Eat Like Pac-Man With the Official Cookbook, Out Now
Insight Editions’ Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook is out now and available on Amazon. Like you probably are right now, I was a bit skeptical about how good the recipes could be from a Pac-Man-themed cookbook, but authors Lisa Kingsley and Jennifer Peterson — wait for it — cooked. The 160-page hardcover book features over 60 delicious recipes that are easy to make in the comfort of your own home. This is the perfect companion for when you’re hosting a game night or having a video game-themed watch party of the industry’s biggest events.
While this latest cookbook may seem a bit strange, there are actually a lot of video game cookbooks already out there. It’s actually surprising it took this long for Pac-Man to get in on the action.

It’s filled with a wide variety of recipes, from healthy quick bites to full meals for the family. Each recipe comes complete with easy-to-follow instructions and crisp full-color photographs to show off the finished product. As you’d expect, many of them are fun and creative nods to Pac-Man’s long history. You can make a pepperoni pizza in the iconic shape of Pac-Man, turn Blinky into a hearty tomato soup, whip up some sweet cherry pocket pies, and even make eerily accurate Ghost cake pops. Personally, the smash burger recipe has my attention. Pick up Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook now for just $30 to level up your cooking skills and try something new in the kitchen.
In other Pac-Man related news, the next entry into the yellow blob’s video game library is Shadow Labyrinth, a bizarre take on both the Metroidvania genre and traditional Pac-Man mechanics, based on the Secret Level episode titled Circle. We gave Secret Level a 5 overall, and in our review said “[w]ith a dubious selection of source material and indistinct styles of animation, Secret Level struggles to find satisfying stories for a short-form anthology.”
