Give thanks to Yoba, farming fans, for The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook has now launched!

Coming from Penguin Random House, with text by game-creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone and guidebook-author Ryan Novak, and illustrations by the game's and guidebook's official artist Kari Fry, the book contains scores of real-world recipes (pescetarian, vegetarian, and vegan, matching the game) straight from the game's characters - both the residents of Pelican Town, and TV personality The Queen of Sauce.

A sample recipe, the Lucky Lunch, can be found on the book's official website, and e-book customers in the US and Canada can get a preview copy of the Pink Cake recipe by providing proof of pre-order for a limited time (offer ends May 21st, 2024).

An immersive cookbook based on the farming, foraging, and community role-playing video game, The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook celebrates seasonal ingredients through unique recipes inspired by the game. Cook your way through the seasons!

  • In Spring, enjoy a delicious Complete Breakfast made with fresh early spring rhubarb, followed by a filling Farmer’s Lunch.

  • In Summer, snack on tasty Crab Cakes and, as a dessert, the almost unanimously adored Pink Cake.

  • In Fall, cozy up with some Pumpkin Soup and the Survival Burger.

  • In Winter, warm up with the seasonal Roots Platter, Seafoam Pudding, or the ever-odd Strange Bun!

    With over fifty mouthwatering recipes accompanied by vibrant photography and original illustrations, The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook is an invaluable addition to finding your sense of belonging in Stardew Valley.

It looks it, and I'm really glad that they put some official photographs online!

I really wanted to do my own photos for this piece, but Amazon UK didn't have enough copies to cover their pre-orders, so I won't get mine for at least a few weeks.

I've already got a copy on the way! That game has been such a big thing in my family that I didn't even have to think about it once pre-orders opened. Is it a little overpriced? Probably. Will it still worth it anyway? I'm almost positive it will be!

I pre-ordered from Barnes & Noble, and it appears my copy has shipped already. Not sure if it would be worth getting it through them or not, I don't know how Amazon handles order cancellations.

Edit: Never mind, I just realized you said Amazon UK. I doubt B&N has any better shipping options there.

Maybe _now_ my 7yo will eat his vegetables, cause cooking and eating is all he does in the game itself :D

Can we expect pics when you guys cook something from it?
I was going to complain there was no starfruit in the recipe for Lucky Lunch, only to check the wiki and discover there isn't in the game either. (It's just Sea Cucumber, Tortilla, and Blue Jazz.) I think the in-game icon was throwing me off.

…I have a sudden hankering for starfruit now.
