Okay- now that Artfight is over I have time to return to this blog. It might take be a little to get back into the swing of things (and recover physically, I did a lot of shrimping at the desk this year) but I’m gonna be getting on some of the recipe requests! Sorry for the wait!

Hey, could I request vegetarian recipes for a Vampire kin? Thank you in advance!

Sure thing! This one is a little trickier, but I’m willing to give it a shot. This time Im gonna lean a bit more into some of the folklore around them rather than recipes that are just red, meat and tomato based. I’ll be using the same rough guidelines of food that would be good for someone who’s a little anemic.

One of the more agreed upon depictions of vampires across cultures is arithromania, or the idea that throwing any sort of grain or similar granules would make them so distracted they’d be forced count them until the sun rose. Poppyseeds, millet, and rice seemed popular- but I went with some barley for these two Barley and Vegetable soups for the more savory options.

For slightly more sweet- I was torn between two poppyseed recipes, either with picking a more traditional European poppyseed roll, or a lemon poppyseed cake for the added citrus brightening it up. Ultimately- I decided on both.

The pale, burn in the sun elegant vampires we know today are a relatively newer invention, evolving a lot over time. Prior to the super pale depictions of vampires were a little more familiar with today, historically some of those depictions were more ruddy, round and bloated, especially after feeding. Combine with a cereal crop with some iron content, and the round red berries? Oatmeal cranberry bars felt fitting.

I’ve heard one of the ways to protect yourself from a vampire involved mixing blood with bread. So I got a couple beetroot bread recipes, one a more bread like sourdough, and a bit of fluffier looking one that reportedly pairs well with goat cheese.

Speaking of goats- there’s a couple creatures that are associated with vampiric tendencies, and goats specifically, though we probably wouldn’t recognize either as a traditional vampire. There’s the Greek empousa, a creature with a goat and copper leg that is said to drink blood, and the Latin American chupacabra, a creature said to drink blood of livestock and who’s name literally translates to goat sucker. So let’s throw in a couple goat cheese related recipes for fun.

- goat cheese and spinach quiche

- goat cheese tart with tomatoes

- goat cheese and walnut salad

Next I went to a bit more visual food items. Vegetarian kidney bean chili, and beetroot soup! It’s about as close/far I can get with some of the heavier meat/blood associations, but it’s the thought that counts.

Finally, I’m topping this all off with a drink. Blood Orange agua Fresca. Hope you enjoy!

hey! i'm a vigilante/anti-hero who is also a vampire (source is Complicated but i'm basically an oc at this point), and i don't really have any dietary restrictions other than no garlic, and i'd prefer somewhat easy to prepare foods so we can try making the recipes ourselves

Alright! Seeing as I don’t know what source the anti hero is from, Im gonna be focusing more on the vampire part, as I can’t really tie many references in or add specific regional cuisine. That being said- there’s a lot of stuff we could work with for the vampire part, ranging from colors, pop culture, and associations, to complimentary foods like acids, vitamin c, and iron. (Fun fact, if you’re anemic, these things help with the absorption of the iron in your food). Curiously- it’s almost easier to find anti vampire foods, but I did my best! So, let’s get into some vampire themed foods.

Starting off the list, I couldn’t help it. Paprika Hendl. I blame Dracula Daily for this one.

A tomato tear and share, this one is a video link to be clear, there are plenty of recipes like this in written form, but just didn’t quite capture the ingredients, process, and end result the way this did.

I wanted to add some kidney bean chili, both for the pun, and for the presence of many useful things. The legumes, the meat, and the red tomato sauce. Unfortunately, most of these use garlic or garlic powder in their ingredients. This one’s on the simpler side, but still seems satisfying.

You could also go for a bloody bolognese sauce paired with a longer, thicker and flatter pasta like papparadelle if you want to try playing with a bit more of a guts kinda vibe.

Shakshuka with some added beans. Once again returning to a vibrant red recipe, but this one adds some other forms of protein.

Some watermelon agua fresca, for a nice, red and hydrating drink in the recent heatwaves. Best served fresh from the fridge.

Red velvet cake (here’s a strawberry buttercream frosting if cream cheese isn’t your thing!)

Blood orange cake both for the name and stunning colors of this kind of citrus, as well as to help some of the other things go down nicely.

