It's no joke -- HBO's Game of Thrones is back on April 1. I'm a new fan to the series, but I've enjoyed reading the first two novels and watching the first season of the show. Season 2 begins the story of the second novel, A Clash of Kings, and brings new characters like the formidable Stannis Baratheon and the sorceress Melisandre, who I'm looking forward to seeing the most.
Not only is Game of Thrones a delicious feast for your eyes, there's still time left to plan a themed dinner party for the premiere. The phenomenal food blog Inn at the Crossroads has a page dedicated to recipes for making your premiere party a hit. Thanks to their fantastic party guide, you can find a menu selection based on your skill level, or pick and choose from the many recipes on the site.
We are hosting a Game of Thrones dinner party for the premiere. This guide has been invaluable for the planning. My mouth watered while I reading the Honeyed Chicken recipe; although my cooking skills are no where near expert, I'm willing to give some of the "Simple and Hearty" recipes a try.
You can also find Game of Thrones themed food on the smaller blog Cooking Ice and Fire, as well a recipe for Lemon Cakes from the official Game of Thrones production diary.
HBO's Game of Thrones returns at 9:00 PM EDT on April 1. Will you be tuning in?
