If you're a fan of the iconic yellow arcade character, you'll be thrilled to know that Insight Editions' Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook is now available on Amazon. Initially, I was skeptical about the quality of recipes in a Pac-Man-themed cookbook, but authors Lisa Kingsley and Jennifer Peterson have truly delivered. This 160-page hardcover book offers over 60 delicious recipes that are simple to prepare at home. It's the ideal companion for hosting game nights or video game-themed watch parties during major industry events.
While the concept of a Pac-Man cookbook might seem unusual, there's actually a growing trend of video game cookbooks. It's surprising it took this long for Pac-Man to join the culinary fray.
You can purchase Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook on Amazon for just $29.99. This book is packed with a diverse selection of recipes, ranging from healthy snacks to hearty family meals. Each recipe includes straightforward instructions and vibrant full-color photos that showcase the final dish. As you might expect, many recipes playfully reference Pac-Man's rich history. You can create a Pac-Man-shaped pepperoni pizza, transform Blinky into a delicious tomato soup, bake sweet cherry pocket pies, or craft spooky Ghost cake pops. The smash burger recipe particularly caught my eye. For $30, you can elevate your cooking skills and experiment with new dishes in your kitchen.

We rated Secret Level a 5 out of 10, noting in our review that, "With a dubious selection of source material and indistinct styles of animation, Secret Level struggles to find satisfying stories for a short-form anthology."
