Chef and her book
Cookin' With Trolls is Bergen cookbook for food recipes involving Trolls seen in Trolls.
About[]
The book first appears in Trolls, and is a decently-sized cookbook filled with various recipes and dishes on cooking Trolls. It was written by the Bergen Chef. It was shown when Chef takes her prisoners, members of The Snack Pack, to her kitchen to show them their possible fates. The book's seen recipes are quite gruesome, all featuring multiple Trolls being killed either just before or midway in the cooking process, some in quite painful ways.
Another note is that the book was made in just a few years according to the BroZone related events of Trolls Band Together, making the creation of the book quite horrorific as she experimented with a large number of Trolls in a very short amount of years.
It's shown in the Trolls: TrollsTopia episode "Bygone Bergen" that Barnald owns a copy of the book.
Recipes[]
Though the book had a decent size, only 6 recipes could be seen from the pages that Chef had shown. Below are the contents seen for each recipe.
Troll Slaw - Appetizers[]
"Troll Slaw" is a pun on "Coleslaw".
- Ingredients
- 9 Trolls, shreaded
- 2 pounds of green cabbage
- 1 Teaspoon of Caraway seeds
- 3 cups of mayonise
- 2 Tablespoons of white vinager
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 carrots, grated (1 cup)
- Directions
In a large bowl, toss Trolls with 1 tbsp of salt. Cover with ice water; refrigerate for 1 hour. This will preserve their color.
Drain the chilled Trolls, then squeeze them in a towel to absorb any access water. While simple, this is the most important step. The dressing will coat much better to a dry Troll.
Return it to the large bowl. Stir in carrots and toasted caraway seeds. Add dressing and stir well; serve cold.
Filet of Troll - Main Courses[]
"Filet of Troll" is a pun on filet-O-Fish.
- Ingredients
- 6 lbs filet of Trolls, trimmed and tied
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tbsp salt
- 3 tbsp pepper
- Directions
Preheat the oven to 451 degrees F. Place the Trolls on a sheet pan and pat them down. Use your hands to spread the butter over them. If they laugh, don't be alarmed. Trolls are ticklish by nature. Sprinkle the salt and pepper, evenly.
Roast in the oven for exactly 24 minutes. Remove the trolls from the oven, cover them lightly with aluminum foil, and allow them to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Remove the strings and slice the filet of trolls quickly.

Jellied Cassertroll - Desserts[]
"Cassertroll" is a pun on "Casserole".
- Ingredients
- 1 box of gelatin mix
- 12-17 Trolls
- 16 oz of sour cream
- 8 oz whipped topping
- 2 cups boiling water
- Directions
Dissolve gelatin mixture in boiling water for 2 minutes. Add Trolls, chopped. Blend mixture with a hand mixer until the Trolls and gelatin have adequately mixed. Place in the fridge for 2-3 hours, or until the gelatin mixture sets half way.
Lightly fold in the sour cream and whipped topping. Pour the entire mixture into a mold of your choice. This is where you get creative! Troll Hair molds, Trollstice molds, a mold for every occasion!
Fruity Troll Roll - Dessert Dishes[]
- Directions
Mix all the ingredients except chocolate in a large bowl. Stir thoroughly and place on a foil covered tray. Refrigerate until needed.
Form into two logs, using greased hands. If Troll hair potrudes from log, don't worry. This is great for presentation and adds a bit of color to the dish!
Melt chocolate while logs chill. Once melted, pour over logs. You may notice a few shouts or screams when you begin pouring the chocolate. This lets you know the chocolate is the perfect temperature! Chill the logs in the fridge.
Slice with a serrated knife to serve.
Trivia[]
- For Chef to have as many recipes as shown in the book, she would have had to test different ways to prepare the Trolls. It's likely that she experimented with a large number of Trolls over time with successes and failures. Some recipes in particular require several Trolls involved to complete them. It's unknown how many Trolls were sacrificed, however. For some recipes, the number was likely pretty high in relation to the Trolls' known population; just Trollsaw alone requires 9 shredded Trolls to meet the requirements.
- While only a handful of recipes are shown, the book contains more than 20 leaves. Save introduction pages, this means that many more recipes were not shown onscreen. Providing the number of countable leaves represents two pages with recipes each, there's at least 16 more recipes in the book, which would have each represented at least one Troll sacrificed for it.
- As a rough estimate of two recipes per leaf and one Troll per recipe, in addition to providing each recipe had only been completed only once, over 50 minimum Trolls would have been sacrificed to complete her book. If experimentation had occurred, then the number would have been at least double or triple that number, if not more than all of these numbers.
- The only times Bergens were seen eating Trolls, the Trolls were directly eaten alive without preparation or cooking. Even when Creek was put in a taco, no preparations were made to him, and initially King Gristle Jr. was going to eat him unprepared. This makes the book's existence unnecessary for the Bergen population in general.
- It's likely that the cookbook was referenced in the Trolls: TrollsTopia episode "Bygone Bergen" with the similarly-named book "Cookin' Trolls" (whose title may have been a writing error in such case).
