If you're a fan of Pac-Man and enjoy culinary adventures, you'll be thrilled to know that Insight Editions' "Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook" is now available on Amazon. Initially, I was skeptical about the quality of recipes from a video game-themed cookbook, but authors Lisa Kingsley and Jennifer Peterson have truly delivered. This 160-page hardcover book contains over 60 delicious, easy-to-make recipes perfect for enhancing your game nights or video game-themed watch parties of the industry's biggest events.
While the concept of a Pac-Man cookbook might seem unusual, it's worth noting that there are already numerous video game cookbooks on the market. It's surprising it took this long for Pac-Man to join the fray.

The cookbook offers a diverse range of recipes, from healthy snacks to full family meals. Each recipe is accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions and vibrant full-color photographs that showcase the final dish. As expected, many recipes pay creative homage to Pac-Man's iconic imagery. You can create a pepperoni pizza in the shape of Pac-Man, transform Blinky into a hearty tomato soup, craft sweet cherry pocket pies, and even make eerily accurate Ghost cake pops. The smash burger recipe particularly caught my attention. For just $30, you can purchase "Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook" and elevate your cooking skills with fun, themed recipes.

In other Pac-Man news, the next game in the series, "Shadow Labyrinth," introduces a unique blend of Metroidvania elements with traditional Pac-Man gameplay. This game is inspired by the "Circle" episode from the "Secret Level" anthology, which received a 5 out of 10 rating in our review. We noted that "with a dubious selection of source material and indistinct styles of animation, Secret Level struggles to find satisfying stories for a short-form anthology."
