Fallout Fandom Recipes Cookbook: Video Game Food
My fellow Vault Dwellers, the Fallout Universe is full of unique and questionable foods!
Recreating fictional food from Fallout in a real-life cooking experience is a flavorful fusion of gaming geekery and gastronomy.
In the immersive world of Fallout, iconic dishes like squirrel on a stick and West Virginia pepperoni rolls satisfy the taste buds and hunger meter, becoming virtual symbols of post-apocalyptic sustenance.
Turning pixels to plates, this culinary cookbook offers the fandom an opportunity to transform gaming nostalgia into tangible, delectable creations.
Some of these are original recipes and not-so exotic ingredients for fandom foodies.
Playing video games is something my entire family has in common, so cooking some of these foods together was a fun way to take a digital singular experience and make it a authentic real life experience.
So far, I have 20 recipes and hope to add to it in the future!
This was super fun for me to take recipes from my favorite games and turn them into meals for my family!
My family loved being my taste testers, as fans of the award-winning series will recognize the delicious wasteland fare.
Enjoy the irradiated delicacies of the world of Bethesda entertainment.
Which final dish is your favorite?
Fallout Food:
I've traveled all over the wasteland in the Fallout game 4 and 76 and love to find recipe plans and then actually make them in the game.
I decided to take it one step further and make the recipes in real life!
I use the game recipes as a reference and some are actually spot on.
Others I've taken creative liberty to make the majority of the final cooking just look like the picture, or just so it will taste amazing.
Fallout Cookbook:
Some of the recipes I've included are recipe plans found in the game and I've labeled their title as Fallout 76 Recipe.
Other recipes are just made up...but a great way to get kids to eat something new!
This is my own recipe book as a diehard fallout fan.
We had such a great time eating so much food from the Wasteland since February and I'm excited to share after all the prep time that went into it!
I'm not ready to rent a trailer in Nuka World on Tour next to Betty Hill and sell my brahmin steaks, tasty versions of the mirelurk egg omelette or mole rat wonder meat dip to an army of hungry friends...but this whole process was so much fun!
I'm ready to kick back and watch the new Fallout prime series--with appetizers and maybe my own glass of nuka-cola!
With all the food I made from the whole fallout franchise, everything tasted amazing!
I'm so glad I didn't have to resort to eating moldy food...the worst of the pixelated provisions in the game.

Fallout Themed Recipe: Blamco Mac and Cheese
Blamco, the household name of Macaroni and Cheese all across the Fallout Worlds...and renowned among the Wastelanders.
It's the classic box mac and cheese, a staple in prewar times.
You'll find these boxes of macky cheese spread through the wasteland, just waiting to be consumed.

Fallout 76 Recipe: Cranberry Meatball Grinder
You never forget taking down your first scorchbeast--they are massive bat-like dragons that spew irradiated fumes from their mouths.
They are vicious and usually surrounded by Scorched...so you can't just focus on the Scorchbeast.
They are so big--but give you surprisingly little meat.
Hopefully you can collect enough scorchbeast meat for a delicious cranberry meat ball grinder.
Sweet and savory, this cranberry meatball grinder has the perfect flavor combo!
Blood Leaf Aioli Dipping Sauce

The actual game recipe: Mirelurk cake with bloodleaf aioli is known across the wasteland, but I'm focusing on the star of the show, the blood leaf aioli.
Scorchbeast Sliders
The best dish to make with scorchbeast meat in my opinion! I'm used Texas Pulled Pork, pre cooked and seasoned meat from Just Meats!

Fallout 76 Recipe: Pepperoni Rolls from Riding Shotgun
Absolutely my favorite. We've made these 3 times now!
Add a little olive oil to the top with some seasame seeds...or chia seeds for the perfect finish.

Pepperoni Rolls from Fallout 76 are worth the hype in the video game and in real life!
