The Zelda Gourmet

In Breathe of the Wild I am so happy they brought back cucco corralling. This little piece of nostalgia helps bring the story back for people like me who have been playing Zelda since we were four. It is also good because it gives you a sense of purpose for a moment in the game - instead of ooh shiny! and running in the opposite direction you were heading until the next shiny thing comes along. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying BotW, especially in Master Mode. I just have to deal with my own demons with keeping concentrated on the task at hand. Speaking of which, today's recipe is Creamy Sundried Tomotoes & Pesto Cucco with Zucchini Noodles - Say that 3 times fast. Go ahead, I'll wait..... Anyways, this recipe seems like it has a lot going on, but it really isn't too bad on the difficulty scale. More time consuming with making the zoodles. If you can handle a nest of golden bokoblins, you can handle this recipe without issue. Enjoy!

It's grilling season once again, and with the latest (unprovoked) attack from the cuccos, we once again have an abundance of chicken hanging around to cook. With that, we thought we would continue to use the fabulous Hylian mushrooms that can be found throughout the countryside and the woods. And don't forget about the bullbo strips. So much good food out in the world. It would be a shame not to put it together into one fabulous meal. Enjoy!
