You would think that the second book of The Hunger Games Trilogy
Katniss spends a fair amount of time in Capitol care, such as on the train during the Victory Tour and the big party at the Capitol. They feast at banquets and a lot of the time Suzanne Collins doesn’t go into details about the dishes, but there’s still 47 food references to try (eliminating duplicate references).

With beaver stew, I’d suggest using beef instead, haha. I wonder how the cold soup of pureed vegetables would come out, though…?
I seriously have to wonder if it’s even legal to kill and eat a beaver!
I’m pretty sure it is. You can trap them where I live and sell their pelts.
THAT is just WRONG!!
Cant wait to see the recipes you come up with for this! 🙂
Something tells me I have to skip the beaver stew! lol
Please make the spiced milk! I tried, but when I put in enough spice it was gritty. Maybe Starbucks Chai Tea Concentrate?
The spiced milk is probably very similar to the Thai Chi tea from Teavana made with milk
Good luck! It’s the soup recipes I’ve been hanging out for 🙂 I can’t wait!
Yeah I’ve been eyeing up the rose petal soup myself!
I wanna see what you do with the tree rat…it’ll be interesting.
can you show the reipie on how to make the pink frothy soup from catchingfire? (#16)
thanks!
I think a recipe for the seafood and spicy sauce would be cool. ;D
I think you forgot one! Its the one throw up drink that Katnisses prep team uses at the capitol party on page 79, in the “…tiny stemmed wineglasses filled with a clear liquid.” I just needed to say that!
Can’t wait for frothy pink soup with raspberries
Right now, I am currently making the pumpkin soup topped with slivered nuts and seeds described in catching fire!!
I would love to see number 35, 16, 46, 14, 15 (I love food), and 6. My mom made your food for the premiere of the movie, and I have to say I love all the food. I’m always making Peeta’s burnt nut and raisin bread; since it tastes soo good and is so simple.
Try not to do simple things like potatos and such do unique food.
Can you do #14, the creamy pumpkin soup topped with slivered nuts and tiny black seeds? I’ve been dying to taste it since I read about it in the book. Please please please please!!!!!
I’m kind of curious about the pine needle tea with Bonnie and Twill!
My grandma’s church put out a cookbook a few years back–there’s actually a recipe for beaver stew in it.

I would take a guess that the “spicy red sauce” that’s part of the District 3 bread, shellfish, and spicy red sauce (#46) is probably just the usual red cocktail sauce (the horseradish in it is what makes it spicy) that is served with shrimp cocktail. Easy peasy. 🙂

I rediscovered your blog by accident, I’m the one who originally asked for the pumpkin soup, which I’ve made multiple times last winter because it was so good!!!! (I wanted to make it this year, but my grocery store didn’t get any pumpkin in because it doesn’t sell very well 🙁 oh well)
I was really sad to see you hadn’t posted in 2 years, I hope everything is okay and going well for you.
I hope you’ll get back to recipe making again! I would love it if you would make #12 on the list, the fowl stuffed with savory fruits and nuts, or #36 pheasant with jewel colored jellies as I’ve never tried pheasant before and recently found a place that sells it and would like to try it 🙂
Either way, hope everything is okay with you!
