Rootleaf stew/Legends

"Eat, eat. Hot. Good food, hmm?"

―Yoda, while serving Luke Skywalker rootleaf stew

Yoda prepared Rootleaf stew the evening that he met Luke Skywalker.

Behind the scenes

In an unusual promotional campaign for the Empire Strikes Back radio dramatization, National Public Radio hired Craig Claiborne, a renowned chef and food critic, to create a version of rootleaf stew that could be made with ingredients originating from Earth. The recipe was published in newspapers and magazines across the United States.
