There are over 175 recipes, with a variety of smaller items in between; over 75 full-color photographs accompany the text. While many of the recipes are Southwestern in influence, a few gems have been inspired by Galaxies Far, Far Away, and Final Frontiers, as well as Middle-earth and other imaginary and culturally popping lands. Cooking for Halflings & Monsters, Volume 3: Celebrating Comfy, Cozy Foods from North America is an often humorous culinary ride through a year not only of holidays but also of everyday life.
