The Hobbit: Elrond’s Feast

I really had a great time making Orphan Black’s Victory Dinner menu last time and I couldn’t wait to create another feast around The Hobbit.  So for my next themed menu series, I have Elrond’s Feast from The Hobbit.  The inspiration for the food was mostly based off of Weta’s The Desolation of Smaug Chronicles: Cloaks and Daggers book.  I obsessed over every photo and detail in the few pages they had dedicated to food props and dressing.  Food stylist, Deborah Logan, went into detail about exactly what kind of food the elves would have because the elves essentially didn’t need much to sustain themselves.  To the horror of the dwarves, the elves had were vegetarians and their meals consist of what grows from the ground.

So please enjoy the next few recipes I’ll be posting for this series and I would love to hear if anyone has suggestions of what meal they want to see next.  Enjoy!
