Author Cassandra Reeder launched her blog The Geeky Chef in 2008, bringing fictional food and drinks from a vast array of fandoms into reality with simple and fun recipes. Since then, a series of cookbooks based on the trailblazing blog have been published, including The Geeky Chef Cookbook and The Geeky Bartender Drinks. In 2023, she released The Unofficial Princess Bride Cookbook, a delicious celebration of the classic cult film. When not conjuring up recipes for fictional food, Cassandra can be found having adventures and perusing the food carts in Portland, OR with her husband and two little geeks.
