Craig Claiborne

Craig Claiborne was a restaurant critic and food writer. In 1983, to promote the radio drama The Empire Strikes Back, National Public Radio solicited Claiborne to create "Yoda's Incredible Herb Stew," his interpretation of the rootleaf stew that Yoda served Luke Skywalker in his hut on Dagobah. The recipe was printed in newspapers around the United States. Its main ingredients are lamb, spinach, parsley, onions, and a lot of seasonings. The end result looks rather swampy but its taste is most reminiscent of Indian cuisine.
