    About this ebook

    Hunker down on the sofa for your next box-set binge with a themed bite to eat, or a drink to sip – from snacks and burgers to sticky cakes and strong cocktails, a fun foodie treat is within easy reach!
    Next time you plan a night in with Netflix why not up the ante by preparing themed food and drinks to keep your energy levels steady and make your viewing experience the best it can be. Choose from the Fantasy chapter and enjoy a slice of Sookie's Grandma's Pecan Pie while squirming at True Blood; or pick a box set and recipe from Crime and chow down on some Los Pollos Hermanos-style fried chicken with Breaking Bad; Medical ideas include some deep-pan pizza with Chicago-based ER, or if a good Legal drama is your thing join lawyer Alicia Florrick in a few shots of well-earned Tequila; Political drama gets a look in too – White House fixer Olivia Pope lives on popcorn and (really) good red wine in the sensational Scandal, or simply get the Girls round for Bundt cake to lighten the mood and forge friendships... Whatever your TV addiction, there is a snack here to enjoy while you stream the hours away.

      Binge-watching eats - Katherine Bebo

      Hungry for More

      Gone are the days when you have to wait a whole week to find out what happens to your favourite characters in your must-watch show. No more cliffhangers, no more will they/won’t they? hand-wringing and no more ‘Argh, I missed it – I thought it started at 7 o’clock!’ outbursts. These days, we are firmly in the Binge-Watching Age. So much so that, in 2015, the Collins English Dictionary chose ‘binge-watch’ as the word of the year. We are now able to indulge in back-to-back-to-back (to-back) episodes of pretty much whatever TV show we desire. Our viewing pleasure is magnificently on-demand, so we can witness our buddies on the small screen save the day, fall in love, self-destruct and reach the top all in one sitting if the mood strikes (and we can stay awake). Want to hear Tony Soprano’s next therapy breakthrough? Just one more! Need to know if Carrie kicks Big to the curb? Keep it running! Can’t wait to find out who Don Draper seduces next?

      Don’t you dare press pause!

      While you’re gorging on Game of Thrones, devouring Dexter or scarfing down Scrubs, what better way to enhance your day/evening/night than with some delicious food and drink to complement your show of choice? Enter Binge-Watching Eats. Each chapter in this book outlines a specific genre and recommends various dishes and tipples that will be the perfect accompaniment to your binge-watching sesh. Forget Netflix and chill – with these delightful recipes, it’s all about Netflix and fill. Whatever excites you enough to sit on your backside for hours on end – be it comedy, fantasy, politics, crime, drama, retro shows or musicals – we’ve got you covered, and then some.

      Are you feeling the lure of your sofa? Is Netflix calling? Is it time to get your digital streaming on? Before you hunker down, flick through this book and decide what you’re going to eat to keep your hunger down – you don’t want your growling stomach to interrupt your marathon-viewing. Warning: as you’re contemplating which recipe to rustle up and which TV show to dive in to, there may be some spoilers lurking (#sorrynotsorry). Once your feast is prepared, grab your ‘Thanksgiving pants’ (à la Joey Tribbiani), close the curtains, climb under your Slanket and prepare yourself for a session of serious satisfaction.

      In the words of Jesse Pinkman: binge this, bitch!

      You know, maybe if you eat more comfort food you wouldn’t have to go around shooting people.

      – Hugo ‘Hurley’ Reyes, Lost

      Chapter 1

      Is It Just Fantasy?

      the taste is out there

      Featured Shows

      Game of Thrones, Outlander, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, Lost, The X-Files, Stranger Things, Doctor Who.

      Other Shows

      Black Mirror, Supernatural, The Magicians, Eerie Indiana, The Flash, Arrow, Once Upon a Time, American Gods, Lucifer, The Originals, Shadowhunters, Supergirl, Smallville, Westworld, Van Helsing, Penny Dreadful, Heroes, Charmed.

      How did robot dogs come to take over the world? Is that polar bear charging about in purgatory? And just why does Mulder love sunflower seeds so much? Fantasy TV can throw up some real head-scratchers. You’ll need brain food to come up with a few plausible theories. Perhaps these recipes will inspire you to arrive at answers about the space-time continuum. Maybe you’ll put together an action plan on how you’d defend your kingdom in Westeros. Or you could reach a conclusion about whether or not we’re alone in the universe. But there’s the chance that they’ll simply encourage you to sit back, eat, and watch all the mind-bending craziness unfold while you’re pulled into a black hole of deliciousness.

      Lemon Cake

      Channel your inner Sansa Stark and settle down for an evening of zingy escapism with Game of Thrones. Lemon cakes are Sansa’s favourite, and a preferred treat for the noblewomen of the Seven Kingdoms.

      225 g/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened

      250 g/1 cup clear honey

      100 g/½ cup dark muscovado sugar

      250 g/2 cups self-raising/self-rising flour

      3 UK large (US extra-large) eggs

      50 ml/3½ tablespoons London dry gin

      TOPPING

      200 g/1⅔ cups icing/confectioners’ sugar

      grated zest of 1 lemon

      a 20-cm/8-inch loose-bottomed cake pan, greased

      Serves 10–12

      Preheat the oven to 160ºC (325ºF) Gas 3.

      Put the butter, honey and sugar in a saucepan set over a gentle heat and melt slowly. Bring to the boil for a minute, then remove from the heat and set aside to cool for about 15 minutes.

      Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl and beat in the eggs. Add the honey mixture and stir in, then add the gin and keep stirring. Don’t worry if it looks a little runny – just so long as it’s smooth.

      Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes. Do the skewer test; if it comes out clean, then you’re home dry. If not, give the cake a little more time in the oven, but you may want to lay a sheet of kitchen foil over the top of the cake to stop it from getting too much colour. When cooked through, remove from the oven and turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

      To make the topping, add a few drops of water to the icing/confectioners’ sugar and mix to a spreadable consistency. Spoon the icing over the cake, decorate with a sprinkling of lemon zest and leave to set.

      Scott ish Oatcakes

      Transport yourself to the Scottish Highlands with these crumbly oatcakes, then head over to France (where the second season of Outlander is set) when you top them with a wonderfully smelly French cheese. A satisfied sigh is definitely in your future (or is it your past?).

      200 g/1½ cups rolled/old-fashioned oats

      80 g/⅔ cup plain/all-purpose flour, sifted, plus extra for dusting

      1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda/baking soda

      1 teaspoon salt

      1 teaspoon sugar

      80 g/5 tablespoons butter, chilled and cubed

      80 ml/⅓ cup warm milk

      a 7.5-cm/3-inch round cookie cutter

      a baking sheet, greased and lined with non-stick baking paper

      Makes 16

      Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) Gas 4.

      Put the oats, flour, bicarbonate of soda/baking soda, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Rub the butter into the oat mixture using your fingertips. Add the milk and bring the mixture together into a firm dough, adding a little more milk if the mixture is too dry.

      On a flour-dusted surface, roll out the dough thinly and stamp out circles using the cookie cutter, re-rolling the trimmings as necessary. (You should re-roll the dough only once as it will become crumbly with the extra flour and difficult to roll.)

      Arrange the oatcakes on the prepared baking sheet a small distance apart and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then turn over and cook for a further 5–10 minutes until crisp and lightly golden brown. Leave to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

      The oatcakes will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
