"Stardew Valley Cookbook: Cozy Gift Under $20"

Author : Penelope Update : May 25,2025

I've spent countless hours building my cozy little farm in Stardew Valley, and while managing a farm feels like a full-time job, I always make time to cook every character's favorite dishes. The recipes in Stardew Valley are delightfully simple, yet the pixelated results always look so appetizing. I've often imagined the taste of each dish while preparing them in-game, but the idea of bringing these recipes to life in my kitchen never crossed my mind until I discovered the Stardew Valley cookbook.

The official cookbook, a collaboration with the game's creator ConcernedApe (Eric Barone), is a dream come true for fans like me who adore both Stardew Valley and cooking. It's at the top of my gift wishlist for 2025.

The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook - On Sale Now

The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook

Originally released in May 2024, the Official Stardew Valley Cookbook has been on the market for nearly a year now, and I only recently learned of its existence. Thankfully, this delay means it's currently available at its lowest price ever on Amazon, at just under $20. This makes it one of the most affordable gifts for any Stardew Valley enthusiast, aside from the game itself.

The cookbook features 50 recipes inspired by the in-game meals, organized by season to ensure you're cooking with the freshest ingredients. It's filled with original illustrations and recipes narrated in the voices of various game characters. For a sneak peek at what's inside, check out the slideshow below.

While the Stardew Valley cookbook is my top pick, the market for video game cookbooks is booming. You can find cookbooks inspired by other popular games like Elder Scrolls, The Witcher, Fallout, and even Minecraft. Additionally, you can preorder upcoming cookbooks for Pac-Man and Borderlands, both set to release in 2025. This genre is clearly thriving.
