After waiting for what felt like an eternity, Game of Thrones is finally back — rejoice! Knowing that there is just one more season after this (hold back those tears), we can expect that a lot of the show’s unanswered questions (like, where is Jorah?) and stories of intrigue and betrayal to be wrapped up. Oh, and as usual, we’ll all be bracing ourselves for at leastoneof our favorite characters to be killed off. It never does get easier.
In spite of all the grief Game of Thrones has given us over the years, we keep coming back for more. So, for all of you who regularly plan your own Game of Thrones viewing party, we’ve got a list of 15 GoT/medieval-inspired recipes in store.
1.House Targaryen Dragon Eggs
These House Targaryen Dragon Eggs are truly fit for the Mother of Dragons — they’re simple to make and truly delicious! They taste decadent and chocolaty, but they’re actually deceptively healthy.
2. Lemon Tea Cakes
Longtime fans of GoT could tell you that Sansa Stark’s favorite dessert is lemon cakes. So why not celebrate by whipping up a batch of these citrusy and aromatic mini cakes? These Lemon Tea Cakes are more of a sweet quick bread; there’s no creaming of butter required and it’s not too sweet. Instead, it uses coconut oil, which adds a subtle nuttiness to the overall essence of the cake. It’s delicate, truly cake-like and fragrant from the combination of lemon, vanilla, and cardamom. Gluten-free? Don’t worry — check out the recipe below.
3.Super Easy Lemon Cake
This grain-free Easy Lemon Cake is easy to make and super fresh. Nuts and coconut flour replace the traditional wheat flour and the cake is sweetened with xylitol, a healthy alternative to cane sugar when used sparingly. But if you’re not a fan, you can definitely replace it with your favorite sweetener without any issue. It literally takes 5 minutes to whip out and just 15 minutes to bake. Eat it warm or cold, it’s delicious.
4. Liquid Gold Turmeric Latte
This beautiful, healthy Liquid Gold Turmeric Latte is spicy and slightly sweet with the color of gold warming your insides and lifting your soul. It can represent the wealth of House Lannister or call back to the theatrical demise ofViserys Targaryen back in Season 1.

Being set in a medieval-esquefantasy setting, GoT is brimming with all kinds of simple, savory meat pies (like pigeon pie).

A creamy, garlicky mushroom filling is sealed within a flaky puff pastry pie crust.

Weasel, a girl who Arya Stark helped escape from an attack by House Lannister, was said to survive mostly on savory oatcakes. These Scottish Oat Cakescan be enjoyed with hummus, guacamole, dairy-free cheese, jam- you name it! They are ultra crumbly, tasty, and light, which makes them perfect for lunch with fresh salad or to nibble on by themselves. They are somewhere between a cracker and cookie, and not only are they super versatile, but they are easy and quick to make as well.

This little mushroom is prized for its medicinal capabilities and this cider is the perfect way to take your medicine. The cinnamon, vanilla, and apple flavors mix together seamlessly to make a tasty, healthy beverage.
11.Mini Sweet Corn and Strawberry Cake
This Mini Sweet Corn and Strawberry Cake may not be an exact GoT dupe, but we can definitely see this being the type of the dessert that the royals of Highgarden would love to eat.This cake tastes a little like cornbread, but with a smoother texture. The sweetness comes from added sugar, of course, but also from corn milk, with is quite honeyed on its own. There are only two added tablespoons of oil, but if you want to make the cake a bit more decadent, you can soak the layers in full-fat coconut milk. Then it becomes almost like a tres leches cake, which, incidentally, I hated growing up, but obviously like now. The soaking is purely optional, as the cake is delicious either way.
12. Pineapple Honey
No GoT feast is complete without honey and with this Pineapple Honey, you can have it vegan! We recommend adding it to cider, drizzling it on cakes, or even just serving it with butter and some vegan bread.
13. Whole Wheat Sourdough Boule
Speaking of bread, this Sourdough Boule would be the perfect companion to the Pineapple Honey above! Or, you can serve it like bread and salt, which is part of the Westerosi tradition of hospitality. Simply hollow out the top a little, add salt, then just tear off a piece of bread and dip it in the salt.
14.Grilled Vegetable, Olive Flatbread, and Hummus Plate
King’s Landing is a sunny, opulent country with weather similar to a country on the Mediterranean coast — so we can definitely see them eating food like thisGrilled Vegetable, Olive Flatbread, and Hummus Plate.The flavors of the grilled spelt flatbread flavored with olives and herbs, quick and easy hummus, and grilled hummus and zucchini all work in harmony together. Marinated lives and juicy cherry tomatoes on the side add more color and flavor to the plate. Serve with a big, green salad on the side with plates, because this dish was made to be shared.
15. Biscuits and Mushroom Gravy
If we’re talking about medieval settings, we can’t leave out a peasant staple like bread and gravy — so we suggest these Biscuits and Mushroom Gravy. Life will taste good with these fluffy, soft, gluten-free biscuits accompanied with mushroom gravy. It’s the ultimate comfort food side that will leave you craving for more. These are great for dinner parties, but also make great leftover snacks/sides for yourself.
So, there you have it! Enjoy season seven of Game of Thrones with these tasty vegan snacks — and we hope your favortie character survives.
