Official Pac-Man Cookbook Released: Eat Like the Iconic Character

If you're a fan of Pac-Man and love culinary adventures, you're in for a treat with the newly released Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook by Insight Editions, now available on Amazon. Initially, like many, I approached the idea of a Pac-Man-themed cookbook with skepticism. However, authors Lisa Kingsley and Jennifer Peterson have truly outdone themselves. This 160-page hardcover gem offers over 60 delectable recipes that are not only easy to prepare but also perfect for enhancing your game nights or video game-themed watch parties.

While a Pac-Man cookbook might seem unusual, it's worth noting that the world of video game cookbooks is already quite extensive. It's surprising it took this long for Pac-Man to join the fray.

You can purchase Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook on Amazon for just $29.99.

Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook

This cookbook is packed with a diverse range of recipes, from quick, healthy snacks to hearty family meals. Each recipe is accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions and vibrant full-color photographs that showcase the final dish. As you might expect, many recipes playfully nod to Pac-Man's rich history. You can create a Pac-Man-shaped pepperoni pizza, transform Blinky into a delicious tomato soup, enjoy sweet cherry pocket pies, or even craft hauntingly accurate Ghost cake pops. The smash burger recipe particularly caught my eye. For just $30, you can elevate your culinary skills and explore new flavors with Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook.

In other Pac-Man news, the next addition to the iconic yellow character's gaming library is Shadow Labyrinth. This game offers a unique blend of Metroidvania elements with traditional Pac-Man gameplay, inspired by the Secret Level episode titled "Circle." Our review of Secret Level gave it a score of 5, 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."
