The heat is on and the temperature is perfect to add a new recipe to your summer gatherings! With pop culture cookbooks, you can truly immerse yourself in the world of your favorite franchise. Make a tavern meal you could split with Geralt from The Witcher; indulge in Sansa Stark’s favorite lemon cake; channel The Walking Dead and create delicious survival dishes that are also zombie apocalypse prepper-approved.

Make a little part of your favorite TV shows, books, movies, and video games come alive in your kitchen, and don’t forget to finish off your geek-themed dinner party with a Star Trek-inspired cocktail. Fizzy Tribble, anyone?
