Synopsis: True Blood is the blockbuster paranormal drama set in Louisiana s bayou country, in the fictional town of Bon Temps. From its first season, True Blood has been HBO s biggest hit series since the Sopranos, which launched the premium cable company into play with the mainstream broadcasters. Created by Alan Ball, True blood is in its 4th season and, with 13 million viewers at close of Season 3, 275,000 followers on Twitter, and 8.4 million fans on Facebook, it is the HBO series that attracts the widest range of viewers nationwide. The cooking of eastern Louisiana lends authenticity to many scenes in True Blood. This book celebrates the Bayou country cooking served up at Merlotte s and in the home kitchens of the show s characters, rounded out with drinks from Fangtasia and with a few maenad feasts. The book includes 82 recipes true to the cooking of the region and, whenever possible, relevant to the food and drinks seen in the episodes (examples: Gran s Pecan Pie, Cajun-style Eggs Benedict, Alcide s Breakfast Hash). All recipes are introduced by headnotes (written in the voice of the cast character to whom the recipe is attributed) and gathered into 3 chapters, each introduced by a chapter intro (written in the different characters voices). The book opens with a main introduction (in Sookie s voice) and approximately 25 sidebars run throughout, featuring recipes and relevant quotes (such as babyvamp Jessica s musings about not cooking, from her blog on HBO s homepage).
