Video games and cooking are a match made in heaven, more intertwined than you might initially think. From the comforting meals in Stardew Valley to the exotic dishes in The Witcher, the virtual world is brimming with culinary delights that many of us wish we could taste in real life. Fortunately, gaming cookbooks bridge that gap, allowing fans to recreate these dishes and dive deeper into the lore of their favorite games. While gathering ingredients might not be as thrilling as in-game quests or farming, the satisfaction of enjoying a themed meal is unparalleled. Whether you're a die-hard fan, searching for unique gift ideas, or simply love themed recipes, here's our curated list of the best gaming cookbooks for 2025.

Our top pick, The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook, offers 50 recipes narrated by beloved in-game characters, accompanied by charming artwork. These recipes, inspired by the game's culinary offerings, include favorites like Pink Cake, Strange Buns, and Autumn's Bounty, perfect for fueling your adventures in the mines.
For young chefs inspired by games like Minecraft, the Minecraft cookbook provides over 40 recipes drawn from the game's diverse mobs and biomes. Similarly, The Pokémon Cookbook focuses on delightful snacks and quick meals, ideal for Pokémon enthusiasts.
Beyond crafting games, themed cookbooks offer a delicious way to immerse yourself in fantasy worlds. The Witcher Official Cookbook draws from both the games and books, featuring 80 recipes ranging from refreshing beverages to lavish banquets. The Elder Scrolls cookbook zeroes in on the culinary delights of Skyrim, while the Fallout cookbook lets you taste the iconic Nuka-Cola.

For tabletop gamers, the Heroes' Feast Dungeons & Dragons cookbook is a must-have, offering exquisite recipes to impress your gaming party, along with new lore and stunning artwork for dedicated fans.
The trend of gaming cookbooks shows no signs of slowing down. Exciting upcoming releases include a Pac-Man inspired cookbook, which remains a bit of a mystery, and a Borderlands cookbook, likely tied to the promotions for Borderlands 4. As a fan of Persona 5, I'm eagerly anticipating the Persona cookbook, especially to try Sojiro's famous curry.
