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

by Sarah May 02,2025

I've spent countless hours building my dream farm in Stardew Valley, and while managing a virtual farm is a full-time job in itself, I always make time to cook up the favorite dishes for every character. The recipes in Stardew Valley are delightfully simple, yet the pixelated dishes always look tempting to me. As I cook them in-game, I often find myself imagining their flavors. But it wasn't until I discovered the Stardew Valley cookbook that I considered bringing these recipes to life in my own kitchen.

The official cookbook, a collaboration with the game's creator ConcernedApe (Eric Barone), has become a must-have on my gift wishlist for 2025. As a fan of both Stardew Valley and cooking, this book is a perfect blend of my passions.
