I likely wouldn&#8217;t review, say, <a href=\"https:\/\/sv.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rutiga_kokboken\">rutiga kokboken <\/a> (despite it being an excellent cookbook with fundamental recipes and practical advice). Even if I did, the review might not be particularly engaging.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I&#8217;m delving into a more specialized area; a niche within a niche.<\/p>\n<p>This review focuses on a cookbook featuring recipes inspired by <strong>movies, TV series, games<\/strong>, and <strong>books<\/strong>. The author, <strong>Cassandra Reeder<\/strong> (better known as <strong>The Geeky Chef<\/strong>), specializes in developing recipes from these media. Cookbooks based on movies and TV series aren&#8217;t entirely novel. For example, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/starwars.wikia.com\/wiki\/The_Star_Wars_Cookbook:_Wookiee_Cookies_and_Other_Galactic_Recipes\">Wookiee Cookies: A Star Wars Cookbook<\/a>&#8221; dates back to 1998.<\/p>\n<p>What resonated with me about <strong>The Geeky Chef<\/strong> is the combination of approachable language and humor, alongside well-considered recipes and appealing photography. The author previously published a cookbook titled &#8220;<strong>The Geeky Chef<\/strong>&#8220;. This review, therefore, examines the sequel&#8230; a cookbook sequel!<\/p>\n<p><em>The Geeky Chef Strikes Back<\/em> blends nostalgia with the author&#8217;s personal anecdotes and some nerdy trivia. The level of detail can be quite specific, such as in the <strong>Bloodwine<\/strong> recipe, a beverage favored by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Klingon\"><strong>Klingons<\/strong><\/a> (from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senses.se\/snart-ar-det-dags-for-star-trek-2-into-darkness\/\">Star Trek<\/a> for those unfamiliar). The recipe even incorporates a few words in their native language. My own <a href=\"https:\/\/sv.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Klingonska\">Klingon<\/a> vocabulary is, shall we say, limited. In fact, non-existent would be a more accurate assessment. For clarity, &#8220;Klingonska&#8221; is the Swedish translation of the Klingon language.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that these are not official recipes, but interpretations <em>inspired<\/em> by the source material, developed and rigorously tested by the author. She describes herself as a dedicated &#8220;home cook&#8221; and &#8220;lifelong nerd.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The book is written in English (and Klingon, to a degree). Commendably, Cassandra includes both American and metric units of measurement, simplifying the cooking process by eliminating the need for constant conversion.<\/p>\n<p>Each recipe begins with a description of the inspiration behind it, citing the specific movie, book, game, or TV episode. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senses.se\/en\/review-twin-peaks-the-entire-mystery-bd\/\">Twin Peaks<\/a> is represented by two recipes: a whiskey-based cocktail topped with blue foam, and a cherry pie \u00e1 la <a href=\"https:\/\/twinpeaks.fandom.com\/wiki\/Norma_Jennings\">Norma Jennings<\/a>, along with an explanation of the connection to <em>The Geeky Chef strikes back<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18549\" style=\"width: 409px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.senses.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/img_20190122_210409-02.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18549\" class=\"normal wp-image-18549 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.senses.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/img_20190122_210409-02.jpg\" alt=\"hacka l\u00f6k geeky chef strikes back\" width=\"399\" height=\"532\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18549\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">No, I couldn&#8217;t find a smaller knife.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The recipes are organized by type: <strong>starters<\/strong>, <strong>main courses<\/strong>, <strong>desserts<\/strong>, <strong>drinks<\/strong> (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), <strong>basic recipes<\/strong>, <strong>soups<\/strong>, and <strong>snacks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>There are eight categories in total. Arguably, this could be streamlined, as three categories are dedicated to different types of desserts. The author differentiates between cookies, pies, and cakes\/muffins, but I would consolidate these under a single <em>category<\/em> labeled &#8220;pastries.&#8221; Each category contains between five and nine recipes, totaling 56, designed to satisfy both culinary cravings and inner geek.<\/p>\n<p>The question likely arises: &#8220;Are there any <strong>Star Wars<\/strong> recipes?&#8221; The answer is yes, two in fact. However, neither of these is for &#8220;blue milk&#8221; or &#8220;green milk&#8221; (a curious omission, given its presence in grocery store dairy sections). The recipes included are a vegetable soup (rootleaf soup), the one <strong>Yoda<\/strong> offers <strong>Luke<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0076759\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\">A New Hope<\/a>, and a warm beer called Jawa Juice.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this is an enjoyable and imaginative cookbook, embodying a successful blend of originality and nerdy enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p>My primary critique concerns the use of several semi-finished products and canned goods in the recipes. Opting for fresh berries over canned, for example, would be preferable. While seasonality affects availability, advocating for fresh ingredients as a first choice, with canned as an alternative, would enhance the recipes.