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

Insight Editions' Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook is now available on Amazon. Much like you right now, I was initially skeptical about the quality of recipes in a Pac-Man-themed cookbook, but authors Lisa Kingsley and Jennifer Peterson — wait for it — nailed it. This 160-page hardcover edition includes over 60 delicious, easy-to-make recipes perfect for cooking at home. It serves as an ideal companion for game nights or video game-themed watch parties of the industry's biggest events.

While this latest release may seem unusual, there is actually a lot of video game cookbooks already on the market. It is surprising that it took this long for Pac-Man to enter the scene.

The book features a wide variety of recipes, ranging from healthy quick bites to full family meals. Each recipe includes easy-to-follow instructions and crisp, full-color photographs showcasing the finished dishes. As expected, many are fun, creative nods to Pac-Man's long history. You can craft a pepperoni pizza in the iconic shape of Pac-Man, transform Blinky into a hearty tomato soup, whip up sweet cherry pocket pies, and even make eerily accurate Ghost cake pops. Personally, I am drawn to the smash burger recipe. Grab Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook now for just $30 to elevate your cooking skills and try something new in the kitchen.

We rated Secret Level 5 overall, noting in our review that "[w]ith a dubious selection of source material and indistinct animation styles, Secret Level struggles to find satisfying stories for a short-form anthology."
