NERD ALERT: Chris-Rachael Oseland's Wood for Sheep: The Unauthorized Settlers Cookbook[1] is a "Settlers of Catan[2] "-themed cookbook and we definitely need to get our hands on it.
For those of you who are not total dorks for German civilization-building games[3] , "Settlers of Catan" is just that and has a cult following that lies somewhere between The Lord of The Rings and Risk[4] . Its iconic board, comprised of hexagonal resource tiles that help you build roads, cities, armies, etc., has finally been commemorated in a series of party dips, crudite platters and desserts. Since games of Settlers can often take well over an hour, snacks are a must. That these snacks just happen to be thematically on-point, as well as appropriate for the many dietary restrictions of a usual cabal of gaming nerds is an added bonus. Don't worry, a nacho bar is still included.
Even if you can't quite jive with the whole gluten-free, paleo, vegan, etc. angle of the book, the recipe collections are still great for dreaming up your own wheat, cheese and meat-laden board game day feasts. Now, who's going to step up to the plate and turn Settlers into a drinking game next?
