Silent Hill 2’s Butter Cake
World of Warcraft’s Smoked Desert Dumplings
Cooking Mama’s Spaghetti Neapolitan

And much more!
Along with the easy-to-make and delicious recipes are stunning video game–style food illustrations and recipe notes that are chock-full of fun and fascinating information about the foods and the games, allowing The Video Game Chef to immerse you in your favorite fantastical worlds while satisfying your appetite.
