If you're a fan of Pac-Man and culinary adventures, you'll be thrilled to know that Insight Editions' Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook is now available on Amazon. Initially, I was skeptical about the quality of recipes from a themed cookbook like this, but authors Lisa Kingsley and Jennifer Peterson have truly delivered. The 160-page hardcover book contains over 60 mouthwatering recipes that are not only delicious but also easy to prepare at home. This cookbook is the ultimate companion for hosting game nights or video game-themed watch parties, especially during the industry's biggest events.
While the idea of a Pac-Man-themed cookbook might seem unusual, the world of video game cookbooks is actually quite extensive. It's surprising it took this long for Pac-Man to join the fray.
You can get Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook on Amazon for $29.99. The book offers a diverse range of recipes, from healthy snacks to full family meals. Each recipe is accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions and vibrant full-color photographs that showcase the final dish. Many of the recipes creatively pay homage to Pac-Man's iconic elements. You can create a Pac-Man-shaped pepperoni pizza, transform Blinky into a hearty tomato soup, enjoy sweet cherry pocket pies, and even craft eerily accurate Ghost cake pops. The smash burger recipe particularly caught my attention. For just $30, you can elevate your cooking game and experiment with new dishes in your kitchen.
Here's a sneak peek at some of the recipes from Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook:

In other Pac-Man news, the next addition to the yellow blob's video game library is Shadow Labyrinth. This game combines elements of the Metroidvania genre with traditional Pac-Man mechanics, drawing inspiration from the Secret Level episode titled "Circle." Our review of Secret Level gave it a 5 out of 10, noting, "[w]ith a dubious selection of source material and indistinct styles of animation, Secret Level struggles to find satisfying stories for a short-form anthology."
