The Essential Game of Thrones Dessert Book Sharon Powell

From Brienne of Tart to Jon Snow Cones, there are endless possibilities of word play when it comes to Game of Thrones inspired desserts. Food plays a secondary role in the award-winning television show, usually in the background and mentioned in passing. The lovely Sansa Stark and her passion for lemon cakes was one instance of food being used to further the plot and set the mood. At one-point, poor Sansa would not eat, even lemon cakes which were her favourite. In another episode, Sansa was once again faced with lemon cakes when having an uncomfortable talk with her crazy Aunt Lysa Arryn. Lysa used the sweets to catch Sansa off guard as she warned her to stay away from her future husband, Little Finger.
