Question for the Americans on my flist
Jun. 6th, 2011 07:32 pmMy friend the Nazgul has a cookbook, published via Books On Demand. It is a cookbook vaguely related to a certain popular teenage wizard, without ever properly saying so. She's collected suggestions from around the net, tried them out and put them together, with some additional input from the things we usually cook on a Sunday. There are some sauces that require wine, and some drinks recipes that definitely contain alcohol. Now she is planning to put out an English version through Lulu, mostly aimed at an American audience. She is wondering whether Americans might take exception at recipes with alcohol in a book which might be seen partially aimed at teenagers, in places where the drinking age may be as high as 21.

Bonus recipe from the collection:
The Dark Lord's Darkest Desire:
Take a litre of clear, tasteless moonshine (alternatively: vodka) and a package of hot hard Danish liquorice candy, put into a bottle and keep behind the siphon of your kitchen sink for two weeks. (The place is important!!) Then shake, and put in the freezer for a bit to cool down to freezing point. Drink carefully from very small glasses.
