Want to cook food from The Hunger Games?

So I found these two videos and decided to share:

Guides and recipes to make two of the famous dishes from The Hunger Games. These two have made their own recipes, based on information available and their own cool cooking skills.

First up we have Lamb Stew with Plums. That famous dish of the Capitol which became a favourite of Katniss.

If you didn't catch those ingredients:

Lamb Stew with Plums, serves 6-8
3 lbs lamb (shoulder or neck)
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 cinnamon sticks
3 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups dried plums
1/4 cup honey (optional)
1 cup carrots, cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
2 potatoes, cubed
Lemon juice (optional)
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped

and secondly, you could make this on the same day as the stew to really have a Hunger Games meal, Peeta's burnt nut and raisin bread. The type of bread he intentionally burnt and tossed to Katniss, saving her life when she was starving.

Well they aren't really seen in the films, but they are talked over in the books.

Thanks for posting the recipes to these. I might make them on Tuesday night.

[Feel_Good_inc.]

Cool. I'll have to track down that book.
I've marinated the lamb today I'll be making the stew and the bread tomorrow. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Good luck with your cooking adventures Adam :)

Well I made the stew and the bread and my word they are delicious. the spices of the stew and the soft tenderness of the lamb was just amazing.
The bread, fresh out of the oven, is amazing. soft and warm and sweet from the sugar and cinnamon, the nuts and raisins added a great depth to the flavour.

They're great and I highly recommend making either of them.

for the bread I used just milk instead of powdered milk and water but it still turned out brilliant.

Glad it turned out well :)
