Insight Editions' latest release, *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 boasts over 60 delicious, easy-to-make recipes perfect for home cooks. It's the ideal companion for hosting game nights or video game-themed watch parties, especially during the industry's biggest events.
While a Pac-Man cookbook might seem unusual, it's worth noting that video game cookbooks are quite popular. It's surprising that 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 cookbook offers a diverse range of recipes, from healthy snacks to full family meals. Each recipe comes with easy-to-follow instructions and vibrant full-color photographs showcasing the final dishes. Many recipes cleverly reference Pac-Man's iconic elements. For instance, you can create a Pac-Man-shaped pepperoni pizza, transform Blinky into a hearty tomato soup, bake sweet cherry pocket pies, and craft eerily accurate Ghost cake pops. The smash burger recipe particularly caught my eye. Grab *Pac-Man: The Official Cookbook* now to enhance your cooking skills and try something new and exciting in the kitchen.

In other Pac-Man news, the next addition to the franchise is *Shadow Labyrinth*, which uniquely blends Metroidvania elements with traditional Pac-Man gameplay. It's inspired by the Secret Level episode titled "Circle." Our review of *Secret Level* gave it a rating of 5, noting, "[w]ith a dubious selection of source material and indistinct styles of animation, Secret Level struggles to find satisfying stories for a short-form anthology."
