- "Hosnian Prime used to have these lovely hangin' gardens that served as a serene spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of Republic City. This traditional Hosnian dish is made from exotic greens that were once cultivated in those gardens."
- ―Strono Tuggs, The Ultimate Cookbook
Hosnian Herbage was a simple and traditional vegetarian side dish from the Core Worlds planet Hosnian Prime that was made with exotic greens that grew in the various hanging gardens that served as serene getaway spots from the world's busy Republic City. After Hosnian Prime was destroyed by the First Order[1] in 34 ABY,[2] the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe for Hosnian Herbage in this third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which he had published[1] in 35 ABY[3] following a culinary tour of the galaxy. He claimed in the book that serving the dish was a nice way to hang onto the memory of the lost world.[1]
Behind the scenes
Hosnian Herbage were created as a recipe for the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The out-of-universe recipe for the rolls makes use of vegetable oil, minced garlic cloves, minced, fresh ginger, halved baby bok choy, tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, Chinese Five Spice, and black pepper.[1]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook establishes that the publishing of the in-universe The Ultimate Cookbook and the culinary tour that preceded it occurred following the publishing of The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook and prior to the destruction of Kijimi. It also establishes that The Ultimate Cookbook was published following the Festival of the Ancestors that occurred during that time period. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook further establishes that The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook was published concurrently with the First Order's search for the Resistance base on Batuu, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. In addition, Timelines dates the Festival of the Ancestors and the destruction of Kijimi to 35 ABY, meaning the tour must have taken place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY and The Ultimate Cookbook must have been published in 35 ABY.