<\/p>\n<p>A cookbook review necessitates trying some recipes, which I did. While browsing, I decided to prepare <strong>Pizza<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jiaozi\"><strong>Gyoza<\/strong><\/a>, essentially <strong>dumpling pizza<\/strong>. As a child, I was a fan of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u-3S0j7uFcA\">Teenage mutant <em>hero<\/em> turtles<\/a> (as they were known then, due to concerns about the word &#8220;Ninja&#8221;). Michelangelo, my sole surviving Turtle from childhood, was present in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>I followed the recipe precisely for evaluation purposes. The deviations were using homemade <strong>gyoza dough<\/strong> instead of store-bought, and adding yellow onion for enhanced flavor.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18547\" style=\"width: 1180px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.senses.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/img_20190122_204048.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18547\" class=\"normal wp-image-18547 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.senses.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/img_20190122_204048.jpg\" alt=\"the geeky chef strikes back Michelangelo turtle\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18547\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The geeky turtle.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The dough consists simply of wheat flour and boiling water.<\/p>\n<p>Measure <strong>2.5 dl of wheat flour<\/strong> into a bowl and add <strong>1-1.5 dl of boiling water<\/strong>. Begin with the lesser amount of water, adding more as needed. Mix until combined into a dough that is neither too dry nor too wet. Once cool enough to handle, knead for approximately five minutes until elastic. Allow to rest under a damp towel for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>While the <strong>timer on the mobile<\/strong> counts down, prepare the filling. The <strong>ingredients<\/strong> will yield <strong>3-5 servings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>110 grams of strained tomatoes.<br \/>\n300 grams of mozzarella, cut into small pieces.<br \/>\n300 grams of pepperoni, cut into small pieces.<br \/>\n<em>50 grams of finely chopped yellow onion (my addition)<\/em>.<br \/>\n1 tbsp freshly grated parmesan.<br \/>\n1 tsp dried oregano.<br \/>\n6 fresh basil leaves (chopped).<br \/>\n2 cloves of garlic (roasted in a pan and finely chopped).<br \/>\n2 tbsp rapeseed oil for frying.<br \/>\nSalt and black pepper to taste.<br \/>\n1 dl of water for steaming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Combine tomatoes, parmesan, oregano, basil, garlic, and onion in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n<p>After the dough has rested, knead it briefly on a floured surface. Roll out the dough and divide it into four equal pieces, then divide each of those into five pieces, for a total of twenty. Roll each piece out very thinly, to about a millimeter, without tearing. The thinner the better. They should be both thin and round.<\/p>\n<p>Place a teaspoon of the tomato mixture on each gyoza (thin dough piece), covering approximately half the surface and leaving the edges clear for folding. Add a pinch of mozzarella and a pinch of pepperoni over the tomato sauce (precise measurements, I know&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>To fold the gyoza, moisten the edges of the dough with a brush or finger. Fold the dough over to form a crescent shape and press the edges together to seal in the filling. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it&#8217;s time for the actual cooking. These can be fried, boiled, or steamed, depending on preference. <em>The Geeky Chef<\/em> suggests both frying and steaming, so I followed suit, achieving a desirable color and surface by frying one side first. Use a <strong>frying pan<\/strong>, a <strong>sauteuse<\/strong>, or a <strong>pot<\/strong>, ensuring it has a lid.<\/p>\n<p>Heat the oil in your chosen cookware and fry a few gyoza at a time for a few minutes until they develop a golden surface. Then, pour in 1 deciliter of water and immediately cover with a lid to steam. Cook for 10-15 minutes. If boiling, cook for about 10 minutes; frying will be even quicker. Remove and allow to dry slightly before serving.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18548\" style=\"width: 1180px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.senses.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/img_20190122_232227.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18548\" class=\"normal wp-image-18548 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.senses.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/img_20190122_232227.jpg\" alt=\"gyoza pizza geeky chef strikes back\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18548\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The finished result. Michelangelo approves.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Serve with the leftover tomato sauce for dipping, or prepare additional sauce, as the dough itself is relatively bland and benefits from a flavorful accompaniment. The verdict? Eating pizza in dumpling form offers a novel experience, delivering the familiar pizza taste with a thinner, more neutral base.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Writing a review of a cookbook?
