What about Starfield? Personally I'd love to know how to make Boom Pop! Black Licorice or Rhubarb maybe with strawberry or imitation chunks or Pizza Squares

cookbook? For 95% of the game's food, its just going to say which heavily processed frozen food item or fast food junk to buy. Just playing this thing makes me not want to eat for days.

It would be cool to know how to do the exotic drinks, but you need special equipment (like that old sodastream thing that made carbonated water) to do sodas, after that its just flavoring -- you can get anise powder / flavoring for candy, foods, etc easily.

Meh, in Fallout you eat cockroaches and irradiated rodents yet neither of those made it into the cookbook. Pretty sure all the alien bugs wouldn't make the cut either.

Can heat leeches cook themselves?

We don't had any alien plant or alien animal here, beside, there is few Earth food in game that you don't need it because it's kind of common food cooked. Don't need cookbook from this game, as it's nothing special other than alien plant and animal.

Meatloaf, google it, sandwich, I don't even need cookbook for that.

Do they really need a cookbook for chunks cubes? No need, they probably saw my wife's cooking and that gave them the idea. That's why I do the cooking in my house.

Seriously though - a lot of space food was in small cube form in the early days right up to the Shuttle. Apollo had more variation. Food packets, and some of them required adding water using an actual water gun to make them edible.
In fact, I remember seeing the menu for Apollo 11, and remember seeing Bacon cubes. I fancied trying them myself.

In Fallout, you can actually eat other people too.

But here's the problem.

The recipes will be created based on something that already exists in-game.
Whoever they hire to create the recipes will be constrained by how the food items look like in-game.

It's one of the few that could be made in a lot of ways. It could just be a giant "Fondant Fancy". Cake middle with icing with the Chunks logo impressed in the top. Obviously wouldn't be representative of what it is in-game.
It's an overprocessed cube of "Jelly" squished together into a cube shape with some flavouring in it. It would make Mcdonalds and other fast food chains look healthy....

I can see it now:
Terrormorph burger,
Ashta stew,
Heatleech chowder,
etc.

It would be amusing to say the least.

You can do that without playing Fallout.

I wouldn't mind an IRL recipe for a gelatinous wine.

In the end, if they end up making the SF cookbook it will no doubt be like the Vault Dwellers cookbook, which is just regular common recipes with a word crossed out and replaced with something more Fallouty. So much like the Fallout entry Salmon Mirelock Croquettes, we'd get Spiced noodles worms.

Why would anyone want a cookbook for square food? Nothing is close to appetizing in the the Chunk's Diner. And what the heck is up with square blocks of wine, instead of sipping you have to nibble your wine.
