Bring your favorite video game foods to life—spanning the ’80s to present day—with easy recipes for game nights, themed parties, and just for fun!

If you’ve ever stopped in the middle of a quest because the on-screen food looked too good to be true, prepare yourself—they’re not just pixels anymore. In The Video Game Chef, Cassandra Reeder (aka the Geeky Chef) has perfectly re-created favorite health boosts, level-ups, cooking challenges, and more, compiling 76 recipes from popular and cult video games from the 1980s to the present day for gamers of all ages, including:

The Legend of Zelda’s Red Potion
Streets of Rage 2’s Trash Can Chicken
Resident Evil’s Jill Sandwich
Silent Hill 2’s Butter Cake
World of Warcraft’s Smoked Desert Dumplings
Cooking Mama’s Spaghetti Neapolitan
Minecraft’s Suspicious Stew
Final Fantasy XV’s Kenny’s Original Recipe
Genshin Impact’s Sticky Honey Roast
And much more!

Along with the easy-to-make and delicious recipes are stunning video game–style food illustrations and recipe notes that are chock-full of fun and fascinating information about the foods and the games, allowing The Video Game Chef to immerse you in your favorite fantastical worlds while satisfying your appetite.
