If you're a fan of both cooking and classic video games, 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 from a Pac-Man-themed cookbook, but authors Lisa Kingsley and Jennifer Peterson have truly delivered. This 160-page hardcover book is packed with over 60 delicious and easy-to-make recipes, perfect for enhancing your game nights or video game-themed watch parties celebrating the industry's biggest events.
While a Pac-Man cookbook might seem unconventional, the world of video game cookbooks is actually quite extensive. It's surprising it took this long for Pac-Man to join the culinary fray.

This game is inspired by the Secret Level episode titled "Circle." Our review of Secret Level gave it a 5 out of 10, noting that "[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."
