Warning: Spoilers everywhere!
Season 2 episode 7: A Man Without Honor
   Jon and Ygritte's meet-cute.
   You know nothing, Jon Snow.
Season 3, episode 6: The Climb
   Because I'll cut your pretty cock right off and wear it round me neck.
Season 4, episode 9: The Watchers On The Wall
   We never should have left that cave.
Before Jon Snow danced with dragon fire, there was Ygritte - a red haired, fiery tempered warrior woman, a killer shot with a bow and arrow, an outdoorsy girl with a love of ice wall climbing and natural hot springs, a true Wildling of the North, our favorite Game of Thrones spice girl. The moment Jon and Ygritte meet, sparks begin to fly - apparently on and off screen (congratulations to recently married Kit Harrington and Rose Leslie.) She's a perfect first love for our Jon Snow - she's independent, she's smart, and while we wouldn't say she has a heart of gold, at least she didn't kill him, which is good enough. Her words "You know nothing, Jon Snow" are pretty spot on even, especially, at the end of season 7. We miss you, Ygritte - you were a great first girlfriend, and deserved way better than death by Olly (but so did Jon Snow. Spoiler, sorry.) 

So this week, we shoot a flaming arrow into the air for Ygritte, a woman of the Free Folk, North of the Wall and Jon Snow's first love with our sweet and spicy recipe for Extra Extra Gingery Muffins.

Ser Jorah, owner of a lonely heart? YES.
Season 4, Episode 8: The Mountain and The Viper
Picture
Ser Jorah just can't quit Daenerys of House Targaryen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Mother of Dragons, the Unburnt, Breaker of Chains. We watch him return again and again,  back to Dany's side until she has no choice but to accept him back into her service. Devoted and doomed to unrequited love, in perpetuity. What does perpetuity mean? For fucking ever, that's what it means. Greyscale can't stop him, a parade of young lovers can't stop him, not even white walkers can keep Jorah from his Queen. He stands by her, watching her love other, lesser, men from deep inside the friend zone, none (okay, maybe one) equal to his singular devotion.  This week, we honor the pure heart of Ser Jorah Mormont with our own recipe for hearts deliciously scorched and split in two: Grilled Artichokes with Garlic and Lemon.

Farro, Mushroom and Lentil Soup

Samwell Tarly gets a dose of...reality.
Season 7, Episode 1: Dragonstone

If Sam Tarly could tweet to the world, it would read "My best friend was just killed, my dad kicked me out, and now I'm scrubbing sh*t at the Citadel. FML." (FML meaning Fuck My Life, according to the twitter-verse.) Sam Tarly has finally landed at The Citadel, studying to be a Maester - dream come true! But it's not as glamorous as it sounds - he's apparently trapped in an endless loop of chamber pots and soup pots. Poops and soups all day, every day. FML indeed, Sam.

The cooks at the Citadel don't seem very concerned about good food, but a good mushroom soup can be quite delicious even if it's not very pretty to look at. FML doesn't have to be bad if it happens to be a bowl full of farro, mushroom & lentils. (See what I did there?)

"Lemon cakes are my favorite."
Season 3, Episode 2: Dark Wings, Dark Words 
Season 4, Episode 5: First of His Name

Oh Sansa, you sweet summer child. Lemon cakes are just one of many exotic things Sansa falls in love with during her time in the south, and definitely the only thing from King's Landing that was actually sweet. Google 'Sansa lemon cakes' and a bazillion different recipes pop up. Cupcakes, tea cakes, cocktails, topped with candied lemon, topped with icing, topped with curd - it's probably the most popular recipe idea for Game of Thrones. There is even an 'official' Sansa's Lemon Cakes recipe, commissioned by HBO. Friends, this is not that recipe.

"I'm the three-eyed raven now."
Season 7, Episode 7: The Dragon and The Wolf

Since that fall out of the tower back in episode 1, little Bran Stark has been on a journey up north, down a cave, in the skies, to the past and quite possibly to the future as well.  That's a lot weirdness even for Westeros, but our Bran is handling it in stride. Mostly. He may be a bit freaky now, but we know that somewhere deep beneath the toasted nuttiness is the sweet young Bran we remember from the very beginning.
