The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook

Short Review: BUY THIS! Also makes a great gift! Long Review: Like the game, this cookbook is truly a work of art that was made with so. much. love. The attention to detail is AMAZING & that feels like an understatement. I can’t even begin to imagine the work that went into developing this book & its recipes. You’ll find tips from the Queen of Sauce, commentary from the townspeople, a note from Grandpa, plenty of junimos & of course, a checklist from Mr. Qi to track your percentage lol. Reaching perfection is definitely a challenge!! These are real, detailed recipes with minimal shortcuts: no pre-made stocks, pie crusts or pizza dough, no store bought cocktail sauce or jello pudding mix. 1 example - the bread & bruschetta recipe includes the recipe to make homemade baguettes! Some of the ingredients are extremely specific & can be expensive or hard to find, especially if you live in the middle of nowhere like me lol. Some will have a substitute listed with it which is helpful. I love to cook & bake; I’ve come across ingredients in this book that I wasn’t familiar with, but that’s nothing a quick google search can’t fix! You can use Google to find substitutes for ingredients you aren’t able to obtain. All that being said, there are no rules. Like the game, there’s no right or wrong way (although some may argue Joja Mart is wrong lol). You can also have additions!! Just enjoy it & HAVE FUN! Buy a baguette from the store if you don’t have time to make bread, buy premade stock… if you don’t want to make Gus’s Famous Marinara Sauce for the Eggplant Parm - pick up a jar from the store! Buy beef burgers to cook for your Survival Burger, but still make the special sauce & toppings! Add sausage to your Complete Breakfast! Maybe some bacon for your Pepper Poppers! Don’t want to make the Peach Salsa for your Crab Cakes? Get a jar at the store! Finally, were you really expecting a cookbook filled with recipes that you can easily prepare right now because you have every item in your pantry? I surely wasn’t! For me, it exceeded my expectations & I would’ve been disappointed had they not provided us with extremely thoughtful & detailed recipes that all tie into the game & it’s characters. Even if you don’t cook/bake, if you’re a HUGE Stardew Valley fan, you need this just as a collectible. Some recipes are difficult yes, but by no means is this book useless! There are still recipes that are simple, less involved & good for beginners. I genuinely feel saddened for anyone not happy with this cookbook. It has brought me so much joy. Here’s a picture of the Blackberry Cobbler I made my friend for her birthday! She loved it!

Lovely illustrations, wonderful recipes that coincidence with the game. Such a nice cookbook. Bought as a gift for a fan of the game and they were super happy.

I’ve been cooking my way through many of the summer and fall recipes and everything I’ve tried has been really great! Some favorites so far are the survival burger, blueberry tart, and pumpkin pie. Every recipe has clever additions and techniques that make them really unique. The pumpkin pie recipe, for example, had the tastiest pie crust I’ve ever made, with chopped nuts for texture and sugar for flavor (not something I’ve seen in a pie crust recipe before). And the freshly roasted pumpkin gave the whole pie a very complex flavor. I also really like how the recipes are divided into seasons. I’ve been sticking to recipes from the current real life season and it has been easy to find seasonal produce at the grocery that might not be available year round. It also helps narrow down the choices for what to cook next, I’ve cooked more recipes from this cookbook than any other I own. I highly recommend it just for the quality recipes, the cute art and photography and stardew lore is just icing on top!

The book is a labor of love by the game creator and the artist / writer who obviously loves Stardew Valley as much as we do! The art is beautiful. The recipes match a lot of the ones in the game. That being said, the recipes aren't the most practical for the everyday person for everyday meals... But for a fan of the game who LOVES lore and little nods to their favorite video game, it's a HUGE hit. This was probably my favorite Christmas gift that I purchased for someone this year!

Made the omelet. Absolutely delicious. Almost as good tasting as an amethyst is to Abigail.

What a delightful cookbook! As a Stardew Valley fan, I’ve always loved collecting recipes in the game, and now I get to enjoy them in real life. The book strikes such a fun balance: stunning whimsical art, character notes, and in-world humor sit right alongside gorgeous food photography and practical recipes. From quirky favorites like Strange Buns to hearty staples like Salmon Dinner, every page feels like it’s straight out of Pelican Town. It’s not just a cookbook — it’s a cozy piece of Stardew magic for your kitchen. A must-have for fans and foodies alike!

The recipes in this book are delicious, the book is good quality, the art is beautiful. Everything compliments the game it was based on. As a long time player of Stardew Valley I am very happy with this purchase.

Love this book! Spent over 500 hours playing the game so all the little details in this book are amazing and really make it feel like it’s from the game! The recipes are explained well and easy to follow. Ive only tried a few so far but they are pretty dang tasty!

Dope love it, product bought and was exactly as advertised if not better 100% fairly priced

El libro de recetas de cocina de Stardew Valley es, sin duda, un regalo para los fans del videojuego. Desde el momento en que lo vi, me encantó por lo bonito que es. Las ilustraciones, la presentación y el diseño en general capturan perfectamente el espíritu acogedor y rústico del juego. Las recetas están bien organizadas y se presentan de manera clara y atractiva, lo que hace que incluso los cocineros novatos puedan probarlas sin dificultad. Es una verdadera joya visual que se destaca tanto en la cocina como en cualquier estante de libros. Sin embargo, hay un inconveniente que no puedo pasar por alto: el retraso en la entrega. Aunque realicé mi pedido mucho antes de la fecha de lanzamiento, el libro tardó casi dos meses en llegar. Este retraso fue frustrante, ya que esperaba disfrutar de las recetas mucho antes, especialmente con la emoción de tener un pedazo del universo Stardew Valley en mis manos. A pesar de la larga espera, una vez que llegó, no me decepcionó, pero el tiempo de espera fue sin duda un inconveniente. En resumen, el libro de recetas de Stardew Valley es absolutamente encantador y una gran adición para cualquier fan del juego o amante de la cocina. Si bien el retraso en el envío fue molesto, el producto en sí vale la pena por su diseño y contenido. Si no te importa esperar, definitivamente es un libro que te alegrará tener en tu colección.

La calidad del libro es increíble, esta hermoso el arte y las recetas no se ven tan complicadas, fue un regalo para mi pareja pero desde que lo abri para revisar que todo estuviera bien, se sentía la calidad, es de pasta dura y las paginas no son de papel delgado, vale la pena aunque si tienes la oportunidad de comprarlo en estados unidos que sale a 20 dlls estaria mejor, pero sino esta es la mejor opcion

Çok güzel

The cover and contents were so colourful and well designed. Most, if not all were true to the original dishes in the game. Throughout the book, certain characters from the game, would chip in, especially for their favourite dishes. Absolutely love the book and am looking forward to trying all the dishes!
