The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook Is the Coziest Gift You Can Get for Under $20

May 17,25

As a devoted fan of Stardew Valley, I've poured countless hours into cultivating my virtual farm, nurturing crops, and crafting the perfect dishes for every character. The simplicity of the game's recipes never ceases to amaze me, and their pixelated presentations always manage to look tantalizing. While cooking in the game, I often find myself daydreaming about the flavors of each dish. However, it wasn't until I discovered the Stardew Valley cookbook that I seriously considered bringing these virtual recipes to life in my own kitchen.

The official cookbook, a collaboration with the game's creator ConcernedApe (Eric Barone), is a dream come true for fans like me who are passionate about both Stardew Valley and cooking. It's now at the top of my wishlist for 2025, and I can't wait to dive into its pages.

The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook

The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook hit the shelves in May 2024, and it's taken me almost a year to discover its existence. Fortunately, this delay has its perks; the cookbook is currently available at its lowest price ever on Amazon, at just under $20. This makes it an incredibly affordable gift for any Stardew Valley enthusiast—perhaps even more so than the game itself.

This culinary gem features 50 recipes inspired directly by the in-game meals. Much like the game, the cookbook is organized by season, allowing you to cook each dish when its ingredients are at their freshest. It's filled with charming original illustrations and recipes narrated in the unique voices of the game's characters. To give you a taste of what to expect, check out the preview slideshow below.

While the Stardew Valley cookbook holds a special place in my heart, the world of video game cookbooks is flourishing with many other exciting options. You can find culinary inspiration from titles like Elder Scrolls, The Witcher, Fallout, and even Minecraft. Additionally, you can pre-order cookbooks for Pac-Man and Borderlands, both set to release in 2025. This genre is truly thriving, offering something for every gaming and food enthusiast.
