised it is. I do like romance, but it isn't my go to genre. I like when it acts as a very strong subplot, but otherwise I don't reach out to such books. I'm also pleasantly surprised that horror took up a nice percentage as well. Looking back, I feel as if I haven't read that much horror this year, but I guess I was wrong.
Croatian authors took up first place with a really impressive 37%. I did read quite a lot of local authors this year, and I hope I'll keep that same percentage in the year to come. The truth is, Croatian literature is often overlooked in local book communities and seen as lesser, especially compared to international booksellers, but there's quite a few prominent authors and I read some really unique work from them this year!
I chose just a few books to represent my favorites of this year, with "Gideon the Ninth" by Tamsyn Muir taking the spotlight. "A Day of Fallen Night" by Samantha Shannon, "If We Were Villains" by M. L. Rio, "The Betrayals" by Bridget Collins, and "Od Kolijevke do Groba" by Antonija Mežnarić are all a very, very close second, and I recommend each and every one of them if you're looking for a good read.
Overall, I'm happy what 2023 brought me reading wise. I had a lot of fun discovering new works and authors, and had just a few true disappointments. A thing I finally want to learn in 2024 is to stay away from popular books because they're clearly not for me.
That's it! I hope 2023 was a good reading year for you too! Feel free to comment some of your statistics and your feats (however big or small they are) and happy New Years! I wish you all good luck, lots of love and happiness!

It's book stats time! ✨
Out of 79 books I read this year...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
✨about 50/50 split on if the books were owned or from the library ✨50% were read on audio ✨I finished 87% and DNF'd the rest.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I read from mostly women and about 14% of authors I read were trans/non-binary. Unfortunately, my reading was overwhelmingly white, so that's definitely an area I'd like to improve on.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Almost 1/3 of what I read was horror, followed next by romance, fantasy, and non-fiction! Most of what I read was Adult.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Apparently, I forget how to read in the summer. Finally, most of the books I read were published in the last two years. Weirdly, I read a good amount of books published in 2016. Anything past 2010 was Stephen King.
