Hey there, I am new to your site. Is this a list of foods you intend to make recipes for, or recipes you’ve found? If the latter, can you post a more complete list of links because I am interested in trying to make them, but lack the talent (I think) to make them up myself. Thanks either way.
It’s a list of foods found in the book. I don’t intend to cook all of them, but I use it as a reference point when I want to find something to make next!

Hey do you have a list of page numbers for these dishes?
Oh darn, no, I don’t. I used the Kindle edition to read and highlight. Do you have a certain one you want to find let me know and I’ll go find the chapter.
My chef and I are putting together a theme dinner. I am thinking of doing 5 courses. One from 5 different settings. Winterfell the wall, kings landing, the great grass sea, then I was thinking red wedding cake for dessert. I know I want to do the roasted goat for the great grass sea. I have the books, but with 3 kids its hard to find time to reread to track it all down.
She brought back a haunch of goat and a basket of fruits and vegetables. Jhiqui roasted the meat with sweetgrass and firepods, basting it with honey as it cooked, and there were melons and pomegranates and plums and some queer eastern fruit Dany did not know.

“My fellow magisters have doubled the size of the city guard,” Illyrio told them over platters of honey duck and orange snap peppers one night at the manse that had been Drogo’s.

Tyrion grinned. “Then I shall scour the Seven Kingdoms for dwarfs and ship them all to you, Lord Mormont.” As they laughed, he sucked the meat from a crab leg and reached for another. The crabs had arrived from Eastwatch only this morning, packed in a barrel of snow, and they were succulent.

Note: not sure why I said they were raw, they were probably cooked.
All the while the courses came and went. A thick soup of barley and venison. Salads of sweetgrass and spinach and plums, sprinkled with crushed nuts. Snails in honey and garlic. Sansa had never eaten snails before; Joffrey showed her how to get the snail out of the shell, and fed her the first sweet morsel himself. Then came trout fresh from the river, baked in clay; her prince helped her crack open the hard casing to expose the flaky white flesh within. And when the meat course was brought out, he served her himself, slicing a queen’s portion from the joint, smiling as he laid it on her plate. She could see from the way he moved that his right arm was still troubling him, yet he uttered not a word of complaint. Later came sweetbreads and pigeon pie and baked apples fragrant with cinnamon and lemon cakes frosted in sugar, but by then Sansa was so stuffed that she could not manage more than two little lemon cakes, as much as she loved them.

“Serve the boar at my funeral feast,” Robert rasped. “Apple in its mouth, skin seared crisp. Eat the bastard. Don’t care if you choke on him. Promise me, Ned.”
