A Fool Of A Cook

Cooking Like the Fellowship

LOTR-inspired camping and cooking series where I recreate the experience of the Fellowship travelling through Middle-earth, using one of their camp scenes as inspiration. I’d head out into nature with basic camping equipment and recreate the kind of simple food they might prepare on the journey, cooking over a fire and keeping everything as rustic as possible. The video would combine camping, cooking and LOTR storytelling, making viewers feel like they are travelling through Mid Earth.

Cooking A Hobbit's Meal Every Day Until I Run Out Of Recipes

The concept is a daily cooking series where I make a different meal, snack or drink inspired by The Lord of the Rings and Middle-earth until I eventually run out of recipes. Each video starts with a consistent hook such as, “Day X of cooking a Hobbit’s meal every day until I run out of recipes. Today we’re making Hobbiton seed cakes, so let’s get to it!” I’ll then quickly take viewers through the cooking process, add some fun Lord of the Rings context or trivia, and finish by tasting the dish.

A Fool Of A Cook

For the first set of videos, I'd like to focus on cooking foods in LOTR series (bread, seed-cakes, buttered scones, mead, foods with different types of potatoes, etc). My first video will focus on making lembas bread. It will be a follow-along recipe, and I'll end with a finishing phrase like "Now it's time for elevensies" or "shoot, I'm hungry again".
