If you were to ask a group of gamers which video game world they want to live in, many would probably say Stardew Valley. Its relaxing farm sim gameplay and charming NPCs make it easy to rack up huge playtime counts. And with The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook, which released in May, fans can now recreate a part of the Stardew Valley experience in real life. The fittingly adorable hardcover book is on sale for $19.58 (was $28), which is 30% off list price.
Not only is it an official piece of Stardew Valley merch, but Eric Barone–aka “ConcernedApe,” the solo developer behind Stardew Valley–co-authored the cookbook along with Ryan Novak, who also wrote the Stardew Valley Guidebook and Hollow Knight Wanderer’s Journal.
The book includes over 50 recipes inspired by meals in the game like the Pink Cake, Farmer’s Lunch, Survival Burger, and Strange Bun. Much like the seasonal structure of Stardew Valley’s gameplay, the book’s recipes are organized by season, so you can try out new dishes that are perfect for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. The recipes are accompanied by photography and illustrations.