Hello!! Could you do some for mermaidkin?

Sure thing! Mermaids have a long and storied history with humans and their imaginations. There’s something so evocative about it. Theres so many different kinds, different myths, different stories, that it’s honestly kind of hard to narrow a few recipes down! There’s so many places to take inspiration from, from stories like the little mermaid, to stories of drowned souls and sirens luring sailors to their doom.

I decided to split things into general inspirations, and more mythologized ones. I wanted to get a variety of recipes, so I may have stretched some of the recipes a bit farther than what might be immediately understood as mermaid inspired. I hope that’s alright, and that you enjoy!

Seas and seafoam

- starting off, we have an old fashioned sweet dish called a Seafoam salad, even if it’s more of a pudding.

- if you’re seeking a somewhat more adult recipe, here’s a link to a cocktail inspired by sirens and Seafoam

- though not quite seawater inspired, this raindrop cake certainly is an interesting treat that uses agar agar to solidify it, which is a compound from seaweed. Typically served with a simple syrup and some toasted soy bean flour alongside, you might be able to try something a little saltier and complex to go alongside it, like a sea salt caramel. It’s definitely a trickier recipe to execute, and takes a few liberties, but I thought it was interesting enough to include.

- Scaling it back a bit, this candied ginger recipe is a lot simpler to execute, and a classic aid for seasickness. Boiling the ginger first helps remove some of the spiciness to it, and I enjoyed cutting them into smaller pieces when I made them. I also botched the sugar syrup that it usually turns out with, but ginger sugar clusters are just as delicious if your syrup crystallizes.

- the first of our salmon recipes, this crab stuffed salmon is a decadently rich inclusion inspired more by the waters of Alaska and their lovely sea wolves.

- moving from the more general, the next stop is the Sargasso Sea. Golden seaweed, and a sanctuary for certain species of turtle and eels to raise their young- this golden fried eel seemed very fitting.

- similarly, I wanted to include a golden pasta, so I ended up with this golden onion and breadcrumb concoction. It’s a bit different than the toasty, nutty kind of associations I have with the sea, but toasting the spaghetti in the style of spaghetti all’assassina is still on the table

- while we’re here, why not try some salty seaweed soup?

- lastly, to round this out, here are a couple paella recipes to test out.

Myths and Mermaids

- starting us off is a trio of dishes, inspired by a story from the Isle of Man about a mermaid, a sailor, and an apple tree. It might not be what you think about when mermaids come to mind, but the descriptors of the man’s home led me to picking out this apple rose custard tart.

- then there was the fish, the herring the mermaid promised to help him find, in the form of this potato and herring stew

- lastly, to combine the two sides of it, I found a rather interesting pickled herring and apple salad.

- the little mermaid is a rather more well known story than that of the ben varrey, so I wanted to include a recipe paying respects to that. This salmon smørrebrød seemed a fitting reference to the land of Hans Christian Andersen.

- Green pasta. This one was more loosely based on the Slavic rusalka, said to have green hair. It might be a bit of a sillier inspiration, but the imagery really grabbed me and wouldn’t let go.

Bonus- here’s a link to the tale of the ben varrey. It really was a charming story.

hiya! could i ask for recipes for a bunny kin? thank you in advance!

Sure thing! Rabbits tend to eat things high in fiber, and while we can’t eat straw, there’s the classic greens, veggies, and fruits to work with for some treats. I wanted to hit a variety of different recipes, seeing as human bodies can’t quite process hay and grass the same way a bunny can. I ended up getting a bit wordy and put a lot of thought into it. I tried to hit the food groups that are most applicable, while trying to avoid some of the more obvious ones? I didn’t think that just a list of various salads would be very fun. I hope you enjoy the variety!

Obligatory carrot cake and salad recipes

- carrot cake. While I did see some interesting things about carrot cake cinnamon rolls if you want to check those out, I ended up going with the classic. Initially I had heard about it through adding carrot to the filling- but the recipes got more complicated with adding to the dough, and knowing how difficult it is to please the pastry gods- I decided to pass on it. Still thought it was interesting, so if it’s something that sounds up your alley- I decided to leave a mention if you’d to look into it further.

