Eat Like Pac-Man With the Official Cookbook, Out Now

Insight Editions' Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook is now available for purchase on Amazon. Initially, I was skeptical about the quality of recipes from a Pac-Man-themed cookbook, but authors Lisa Kingsley and Jennifer Peterson have truly delivered. This 160-page hardcover book offers over 60 delicious recipes that are easy to prepare at home, making it an ideal companion for game nights or video game-themed watch parties of major industry events.

Though the concept of a Pac-Man cookbook might seem unusual, the market is already filled with numerous video game cookbooks. It's surprising that it took this long for Pac-Man to join the culinary fray.

Priced at $29.99 on Amazon, the cookbook boasts a wide range of recipes, from healthy snacks to full family meals. Each recipe comes with easy-to-follow instructions and vibrant full-color photographs that showcase the finished dishes. As expected, many recipes are creatively inspired by Pac-Man's iconic imagery. You can craft a pepperoni pizza in the shape of Pac-Man, transform Blinky into a hearty tomato soup, create sweet cherry pocket pies, and even make ghost-themed cake pops. The smash burger recipe particularly caught my eye. For just $30, you can elevate your cooking skills and experiment with new recipes in the kitchen with Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook.
