Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses novels are about to celebrate their tenth anniversary in May, which many readers believe would be the perfect time to announce the next Court of Thorns and Roses book in the series. However, information on Maas’ next novel has been kept under wraps thus far. But, news on the novel’s progress isn’t the only way fans can celebrate the fantasy book series’ major milestone. One of the best parts about fantasy books are the vivid descriptions of the unique foods the world presents — and Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses is no exception.
Throughout the current five-book fantasy series, Maas has done a brilliant job at creating a vivid and immersive world, and now fans are invited to be a part of ACOTAR‘s culinary journey with Chelsea Cole’s A Feast of Thorns and Roses: The Unofficial Cookbook of A Court of Thorns and Roses. And as the tenth anniversary of the series rapidly approaches, what better way to celebrate Maas’ Court of Thorns and Roses novels than by recreating and experiencing iconic meals had throughout and inspired by the series.
A Feast Of Thorns & Roses Is Bringing The World & Food Of ACOTAR To Life
Fans Can Experience The Flavors Of Prythian IRL
Chelsea Cole is a long-time fan of the A Court of Thorns and Roses books, and her latest cookbook, A Feast of Thorns and Roses, brings fans 65 delicious recipes inspired by the beloved characters, Prythian courts, and popular plotlines found throughout the series. For the first time, the world and food of Maas’ ACOTAR books will be brought to life, and several recipes — like the Beef Stew, Faerie Wine, and Hot Chocolate — are all directly pulled from Maas’ narrative. One of the most exciting is Feyre’s soup recipe, which imagines the meal she and Rhys shared when becoming mates.
“I felt a lot of responsibility towards fans of the series. I’m imagining it one way; I’m hoping their imagination is similar,” she says.

However, Cole also used her imagination to whip up some unique recipes that are influenced by ACOTAR‘s story and plots. The cookbook boasts recipes that represent all seven of Prythian’s Courts and even creates unique dishes for more obscure characters, like The Suriel’s Almond Tea Cakes and a recipe utilizing bone marrow in honor of the Bone Carver. The cookbook is full of stunning photography, vivid descriptions, and whimsical treats that will help any fan of the series celebrate like a High Fae.

The first ACOTAR novel was first released in 2015, and this year marks a decade since its release.
