Fallout: The Vault Dweller's Official Cookbook

Quick Summary: I just got the cookbook and haven’t made any recipes yet, but I’m excited that I FINALLY got this book. If you want this as a collectible or a taste of what it would be like to set the world on fire, then this cookbook is for you. Why I Bought It: When I tell you that I’ve been trying to get my hands on this book for a year, I’m not joking. This cookbook was sold out every time I looked for it. I absolutely loved Fallout 4, and when the show came out, I was even more excited when a lot of merch came to light. Much to my chagrin, the cookbook was the most popular. I’m happy to add this to my collection. Now, if I can get my hands on a Pip-Boy, we’ll be cooking. First Impressions: Packaging: It wasn’t packaged in any unique way besides packing paper to keep it from moving in the box, and it wasn’t wrapped in plastic. Overall Look: This cookbook definitely has the appeal of a futuristic 1950s era. It has clever descriptions and lore from the vault dweller who wrote it. Recipe Instructions: It provides substitutions on specific recipes for dietary restrictions (see page 9) and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points for each recipe. Pros & Cons: ✅ It has so many recipes that I wanted to try from the game ✅ I love the descriptions from the Vault Dweller that were added to the recipe. ✅ I finally got my hands on it after a year. I am so happy having it, even if I don’t use it. ❌ It doesn’t have a recipe for a Stealth Boy Best For: ➡️ Fans of the Fallout games or the show. Even ghouls will have fun with this. Final Verdict: ➡️ I recommend it. Once I make something, I’ll see if I can update my review. Perhaps, a Thanksgiving feast?

I've had this book for almost two weeks now, and I've enjoyed preparing several meals out of it so far! Each recipe has a full-page picture on the opposite page accompanying it. There are loads of humorous notes and descriptions in the book, as well as some nice artwork on the inside covers and some clever nods to the game (such as the S.P.E.C.I.AL. stats). The quality of the book itself is also great; it's hardcover and printed on high-quality paper. The recipes range from appetizers to desserts and everything in between, and they all have clearly-written instructions including prep time and servings. Some are more difficult to prepare than others but there's many that even a novice cook could pull off with ease. The one thing that was a slight disappointment was that there are few clear instructions on how to adjust the recipes in case you need to substitute ingredients. Some recipes call for ingredients that may be somewhat difficult to find, and having some dietary restrictions myself that may be an issue for some buyers. However, this is a problem I've found with most other cookbooks that aren't specifically tailored for people on a special diet. Overall I think the author did a great job of including a wide variety of recipes, and many of them have ingredients such as coconut milk if you're lactose intolerant. There are even some vegetarian recipes included as well, like the meatloaf. Also, the recipes that call for ingredients such as bison work well with other meats. I tried one with beef and it cooked up wonderfully! Also, as another reviewer mentioned, the Nuka-Cola recipe was more generic than the 17 fruit flavors the game states it has. I wasn't expecting to add 17 different fruits into a drink recipe anyway but there's really only a handful of citrus and cinnamon flavors that come through to differentiate it from regular cola. The Nuka-Cola Quantum recipe seems better in this regard since there's also fruit punch and pomegranate included. Aside from that the drink recipes seem to be tasty, and there's a nice amount that are non-alcoholic as well. I got what I expected and I didn't find the content of the book to be out of setting. For what it is (a Fallout-branded cookbook) I think the author did an excellent job and I've enjoyed flipping through it just to read the notes. If you're either a fan of the game or just a chef looking for some unique spins on recipes (the chili comes to mind) then this is a must-have. Looking forward to the Elder Scrolls one as well!

Making a cookbook for Fallout must have been kind of hard to write for, considering the food in Fallout is, like, roach meat, so I applaud the author on making some really neat, lore inspired recipes. Some of them are a bit basic. The BlamCo Mac and Cheese is literally just mac and cheese, same with the YumYum Deviled Eggs and several other recipes. But it's more an exercise in imagination. However there are some really interesting recipes in here, especially the drinks.

Quick review: -Easy cooking skill level -Affordable meals -Beautiful layout and images -Many recipes can be altered for vegetarian/sugar-free/gluten free with some practice -This cookbook is not focused on dietary needs. It is; however, super fun, beginner & budget friendly! The book arrived in perfect condition and it's a lovely item for Fallout fans! Sometimes I've gotten themed cookbooks for other things and have been disappointed by the simplicity or straight out failed recipes, but this cook book did not disappoint! I will say that if you're looking for cookbook with sugar-free, keto, vegan or any other type of diet restriction friendly recipes this isn't quite the book for that. I do like that it says in the first page that you can adapt these recipes which I agree with. It doesn't do that alterations for you, but really with which practice you can change any recipe to fit your needs. This book has some unique recipes that I've actually never seen before like the Scotch Eggs (Brahmin Fries). It's been a fun way to try to meals and get some more practice in the kitchen. What I love, love, love are the pictures for each recipe! I am a visual person and I like to see what something is supposed to look like and it's more attention grabbing making me more likely to want to make something.

Lots of great recipes from the video game. Some of the favorites are missing but I think there's a second cookbook.

Any Vault Dwellers dream! This is an amazing cook book filled with fun recipes directly from, or inspired by the Fallout series! From the Rad-tastic drink itself Nuka Cola to Mystery Meat Wrapped Nukalurk, there are so many great recipes to try. Some ingredients, such as vanilla beans, may be hard to come by, but the author gives plenty of suggestions for replacements and substitutes. All recipes seem like they could be made vegetarian or vegan if the cook chooses! 100% recommend but make sure you have Rad-Away on hand!

Muito bom. Conteúdo muito legal, para amantes de Fallout é uma grande aquisição certamente. Além do conteúdo, material de muita qualidade, bem editado e bem ilustrado.
