CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION
In the Hunger Games trilogy, the characters fought, salivated, and sacrificed, all in the name of food. So what better way to immerse yourself in the world of Panem than through your taste buds?
Food and the need for food are used as secondary characters throughout the Hunger Games trilogy. Panem occupied its own post-apocalyptic world and, in a sense, also had its own food groups: foods hunted or foraged for basic survival, humble dishes made in the District homes, and Capitol foods that were meant to impress more than nourish.
The foods presented in Catching Fire range from simple game meats to elaborate party fare and all of these foods, from the modest to the ostentatious, are represented in Catching Fire Cookbook.
In Catching Fire—the second book of the Hunger Games trilogy—the story continues with Katniss and Peeta returning home as the victors of their Hunger Games. This part of the trilogy follows Katniss as she tries to return to a normal life and is instead thrown back into the Arena.
Catching Fire and food share the same universal theme: survival. From the inspired to the authentic, these recipes will transport you back into the world of Catching Fire and the 75th Hunger Games.
Many dishes, such as Tiny Plum Tarts, are directly mentioned in the book, while others are inspired by the different scenes that transpire. For more adventurous fans—those who don’t mind hunting for their meal—the cookbook offers recipes that are literally on the wild side, with fare such as Charred Tree Rat and Spit-Roasted Goat. These dishes would be a tantalizing feast for most of the inhabitants of Panem, although they are unusual by today’s standards.
In Chapter 1 (Return to District 12 and Touring Panem), dishes like Hazelle’s Hearty Beaver Stew represent the comfort of being home once again. Chapter 2 (The Train to Quarter Quell) includes the Soothing Honey and Spiced Milk that was meant to both calm and comfort Katniss. And in Chapter 3 (The Quarter Quell Festivities and Training), Snow’s Suckling Pig is an over-the-top dish typical of President Snow’s parties.
Chapter 4 (The 75th Hunger Games) returns readers to the Arena and features such dishes as Burnt “Tree Rat” for the Timid and Fence-Roasted Tree Nuts. In Chapter 5 (Recipes Inspired by Catching Fire) you will find recipes inspired by many of the themes, characters and events of the second book of the Hunger Games trilogy. These include Rue’s Cold Carrot and Yam Puree and Tiny Plum Tarts.
Chapter 6 (Authenticity for the Adventurous) boasts dishes such as Charred Tree Rat and Hazelle’s Authentic Beaver Stew.
Cooking and eating the foods of Catching Fire Cookbook allows fans to delve back into each scene if the story in a whole new way. When a craving for the world of Catching Fire strikes, tear off a piece of Mellark’s Cinnamon Bread or enjoy a bowl of Capitol Lamb Stew with Plum Dumplings and transport all of your senses back into the world of Panem.

RETURN TO DISTRICT 12 AND TOURING PANEM
“You’ve got to go through it to get to the end of it.”
GREASY SAE, CATCHING FIRE BY SUZANNE COLLINS, CHAPTER 1
WHEN PEETA AND KATNISS RETURN to District 12 as victors, they expected a better life. In some ways, they got it, but only for a very short time. Soon they had to leave again for yet another Hunger Games and District 12 wouldn’t be there when they returned.