- Spring Salad. a lot of recipes come down less to the leafy greens and more to the sauces and additions. Ultimately I picked this one for more interesting base salad choices and less oil, fat and citrus content you see in others.

Okay! On to the other recipes.

A bit more breakfasty-

- Overnight Oats, this one offers a variety of options! Chia seeds and fruit are always good additions.

- Berry Smoothie Bowl for something a little fruitier, the toppings seemed rather fun and it’s also something you can customize more to your preferences.

- Baked oat bars, on the simpler side, but still plenty enjoyable on its own or with some fruit of choice if you’d like!

Midday treats

- dandelion fritters- while a lot of recipe blogs have frankly excessive and unneccsary additions, I highly recommend giving this blog a read. Dandelions are some of my favorite flowers, and there’s so many interesting things to know about them and some interesting tips about processing them to counteract some of the more bitter elements so you can focus on enjoying them to the fullest within

- while we’re at it, a bit of a wilder recipe for a pizza involving some forage. If the suggested recipe is a bit much- or if it’s a bit tricky to get some ingredients, there are other dandelion pestos available that are simple and delicious.

- Carrot Pudding, for a mildly spiced treat!

- Mediterranean bean salad. I wanted to find a way to incorporate more variety and fiber than just sticking to grains.

And finally, for a much more savory option- spaghetti.

Spaghetti probably wasn’t expected, but when I think of bunnies nibbling on grass… you can draw parallels to nibbling/eating spaghetti in a bit of a more lady and the tramp style. I would try looking into different of kinds too, there’s some pastas made with different toes of grain, or added greens for colors. Throw in some whole grain, buckwheat, durum or other interesting noodles, and try grating up some carrots to add to your sauce! I found Chef Boiardees recipe a good jumping off point personally, even adding a bit of spinach towards the end can make for a really fun thing. If you don’t mind a bit of extra work- here’s a hidden veggie sauce too.

Zedaph (MCYT/Hermitcraft) with candy/sweets? Just for funsies :P!

Sure thing! There’s a lot of wild potential shenanigans for someone as wacky as Zedaph. I tried to pull from a few of his different series. I ended up having a lot of thoughts, and a lot to say about my choices. So here we go, I tried to organize them below.

Create Mod, season 2

One of the things I remember most from the series was Zedaph deciding his food of choice from the create mod, amongst sweet rolls, chocolate glazed berries, and builders teas- would be honey apples, which were clearly superior to Minecraft’s golden apple.

- honey apple crumble

- Baked apple

Worm Man

No relation to Zedaph, his assistant nOPE. Absolutely none. Anyways

- Dirt Cups

- Moon Milk to save the moonlight server, has a lot of varieties, with some complicated specialty ingredients. I figured I’d add a couple links to a couple simpler ones, as the concept behind it is pretty sound even without them. Here’s a pink one that’s also a vegan recipe.

Hermitcraft

Hermitcraft has a lot of great seasons and a lot of moments to pick from.

- pastel de nata season 7s egg farm in the cave of contraptions left an impression! There’s certainly a lot of eggs left over, so why not make some eggy custard tarts?

- the Combrewter, an invention so nice he had to make it twice, appeared in both season 7 and 8. Have a spider eye potion (cherry fizzy drink), and maybe a coffee treat or two to celebrate it.

Tumblr Bonus

- Battery Acid Sphaghetti

hi! maybe some recipes for a galaxy kin :3?

Sure thing! This is a bit of a trickier one, but here are some things that remind me of space! I tried focusing on aspects of space and things found in the galaxy rather than the overall theme. As much as I love a galaxy mirror glaze cake, or decorated cookies- I wanted to offer a bit more variety. Hope you enjoy!

Space rocks (“Nightmare potatoes” via Quincy’s Tabern, Rice Krispie adjacent recipe)

Bun rieu (crab and pork soup, couldn’t manage to find a beef one. So I split the Crab Nebula and Taurus constellation reference into two slots)

Beef and cheese Buns (Taurus, but couldn’t resist adding some Milky Way cheese, and the sesame seeds could even be stars)

Red velvet rose pavlova (rose nebula)

Galaxy bubble tea (a sweet drink with a variety of layers and colors!)

Palmier cookies (I wanted to find something that reminded me of Saturns rings)

Galaxy roll cake (couldn’t resist this one)
