6 'Shadow And Bone'-Inspired Recipes That Will Make You Feel Like You're In Ravka

Chef and writer Elle Jauffret was inspired a few years ago to come up with some recipes from the Shadow and Bone novels. One of those recipes is this quail roasted in honey dish, which sounds like a medieval delicacy. If you've never roasted some quail before, here's everything you need for this recipe:

• 4 whole quails
• 2 ¼ teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of orange juice
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 2 crushed-up garlic cloves
• 4 sprigs of thyme
• Salt and pepper

Take your ingredients and create a rub to add to your quails before putting them in the oven at 500 degrees. Cook for about 10 minutes and then cover with any remaining spread before cooking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Once it's all golden brown, you'll have some delicious roasted quails with sweet honey.

Jauffret actually has an unofficial Shadow and Bone cookbook online that you can check out for even more free recipes. One of which is The True Sea Fish Tacos inspired by the Unsea. What you'll need for this tasty dish are:

• 4 medium fillets of white fish
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• ¼ of a shredded red cabbage
• ½ cup of sour cream
• A lime
• 3 tablespoons of lime juice
• ¼ cup of cilantro
• ½ cup of fresh chives
• 8 tortillas
• Salt and pepper
• Your choice of hot sauce

For your tacos, you'll want to start making the slaw first using the sour cream, lime juice, red cabbage, and salt and pepper. While your fish is cooking at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, warm up your tortillas. When the fish is cooked and cut into strips, you can start assembling your tacos with the slaw, fish, cilantro, and chives.

For dessert, serve up some Butter Week Almond Cake. In Alina's own words, Butter Week had been the "best time," and we can totally understand why. Think of all the bread, cheese, and sweets.

You won't need too much for this recipe. Simply:

• 1 cup of almond powder
• ¼ cup of sugar
• 7 tablespoons of softened butter
• 5 drops of orange extract
• 1 to 2 sheets of a your fave puff pastry

Combine everything together to add to the puff pastry, and fold it all up nicely. Bake for about 35 minutes at 350 degrees, and you'll have a delicious treat to snack on.

Another sweet dish from Jauffret that you can make are these Malenchki dumplings (aka "little ghosts"). They're sweet dumplings served with peaches, which can be found in Ravka. All you need for this dish are:

• 1 ½ cup of flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 cup of milk
• 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
• Granulated sugar
• Sliced peaches

Combine all your dry ingredients, then add in your milk. From there, you'll drop your spoonful of batter into simmering cinnamon and water for about 15 minutes. Once your dumplings have puffed up, it's time to serve with your sliced peaches. This is actually great for any summer hangs in the backyard.

If you're Team Mal (and are 21+), you can make yourself this Mal-inspired cocktail from TikTok. In TikToker @paperbackpotables' recipe, combine the following in one glass:

• Ice
• 1 ounce vodka
• ½ ounce of amaretto
• 1 ounce of coffee liqueur
• Whipped heavy cream
• A sprinkle of salt

It's basically a Blushin' Russian cocktail, which is perfect as the Grishaverse is inspired by a lot of Russian culture.

Just like the Butter Week Almond Cake, this recipe for bird-shaped rolls is inspired by the celebration in Shadow and Bone. This is probably the most Instagram-worthy of the dishes on this list, because it's actually sweet bread that looks like an adorable bird. Here's what you'll need:

• 1 cup milk
• ⅓ cup of granulated sugar
• ¼ cup of brown sugar
• ⅓ cup of butter
• 1 tablespoon yeast
• 3 ¾ cup of flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• A pinch of cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 tablespoon water
• Dried currants

The hardest part will be trying to get the perfect bird shape, but Fiction-Food Café gives you some step-by-step instructions on how to assemble your bread knots perfectly.
