Is the STARDEW VALLEY Cookbook any good?

[@TheJamsponge]

Just a disclaimer that if you're pretty much any kind of oral medication, you shouldn't ingest activated charcoal, it's *extremely* good at absorbing basically any substance in your digestive system so it can interfere with a wide range of medical treatments! Definitely look it up and if you're not sure, you can always substitute black food colouring or even squid ink like is used in the congee recipe!

[@elimejah]

thanks for the tip!! my medications are important and not knowing this would’ve been bad 😅 you’ve done a good thing here lol

[@distorteddivine3638]

Yup! Had this problem happen to my mom once with her meds because she heard activated charcoal was good for her from Facebook and decided to try it for a bit. Thankfully she only did it for a few days, felt ill after and stopped before asking her doctor if the charcoal was making her sick. There's a reason the stuff is used by poison control!

The idea of the void mayo being a very intense garlic mayo works so well, especially with the ingame text comparing its scent to burnt hair, that makes so much sense with a mayo that smells incredibly garlicky.

[@MisoHungrie]

So true! I didn't even realize that's what the in-game description said

[@3bdallaha.298]

Black garlic is much, much milder in the garlicky flavor and is sweet and has a flavor somewhat close to dark chocolate, like a hint of that flavor.

tbh I always imagined void mayo to be spicy, what else would those red dots be other than pepper flakes?

I'm really glad they didn't dumb this down. There are so many easy recipes out there, sometimes you want something more complex. And it's in the spirit of the game, as it's all about slow living. That's why JoJa Mart sells so much instant junk, to really highlight that contrast.

[@samanthasinger7235]

I actually went through the cookbook and compared the ingredients of each dish to the ingredients needed to make it in-game to see if they would include everything, and they almost all did! the only exceptions were either things that exist in SDV that don't exist in real life [e.g. 'Midnight Carp' is just carp], or more complicated recipes like Lucky Lunch, Strange Bun, and Seafoam Pudding. But even then, it was only ever just *one* ingredient or aspect that was clearly changed so things could taste good or are more easily accessible. for example, in-game the ingredients for Strange Bun are flour, void mayonnaise, and periwinkle (a type of sea snail). fully makes sense to sub lobster in for those, I didn't even know periwinkles were edible until I looked it up lol. extremely accurate, good-looking stuff, 10/10

Your videos are such a joy to watch! So laid back and relaxing, while also providing great solid feedback about the cookbooks you're reviewing. I've loved cooking, cookbooks, and cooking magazines since I was a kid, and it's always disappointing to find a media tie-in cookbook that hasn't put any thought or effort into its theming and recipes. I really appreciate how thoroughly you talk about all the elements of each book from presence or lack of pictures, to clarity of the cooking instructions, to how good the recipes actually taste, to how well the cookbook actually does the job of being a themed cookbook. I've never played SDV myself, but it sure sounds like a lot of care was put into making this cookbook a real love letter to the fans!

The pink cake is delicious, but came out a lot flatter than the picture in the book. (Not dense, i think they might have stacked more than two cakes.) I did use a nearly identical strawberry buttercream frosting recipe instead of the cream cheese frosting in the book. I don't like frosting enough to use an entire POUND of cream cheese. Tastes great fresh, even better 5-10 minutes after pulling a slice out of the freezer. Side note: i was shocked to learn that duck eggs are bigger than chicken eggs. I used XL chicken eggs because they were available.

It's true that many ingredients in this book can be hard to get or very expensive. As well, many recipes might not satisfy picky eaters and will be difficult to modify. I didn't find many of them to sound appetizing upon first read (this has to due with my aversion to specific vegetables from how they were poorly cooked when I ate them growing up), but this video has certainly made me want to step further out of my comfort zone to try them!

This cookbook is way more like something you'd get from food magazines than other licensed cookbooks. I have qualms with the inclusion of activated charcoal in the void mayo recipe, even if it's probably fine in that small of an amount, I don't think it was necessary to include if there was any risk at all, but that was probably my only issue with the whole book. The fruit salad recipe goes crazy. A lot of licensed cookbooks would just tell you to chop the stuff up and put it together, but they have you poach the apricots in wine with a vanilla bean.
