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, The Geeky Bartender Drinks, and The Video Game Chef. When not conjuring up recipes for fictional food, Cassandra can be found perusing the food carts in Portland, Oregon, with her husband and two tiny geeks.
