Whether you're a die-hard fan, searching for the perfect gift, or simply love themed recipes, here's our curated list of the best gaming cookbooks for 2025.

One of our top recommendations is The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook, which offers 50 recipes narrated by beloved in-game characters and adorned with charming artwork. These recipes are inspired by the meals you can prepare in the game, including Pink Cake, Strange Buns, and a hearty Autumn's Bounty to fuel your mining adventures.

For young chefs, particularly those inspired by A Minecraft Movie, the Minecraft cookbook is a fantastic choice, featuring over 40 recipes drawn from the game's diverse mobs and biomes. Similarly, The Pokémon Cookbook is perfect for quick snacks and fun meals that capture the essence of the Pokémon universe.

Beyond crafting-based games, themed cookbooks offer a delightful way to immerse yourself in fantastical worlds. The official Witcher cookbook draws from both the games and books, offering 80 recipes that range from refreshing drinks to lavish banquets. The Elder Scrolls cookbook focuses specifically on the world of Skyrim, while the Fallout cookbook lets you taste the iconic Nuka-Cola.

Upcoming Video Game Cookbooks

The trend of gaming cookbooks shows no signs of slowing down. Exciting upcoming releases include a cookbook inspired by Pac-Man, which remains somewhat mysterious, and one for Borderlands, likely tied to the promotions for Borderlands 4. As someone intrigued by Sojiro's curry from Persona 5, I'm eagerly awaiting the Persona-inspired cookbook set to launch later this year.
