A third Heroes' Feast cookbook is sliding onto kitchen shelves on 15 September 2026, and this one finally answers the question every D&D group has joked about: what does a bard actually eat for breakfast? Heroes' Feast: Legends of the Table organises 80 brand-new recipes around the game's playable classes, so you can plan a session-themed feast for druids, sorcerers, paladins or whoever's running the table this week.

Start organising for freeThe cookbook trio of Kyle Newman, Jon Peterson and Michael Witwer is back from the original 2020 Heroes' Feast and 2023's Flavors of the Multiverse. Both previous books became unlikely New York Times bestsellers, with the first selling over 700,000 copies, so Ten Speed Press is clearly happy to keep the gravy train going.
Each dish was developed by a professional chef from one of America's top test kitchens, and none of the recipes have appeared in the previous Heroes' Feast books. The preview menu hints at the kind of fare you'd find at an inn between adventures: Flash-Fried Berry Fritters, Pumpkin Honey Beer Bread, Minted Pea Soup, Wren Pot Pie, Faerie Cake and a Trolltide Punch for the post-quest debrief. Ingredients all come from real-world supermarkets rather than Forgotten Realms apothecaries, which is a small mercy.
Stop juggling Meetup, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. One platform for your gaming group's events, RSVPs, and member management.
See how it worksThe hardback sits at the same retail tier as Flavors of the Multiverse, which landed at around £30 in UK shops. Pre-orders are open at major book retailers and your local game store.
If you're running a long campaign, this is a brilliant excuse to host a session-zero dinner. Cook a class-themed dish for whichever character your players roll up, and you've got a memorable kickoff before the dice even hit the table. Got a regular D&D group looking for new players?
