I've spent countless hours tending to my virtual farm in Stardew Valley, and while managing crops and animals is a full-time task, I always make time to cook favorite dishes for the game's characters. The in-game recipes are simple, yet their pixelated charm always looks delicious. I've often wondered how these dishes would taste in real life, and discovering the Stardew Valley cookbook brought that dream closer to reality.
Developed with input from the game's creator, ConcernedApe (Eric Barone), this official cookbook is a must-have for fans who love both Stardew Valley and cooking. It’s now at the top of my 2025 gift list.
Released in May 2024, The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook has been available for nearly a year, and I only recently learned about it. Now, it’s at its lowest price ever on Amazon, making it an affordable gift for any Stardew Valley enthusiast at just under $20—second only to the game itself in value.
This cookbook features 50 recipes inspired by the game’s dishes, organized by season to match the freshest ingredients. It includes original illustrations and recipes written in the voices of beloved in-game characters. Check out a preview of its contents in the slideshow below.

While the Stardew Valley cookbook is my top pick, there’s a growing collection of video game-inspired cookbooks available. Fans can find options for Elder Scrolls, The Witcher, Fallout, and Minecraft. Preorders are also open for upcoming 2025 releases, including cookbooks for Pac-Man and Borderlands, showcasing a vibrant genre that’s gaining popularity.
