Updated on:

Characters from The Elder Scrolls, Kiki's Delivery Service and Avatar: The Last Airbender eat and cook food.

Have you ever watched a favorite show where they cook and eat then all of a sudden your mouth starts to water? Perhaps you are ready to level cooking in your favorite game and simply must know the recipe your character is making. It happens to us all the time. There is a buffet of fandom cookbooks out there and Geek Girl Authority has combined powers to share some of our favorites. These books are great for watch parties, game nights, holiday cooking and they even make great gifts.

Journey through all four nations with the official Avatar: The Last Airbender Cookbook! With 60 recipes from veggie dishes inspired by the Air Nomads to seafood from the Water Tribes, there’s something for every fan. The book isn’t meant for newbie cooks, and you may need to search for some ingredients, but there are tips for adapting dishes for specific diets. My favorite section, of course, is Uncle Iroh’s – he has great blurbs commenting on his recipes! – Alex Faccibene

I’m not much of a cook, but neither are the Roses. Thankfully, the Tastes Like Schitt Cookbook exists! Not only does it teach you to fold in the cheese, but it also has recipes from the Café Tropical, and even tells you how to make a Herb Ertlinger’s Wine Spritzer. If you’ve ever wondered what a “peanut butter thing” is, this is the cookbook for you. Best wishes and warmest regards! – Alex Faccibene

The Elder Scrolls: The Official Cookbook

Did someone take your sweet roll? Well, now you can make your own with this official cookbook filled with recipes inspired by The Elder Scrolls. It is a beautiful book and a delight to read through. Each recipe has a difficulty rating so you don’t bite off more than you can chew. Yes, you can even make Skooma but be careful with that stuff (the secret ingredient is vodka). This cookbook is the perfect addition to any cozy kitchen, especially for an Elder Scrolls fan. As a longtime fan myself, I use this cookbook often and the recipes always turn out amazing. From Elsweyr Fondue to Horker Loaf, this cookbook offers the best tastes of Tamriel. – Cassie Holguin

For some Dungeons and Dragons delectables, try some dishes from Heroes Feast: The Official D&D Cookbook. Become a more adventurous chef with recipes from iconic D&D races including human, elvish, dwarven and more. Impress your friends at game night with some Drow Mushroom Steaks. Some Traveller’s Stew may just be the thing to fight off that oncoming cold. As a bonus, Heroes Feast is filled with beautiful artwork by Conceptopolis. My friends and I prepared some recipes from this book for one of our Dungeons and Dragons sessions and it was a lot of fun. – Cassie Holguin

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook

Center is the Star Wars cookbook with a delicious looking dish on either side.

I haven’t been to the new Star Wars land that opened in the Disney Parks so the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook gives me a little taste (literally) of it at home. My family has picked out a few recipes to try every year to celebrate May the 4th since the book’s release. Some of the ingredients can be difficult to find at our local grocery store, but when you are trying to cook food from a galaxy far, far away some uncommon ingredients are part of the fun! We love the the Ronto Wraps, Spicy Mandalorian Stew and especially the Fried Endorian Tip Yip. – Lauren Darnell

The Feast of Fiction Kitchen: Recipes Inspired by TV, Movies, Games & Books

Center is Feast of Fiction Cookbook with a delicious looking dish on either side.

If you can’t decide which fandom cookbook to invest in first, then the Feast of Fiction Kitchen cookbook is the perfect middle ground. The recipes vary in skill level and the photos in this book almost allow it to double as an art book. The authors, Jimmy Wong and Ashley Adams, are the hosts of a YouTube cooking show that makes fictional food from various types of media like cartoons, anime, sitcoms and movies. This mixed media approach is present in their cookbook as well, including recipes from fan-favorite shows like Steven UniverseMulan, Food Wars and more. I’ve been working up the nerve to attempt the Herring Pie from Kiki’s Delivery Service to feed my inner child. – Lauren Darnell
