Interview: The Geeky Chef

Admit it. Sometimes when you're rereading Harry Potter for the thousandth time, you find yourself really craving a pumpkin pasty. And I know you've wondered if Peeta's cheesy buns from The Hunger Games are as good as they sound - at least, I have.

So I was ecstatic when my internet scouring brought me to The Geeky Chef, where bona-fide geek and fellow food fan Cassandra Reeder creates, collects, and curates recipes from all my favorite fandoms. Legend of Zelda? Check. Lord of the Rings? Check. Game of Thrones? Check. And a ton more.

Imagine how doubly pumped I was when I then discovered that The Geeky Chef has a cookbook with over 30 new recipes never before featured on her site coming out in a few weeks...just days after my birthday, in fact. Yup, I'm going to need that.

I reached out to Cassandra, hoping she would be available for an interview...and she was! Read all about how Cassandra perfects her geeky recipes (and avoids flavor disasters) below the cut!
