These cookbooks feature delicious delectables based on everything from "Harry Potter" and "Star Wars" to DC Superheroes and "World of Warcraft."

They aren't just sources for creating delicious meals and drinks, but a means of showing love and appreciation for taste, culture, and history. With the increasing prominence of geek culture, more and more people are interested in translating that same love into a tasty appreciation for their more eccentric or pop culture interests.

Here are 17 official and unofficial guides to cooking your geekiest entrees, desserts, and drinks.
