Author:Kristen Update:May 23,2025

Insight Editions' newly released Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook is now available on Amazon, and it might just surprise you. Initially, I was skeptical about the quality of recipes from a Pac-Man-themed cookbook, but authors Lisa Kingsley and Jennifer Peterson have truly delivered. This 160-page hardcover book boasts over 60 delicious and easy-to-make recipes, perfect for your next game night or video game-themed watch party. Whether you're hosting friends or enjoying a cozy night in, this cookbook is an excellent addition to any kitchen.

While the idea of a Pac-Man cookbook might seem unusual, it's actually part of a growing trend. There are numerous video game cookbooks already on the market, making it surprising that it took this long for Pac-Man to join the culinary fun.

You can purchase Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook on Amazon for just $29.99. The book offers a diverse range of recipes, from quick and healthy snacks to hearty family meals. Each recipe includes easy-to-follow instructions and vibrant full-color photos, showcasing the finished dishes. Many recipes creatively pay homage to Pac-Man's iconic imagery. Imagine crafting a Pac-Man-shaped pepperoni pizza, turning Blinky into a rich tomato soup, baking cherry pocket pies, or even creating spooky Ghost cake pops. Personally, the smash burger recipe caught my eye. Grab your copy of Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook today to enhance your cooking skills and introduce some fun, new dishes to your kitchen repertoire.

In other Pac-Man news, the next game in the series, Shadow Labyrinth, takes a unique approach by blending Metroidvania elements with traditional Pac-Man gameplay. It's inspired by the Secret Level episode titled "Circle." Our review of Secret Level gave it a score of 5 out of 10, noting, "With a dubious selection of source material and indistinct styles of animation, Secret Level struggles to find satisfying stories for a short-form anthology."
