This is what our supporter says about the author … :)
I love this author, not only for her stories but also for her approachability.She personally answers questions on Facebook, through e-mails etc.For her e-books, she will even e-mail versions for a different platform. I’ve purchased a couple of her e-books from Amazon (which is Kindle) and she has e-mailed me Adobe files so I can read it on my Kobo.She’s also Canadian, which is a bonus. :)
Book Description (from Amazon.ca)
Publication Date: Jan. 15 2013
A Fantasy Lover’s Food Guide Equal parts writer’s guide, comedy, and historical cookbook, fantasy author Krista D. Ball takes readers on a journey into the depths of epic fantasy’s obsession with rabbit stew and teaches them how to catch the blasted creatures, how to move armies across enemy territories without anyone starving to death, and what a medieval pantry should look like when your heroine is seducing the hero. Learn how long to cook a salted cow tongue, how best to serve salt fish, what a “brewis” is (hint: it isn’t beer), how an airship captain would make breakfast, how to preserve just about anything, and why those dairy maids all have ample hips. What Kings Ate will give writers of historical and fantastical genres the tools to create new conflicts in their stories, as well as add authenticity to their worlds, all the while giving food history lovers a taste of the past with original recipes and historical notes.
